Dysentery, Flux. 



Dysentery is most liable to occur in horses in good 

 condition, and is caused by change of food, and over- 

 work, or sudden exposure to cold and wet. 



SYMPTOMS. There are frequent passages of slimy, 

 bad smelling, fatty matter, like " molten grease,'' 

 which is more or less mixed or stained with blood. 

 This is passed off with much straining and effort, 

 and with frequent unsuccessful straining or attempts 

 to effect a passage. The mouth is hot and dry, the 

 legs cold, the breathing quick, no food is taken, the 

 pulse is small and weak, there is great thirst, and the 

 horse becomes- thin and weak. Notunfrequently, in 

 straining, the gut is thrust out of the fundament. 



TREATMENT. Should there be considerable heat 

 and fever, it will be as well, or better, to give a few 

 doses, fifteen drops of the SPECIFIC for FEVER A A, 

 at intervals of two hours. 



Then after two or three doses of A A, give the 

 SPECIFIC for Dysentery, F F, a dose of fifteen drops, 

 every two hours, until relieved. As the disease im- 

 proves the intervals between the doses may be in* 

 creased. The persevering use of the remedy will 

 cure all cases. 



Jaundice, Yellows, Diseased Liver. 



Young horses rarely have diseased livers, but at 

 the age of eight or nine years, the disease is more 

 common, and, in some cases, quite suddenly, the 

 covering of the liver gives way, and symptoms of 

 fatal peritonitis appear.
