SYMPTOMS.- -The earlier symptoms, such as dull- 

 ness, loss of appetite, staring coat, dry nose, and 

 tender loins, may not be observed, and the color of 

 the urine may be the first thing to attract attention 

 or indicate the nature of the complaint. The water 

 is at first more or less red ; the breathing is quick, 

 labored, and attended with heaving at the flanks ; 

 the legs, ears, and horns are cold ; the pulse is small 

 and wiry, and the milk is of a reddish hue. As the 

 disease advances, the urine increases in redness, 

 and towards the last becomes yellowish and then 

 quite black the pulse becomes weak ; the white of 

 the eye, and every part of the skin that can be seen, 

 are of a brownish yellow color, the animal graduaHy 

 loses strength and flesh, the eyes are sunken in their 

 sockets, and at last death ensues, preceded in some 

 cases, by excessive purging. 



TREATMENT. Give the SPECIFIC for FEVER, A A, 

 a dose of twenty drops three or four times per day. 



Should the disease not yield within two or three 

 days, the FEVER SPECIFIC may be alternated with 

 that for SCANTY URINATION., H H, twenty drops four 

 times per day. The first mentioned SPECIFIC will, 

 however, generally be found sufficient.
