LIST OF SPECIFICS AND REMEDIES. 55 



There is a slow form of this disease, as follows : 

 poor appetite ; low spirits ; uneasiness ; occasional 

 pawing the ground ; looking at the belly and 

 groaning ; belly painful when pressed upon, and 

 tucked up, quick breathing, small, weak pulse, 

 bound bowels, awkward way of walking with the 

 hind-legs, mouth dry and bad smelling, body thin, 

 coat staring and unthrifty, urine scanty, weak- 

 ness. As the disease advances, the abdomen fills 

 with a water fluid, and the disease terminates as 

 dropsy. 



TREATMENT. From the commencement, the 

 Specific for Inflammation, No. 1, is the most im- 

 portant remedy, and may be given, five drops ev- 

 ery half hour or hour, during the more urgent 

 symptoms, and then at longer intervals for the 

 acute form. 



If there should be purging, alternate the Spe- 

 cific for Dysentery, No. C, with that for Inflamma- 

 tion, No. 1, at intervals of an hour, and then less 

 frequently as the disease improves. 



In the slow form of the disease, the alternate 

 use of the Specific for Indigestion, No. 10, and that 

 for Colic, No. 6, three or four times per day, will 

 be found most effectual in preventing a termina- 

 tion in dropsy, and in restoring the animal. 



DIARRHEA, PURGING, SCOURING, LOOSE- 



NESS. 



Green food ; new hay ; worms ; excess of bile ; 



cold air or water ; quick work, after much eating 



or drinking, may produce diarrhea. So does 



| aloes, or other purges, which may even kill a 



horse.
