LIST OF SPECIFICS AND REMEDIES. 63 



HEMATURIA, OR BLOODY URINE. 



This is usually a mere symptom of some other 

 disease. Blows, or a violent strain of the loins ; 

 some kinds of irritating plants ; stones in the 

 kidneys or bladder ; ulceration of the bladder ; 

 Spanish flies given internally, or administered 

 as a blister may either of them produce bloody 

 urine as a symptom. 



The symptoms are : discharge of urine mixed 

 more or less with blood, or containing clots. 

 When the blood is caused by some disease of the 

 kidney, there is usually pain in walking, straddling 

 of the hind legs and an awkward way of walking. 

 If the blood comes from the kidneys, it will be 

 intimately mixed with the urine, but if from the 

 bladder, it will pass off with the last of the urine 

 rather than the first. 



TREATMENT. Five drops of the Specific for 

 L rinary Diseases, No. 8, given every morning and 

 night, will generally promptly relieve. If depend- 

 ent upon organic disease, more time may be re- 

 quired, but the remedy is the same. 



RETENTION OF URINE. 



From holding the urine too long ; cramp or 

 spasm of the neck of the bladder ; stone in the 

 bladder, or other disease which prevents the blad- 

 der contracting upon its contents, there may be 

 retention, and the animal unable to voiding urine. 



The symptoms are similar to those in colic, but 

 characterised, however, by the horse putting him 

 self in the attitude of staling, and straining with
