TREATMENT. In this and in all similar diseases, first see 

 that plenty of fresh, pure air can be obtained without a draft 

 of wind the animal would be better in the open air than in a 

 close, poorly ventilated stable keep him well blanketed, and 



Take Carbonate of Ammonia, .... 2 drams. 



Water, ........ 8 ounces. 



Mix, and when dissolved, add either of the following : 



Take Sulphuric Ether, ...... 1 ounce. 



Laudanum, ....... J ounce. 



Or Sweet Spirits of Niter, 1 ounce. 



Laudanum, ....... J ounce. 



Mix and give as one dose, and repeat every two hours until

 he should not be exposed to the cold. Tonics are necessary. 

 Give gentian powders, one-half ounce three times a day, or give
