j JAUNDICE, YELLOWS, DISEASED LIVER. 



Young horses rarely have diseased livers, but at 

 the age of eight or nine years, the disease is more 

 common, and in some cases quite suddenly, the 

 covering of the liver gives way, and symptoms of 

 fatal peritonitis appear. 



SYMPTOMS Jaundice or Yellows, is more fre- 

 quent, and is marked thus. The animal is dull, 

 sleepy, and unwilling to move ; he eats little or 

 nothing ; the coat stares ; the urine is scanty ; the 

 dung dark colored and in lumps. The nose, 

 tongue, eyes and mouth become yellow, from the 

 abundance of the bile in the blood. The dung 

 becomes mixed with bile, and covered with slime ; 

 the urine is very thick, dark colored, and full of 

 bile. The right side is painful when pressed 

 against, and the horse looks towards it ; he may 

 be lame in the right fore-leg, or paw the ground 

 with it. These symptoms may increase, and 

 cough, quick breathing, and full, quick pulse, be 

 added, which afterwards becomes quite weak and 

 slow, and the legs very cold. He then becomes 

 more and more dull, stupid and sleepy, staggers, 

 falls to the ground and dies. 



TREATMENT. Rarely will anything more be re- 

 quired than the Specific for Jaundice, No. 10, of 

 which a dose of five drops may be given, three 

 times per day.
