COLDS, 201 



these must be added the necessary regula- 

 tions of GOOD dressing and gentle exercise, 

 which in oeaeral soon effect the cure of such 

 COLDS as are couuteracted upon the fir^t 

 attack. 



On the contrary, should time or circum- 

 stances have prevented those early advan- 

 tages, the attack has been neglected, and the 

 disorder made a rapid progress ; should the 

 COUGH be violent and constant, the horse 

 very dull and heavy, declining his food, and 

 the symptomatic fever run high, the blood 

 will consequently prove as before described- 

 In such case the symptoms will perhaps not 

 immediately submit to the above plan so 

 soon as may be wished or expected, tlierefore 

 repeat your bleeding in two or three days at 

 farthest, according to the state and necessity, 

 altering the mashes to equal parts of malt 

 and bran, scalded with boiimg water ; Avhen 

 nearly cool enough for the mauger, stir in of 

 elecampane^ aniseed, and liquorice powders, 

 each one ounce ; let this be repeateu every 

 night and morning, continuing the noon- 

 feed dry, and the nitro' two ounces in the 

 water^ as before directed.
