 "When the symptoms of mortification are removed the 

 danger will be past, and the animal will be seen to improve 

 every day. But it will be necessary to give mild purga- 

 tives to cleanse the bowels : the following, once in two days, 

 will be found beneficial : — 



Sulphate of magnesia . 8 ounces, 

 Castor oil . . . -^ pint, 

 Gruel ... 1 pint. 



When evident signs of recovery are manifested, the ani- 

 mal may be turned out daily ; but if the weather be cold, 

 great caution will be necessary, and only two hours of mid- 

 day exposure should be had recourse to in winter, when the 

 days are fine. Too sudden transitions have produced con- 

 sumption and megrims after this complaint. 



The cow-houses should be well fumigated after diseased 

 cattle have occupied them. 



SNOEER. 



Symptoms. — The snores or snivels are known by a col- 

 lection of thick, coagulated matter, inside the nostrils ; and 

 when the accumulation becomes great, it impedes the re- 

 spiration through the nostrils, and produces a snivelling 

 sound, as the air is expired and inspired. This complaint 

 is sometimes mistaken for a disease in the throat, where 

 it is imagined it causes obstruction. However, an inspec- 

 tion of the nostrils will readily show whether it is the snivels 

 or not. The inflammation causes swelling in the nostrils, 

 and it is not until it has ulcerated and suppuration has 

 taken place, that the animal is relieved.
