extent. The muscles become rigid; tail usually ele- 

 vated. These symptoms become aggravated and 

 the muscles rigid. Jaws completely set; nostrils di- 

 lated, and he presents a picture of great agony un- 

 til death relieves him. All symptoms may increase 

 for eight to ten days, and then diminish under ju- 

 dicial treatment. 



TREATMENT.— The animal should be placed in 

 a box stall in as quiet a place as possible. Remove 

 all bedding; keep the plaee moderately dark and 

 the attendant must be as quiet as possible about 

 him. Give him one ounce of Barbadoes aloes made 

 up in form of a ball, or a quart of raw linseed oil. 

 If the jaws are set and you cannot open his mouth 

 sufficiently, dissolve the aloes in a couple ounces 

 of sweet oil and throw on the back of the tongue 

 with a syringe. If the jaws are set give an injec- 

 tion under the skin every four hours, of one-fourth 

 of a grain of atropia and five grains of sulphate of 

 morphia dissolved in one dram of water. Keep a 

 pail of water constantly before him., placed high, 

 so he can put his mouth in it without exerting him- 

 self. If he is unable to swallow inject gruel and 

 milk into the rectum in order to keep his strength 

 up. 



CURB. 



Curb. — This lesion is the bulging backward of the 

 posterior part of the hock. It may be caused by a 

 sprain of the strong ligament or tendon on the 

 back part of the hock. This condition is mostly 

 found on hocks of a curby nature. It may also be 

 caused by slipping, jumping or pulling heavy loads.
