I)Rr.NCH. — Nitre and yellow resin, half an ounce each, and 2d 

 droj>3 ul" aniseed. The oil should be Hist well mixed with the resin > 

 and the whole given in a quart of water gruel. 



Recurrence of the same affection may be prevented 



in some measure, by giving the same in another way, 



namely, as a cough powder, substituting anisseed, 1 



ounce, for the oil, and pounding the whole together, 



and mixing with the food. 



INFLAMMATIOx^ OF THE STOIVIACH AND 



INTESTINES. 

 This is occasioned by colds, which sometimes take 

 a serious hold there in consequence of some previous 

 injury or v eakness. When one of these organs is 

 disordered, the other participates in the effect. Cholic 

 of long continuance, if the animal is worked while 

 this is on him, is another prolific source of inflamma- 

 tion of the intestines, as is the drinking of cold water 

 copiously, while in a state of perspiration, or after a 

 trying journey, which is always attended with spas- 

 modic cholic of the stomach and bowels, at first, and 

 of inflammation sooner or later, according to the tem- 

 perature of the individual. The necessity of getting 

 rid of the lesser attack before it acquires a permanent 

 and dangerous aspect must be obvious ; and as the 

 treatment proper for either, is at total variance with 

 the other, the one requiring warmth and stimulation, 

 the other a cooling and reducing treatment, our first 

 care must be to ascertain the exact nature of the at- 

 tack ; for a mistake in this respect would prove fatal. 

 Therefore, I have deemed it necessary to give a table 

 of the symptoms of each : 



SYMPTOMS. 



A Table distinguishing between the Colic or Gripes, and Infiam' 

 mation of the Boiocls, by the symptoms that mark each case.
