 take the trouble to read over quietly the dif- 

 ferent inflammations in the stable, in presence 

 of their horse when reported sick ; yet some, 

 who do take that trouble, are often in such a 

 fright, if the horse is valuable, or in such a 

 hurry, that they fail in catching the symptoms 

 indicative of the part affected. 



If the lungs are the seat — the purple nos- 

 tril ; the stiff fixed standing, with the forelegs 

 rather apart ; and the deathly claylike coldness 

 of the ears and legs, are the principal distin- 

 guishing signs. 



If the bowels — the redness of the eyelids, 

 when turned down ; the lying down and get- 

 ting up again ; and coldness of the ears and legs. 



If the liver — There will be yellowness about 

 the eyes, added to the other symptoms of in- 

 flammation of the bowels : and if you here make 

 a mistake, the treatment for this will possibly 

 cure the other, although, of course, not so well, 

 nor so safely, as purging is dangerous when the 

 bowels are the seat.
