quarters, and move the bowels tlLorougMy, sa- 

 liD.e aperients being especially indicated in this 

 trouble. Salicylic acid, Colchicum, Iodide of 

 Potash, Rhus Tox and Guaiacum are the usual 

 remedies employed in the treatment of rheu- 

 matic troubles, but I would recommend Glover's 

 Blood Purifier on account of the prompt altera- 

 tive effect it has on the blood and in chan"rinc: 

 the secretions. Lime water should also be added 

 to the drinking water, and Nitrate of Potash 

 given when fever exists. Give Glover's Liver 

 Pills every few days to keep the liver and bow- 

 els active. As a local application, nothing can 

 be better than Glover' s Liniment, which should 

 be rubbed briskly into •the affected parts night 

 and morning. Hot fomentations are also serv- 

 iceable.

Opthalmia, when first appearing, is a simple 

 infiammation, caused by some foreign matter 

 lodging in the eyes, a blow or scratch, and is 

 frequently present in distemper, skin diseases, 

 or any constitutional derangement. 



The eyes are congested, evincing engorgement 

 of the blood vessels, and have a watery appear- 

 ance, the animal winking and showing a strong 

 dislike to light. If the inflammation is not sub- 

 dued a whitish film will form over one or both 

 eyes, as the case may be, followed by ulcera-
