him ; or he turns round, or remains tranquil, with 

 bead depressed and legs crowded beneath his body^ 

 without being able to change this unusual attitude, 

 unless assisted to do so. The pulse is very slow, 

 respiration slow, often sighing, tongue foul, mouth 

 dry and clammy. 



TREATMENT. In all similar cases, whether incip- 

 ient or fully developed, give first the Specific, A A, 

 for CONGESTION, fifteen drops, and repeat it every 

 one, two, or three hours, until the animal is relieved, 

 or for twelve or twenty- four hours, and then at in- 

 tervals of say four hours, alternate it with the 

 Specific for INDIGESTION, J J, until restored. When 

 this dozing, stupid condition mentioned above is 

 present, indicating evident congestion to the head, 

 fifteen drops of the Specific for CONGESTION A A, each 

 morning and noon, and the same for INDIGESTION, 

 J J, at night, will soon restore the animal again. 



Paralysis. 



Paralysis, entire or partial loss of nervous power 

 over the muscles of certain parts or portions of the 

 body, occasionally occurs in the horse as a conse- 

 quence of mechanical injuries, severe cold, or some 

 internal cause 



When occuring in the face, the muscles of one 

 side lose the power of motion ; the lips hang clown 

 and seem swollen, are drawn to one side, or pulled 

 upward ; food is picked up and retained with diffi- 

 culty, mastication is imperfect, and fuod drops 

 readily from the mouth. Sometimes there is no 

 feeling in the face or lips.
