LIST OF SPECIFICS AND REMEDIES. 51 



TREATMENT. We have the Specific for Colic, 

 No. 6, a remedy which rarely fails to arrest this 

 disease. Give five drops on the tongue, and repeat 

 the doses every half or even quarter of an hour, 

 until relieved, omitting the medicine altogether, 

 or giving it at longer intervals, as soon as an 

 amendment is perceived. 



If the attack has clearly been occasioned by an 

 overfeed, or by bad, heavy, or indigestible food, it 

 will be best to alternate the Specific for Indigestion, 

 No. 10 with that for Colic, at the intervals directed.

 progress of the disease, fever, or inflammatory 

 symptoms should exist, then alternate the Fe er 

 Specific, No. 1, with that for Colic, at the intervals 

 mentioned. 



Should there be a suspicion that Bots or Worms 

 are an exciting cause, the Worm Specific, No. 4, 

 may be alternated with that for colic, five drops 

 every half-hour or hour. 



N. B. In cases of colic, the greatest danger, and 

 the worst possible fault, is injudicious haste in 

 giving too many and improper things. Thousands 

 of horses are killed by the drugs given to cure 

 colic, where one dies of the disease itself. Give 

 only the Specific Remedies, and at the directed 

 intervals, however urgent the case may appear.

This is merely a form of colic characterized by 

 an enormous production of flatulence. The pain 

 is sharper, the animal more furious and violent 

 than in ordinary colic ; the belly on both sides, is 

 more or less swelled with wind; there are rum-
