 to cure, if attended to early ; but if neglected at this 

 period, almost invariably terminates fatally. 



Symptoms. — A continual ticklish sensation in the 

 throat, caused by very small worms being engendered 

 in the branches of the windpipe, and clustering to- 

 gether in a thick, whitish fluid, cause the young ani- 

 mal to be in an almost constant stateiof hoosing or 

 coughing ; by which the digestive powers become so

 impracticable ; if this disorder be not subdued by 

 proper medicines, the animal languishes and pines 

 away, as if in a consumption. 



Remedy. — The following ball and drink will, if early 

 administered, generally remove this complaint. 



RECIPE No. 20. 



Calomel, eight to twelve grains ; 



Gentian, in powder, two drams ; 



Syrup enough to make it into a ball. 

 Give it in the morning, fasting, and let the calf be kept from food 

 for two hours : half a pint of gruel should be administered at 

 the time of giving the ball, to wash it down. 



If the hoosing continue, repeat the ball in about four 

 or five days. After each ball, give the following pur- 

 gative drink : 



RECIPE No. 21. 



Epsom salts, four ounces ; 



Ginger, in powder two drams.

 milk-warm.
