56 LIST OF SPECIFICS AND REMEDIES. 



SYMPTOMS. Frequent and abundant discharges 

 of slime, and dung mixed with slime ; pain in the 

 bowels, causing the horse to paw and stamp, look 

 at his sides, and roll about violently ; his face is 

 anxious , cold sweat breaks out ; his legs and 

 ears are cold ; the pulse becomes small and weak ; 

 the breathing becomes quickened ; body wastes 

 rapidly and alarmingly, and 110 food is taken. 

 Death, at times, occurs from sheer exhaustion. 



TREATMENT. Give the Specific for Diarrhea, 

 No. 6, five drops, three or four times per day. It 

 will generally promptly relieve. In some cases, a 

 dose of the Specific for Indigestion, No. 10, will 

 be of value. 



DYSENTERY AND FLUX. 



Dysentery is most liable to occur in horses in 

 good condition, and is caused by a change of food, 

 and overwork, or sudden exposure to cold and wet. 



SYMPTOMS. There are frequent passages of 

 slimy, bad smelling, fatty matter, like " molten 

 grease," which is more or less mixed or stained 

 with blood. This is passed off with much strain- 

 ing and effort, and with frequent unsuccessful 

 straining or attempts to effect a passage. The 

 mouth is hot and dry, the legs cold, and breath- 

 ing quick, no food is taken, the pulse is small and 

 weak, there is great thirst, and the horse becomes 

 thin and weak. Not unfrequently, in straining, 

 the gut is thrust out of the fundament. 



TREATMENT. Should there be considerable 

 heat and fever, it will be as well, or better, to give 

 a few doses of the Specific for Feter, No. 1, at in- 

 tervals of an hour or two.
