LIST OF SPECIFICS AND REMEDIES. 65 



DIURESIS, TOO PROFUSE STALING. 



In consequence of bad food, such as kiln-dried, 

 oats, mow-burnt hay, or of such medicines as 

 nitre or other diuretics, a horse may have an ex- 

 cessive flow of urine. 



The symptoms are then as follows: the horse 

 does not eat much, sweats easily, is soon tired, the 

 bowels are costive, skin dry, and coat rough, 

 tongue white, and there is a great thirst. The 

 water is quite clear and milky, passed often, and 

 in large quantities. As the disease advances, the 

 horse eats nothing, he gets thinner and weaker 

 every day, the dung is hard, lumpy, and covered 

 with sliuie, the hair stands on end, and the flow 

 of urine becomes enormous. If not cured, death 

 soon ensues. 



TREATMENT. The food must be changed, and 

 none but the best given. Change of food is 

 always of service under such circumstances. 



Give five drops of the Specific No. 10, for Indi- 

 gestion, five times per day. This will usually be 

 efficient ; if it fails, you may try Phosphoric Acid, 

 third attenuation, the same dose, three times per 

 day.
