106 WARRANTY OF 



Bastard-Strangles, or Vives. 



When a horse has not had the strangles at the usual 

 time, that is, generally, between the second and fourth 

 year, he is frequently attacked by this disease, being 

 in fact the strangles delayed till a later period of 

 life than usual : Vives really meaning a revival of 

 the attack, which is frequently called by old farriers, 

 bastard-strangles, or vives, and which is a more obstinate 

 complaint than true strangles. 



Vives is not often, in itself, fatal, nor difficult to 

 cure, if attended to without delay ; but, if neglected, it 

 is often followed by very serious results, such as broken- 

 wind, or even glanders ; it is originated by a severe 

 cold too long neglected. 



The accompanying cough is more violent than that 

 in strangles. 



A horse labouring under vives or bastard-strangles is 



UNSOUND. 



Should you have bought the horse with an expressed 

 understanding that the disease under which he is labour- 

 ing was the strangles only, and that he was, in other 

 respects, sound, you may return him if the complaint is 

 found to be the vives, on the score of his not fulfilling 

 the conditions of the warranty.
