46 LIST OF SPECIFICS AND REMEDIES. 



and swelling. Should there be any derangment of 

 the digestive organs, a dose or two of the Specific 

 for Indigestion, No. 10, will promptly relieve not 

 only the derangement of the stomach, but the 

 Lampass also. 



The searing of the bars with a hot iron, as is 

 sometimes practiced, can not be too strongly con- 

 demned. It tortures the horse to no purpose, ren- 

 ders the mouth callous, and destroys the delicacy 

 and sensibility of a part upon which all the pleas- 

 ure of driving and riding consists. . 



CRIB-BITING. 



Much has been written upon crib-biting. It is 

 generally regarded as a vicious habit, but is, we 

 think, connected more or less intimately with a 

 morbid condition of the digestive organs. The 

 horse stands with his neck bent, lays hold of the 

 manger with his teeth, and violently sucks in 

 wind, and then again with a grunt belches it out. 

 It frequently occurs when eating, and the food 

 and a large amount of saliva is either again 

 thrown into the manger or upon the ground. The 

 habit is very inveterate, and said also to be taken 

 or imitated by one horse from another. Wind- 

 sucking is a variety of the same thing. 



TREATMENT. The Specific for Indigestion, No. 

 10 should be given daily five drops, or morning 

 and night. Omit for a few days, and then go on 

 again, one dose daily. In many cases the disease 

 or habit may be cured entirely in all benefited.
