breathes very noisily. The nostrils are dilated and nose 

 extended. 



Treatment: Place the animal in as comfortable a 

 place as possible, permitting as much fresh air as pos- 

 sible, but avoiding drafts. Blanket the animal if the 

 weather is chilly, also hand rub the legs and bandage 

 with woolen cloths. 



Administer Chlorate of Potash, two ounces ; Nitrate of 

 Potash, two ounces; Tannic Acid, one-half ounce; Mo- 

 lasses, eight ounces. Mix well and place one tablespoon- 

 ful on the tongue every three or four hours. Peed soft 

 food, as wheat bran mashes and steamed rolled oats, or 

 boiled vegetables. Give drinking water with the chill 

 taken off. 



It is always necessary to apply liniments to the throat,

 Fort., four ounces; Oil of Turpentine, four ounces, and 

 Sweet Oil, four ounces. Apply and rub in well two or 

 three times a day.

 elevated a degree or two, the appetite poor and the 

 nose dry. 



Treatment: Feed laxative food and see that they 

 have fresh water to drink. Also, place two drams of 

 Soda Bisulphite once or twice a day in gelatin capsule 

 and give with capsule gun. Do not permit the cow to
