STOMACH-STAGQEBS. 125 



TREATMENT. Correct the feeding Give not too 

 much, and only that most acceptable at first. Give 

 fifteen drops of the SPECIFIC for INDIGESTION, J J, 

 morning and night. It will likewise correct the 

 rough staring coat which accompanies this unthrifty 

 condition. 



Stomach-Staggers. 



The cause of this condition is excessive repletion 

 and distension of the stomach with undigested food. 

 It occurs also from weakness of the stomach, bad 

 condition, old age, eating too much dry food after 

 long fasting, violent or hard work immediately after 

 a full meal. These causes prevent the digestion 

 and passage of the food, and, as a result, congestion 

 of the brain and staggers. 



SYMPTOMS. Are similar to those of mad staggers 

 at the commencement, and are principally known 

 from each other by the manner in which the disease 

 comes on. The horse is found dull and sleepy ; 

 perhaps still eating slowly and carelessly ; or he is 

 fast asleep, the head upon the manger, or against 

 the wall, or between his legs; the breathing is slow 

 and labored ; the pulse slower than in health ; the 

 eyes closed or nearly so ; slight convulsions occur ; 

 the nose and eyes look yellow ; he will sometimes 

 paw on the ground, look around to his flanks, or lie 

 down and roll, showing that he is griped and un- 

 easy. All these symptoms become worse by degrees 

 until the animal dies.
