DISEASES OF THE HORSE. 



THEIR NATURE, SYMPTOMS, CAUSE, AND TREATMENT. 



An alphabetical classification of dis- 

 ease is the only arrangement adapted 

 to popular instruction and do- 

 mestic use. As some diseases 

 have more than one com- 

 mon name, a few references 

 are all that may be neces- 

 sary to find the particular 

 disease wanted. In every 

 disease the treatment I have first recom- 

 mended should be tried; and, if it be not 

 successful, the next in order will be taken. 

 Also begin with the smallest dose, increasing, diminishing, 

 or withdrawing it altogether, as the case seems to require. 

 I do not think it necessary to quote authorities to substan- 

 tiate what is said in regard to this, or that medicine as a 

 remedy, as the plans and remedies are those employed by 

 the profession. 



Abrasion signifies to tear off, and is applied to the skin 

 when it has been rubbed or torn off, and to the lining 

 membranes of the nose. The treatment will be found under 

 that of bleeding wounds.
