oak bark, gum kino, opium, chalk, etc. Either of these in 

 moderate doses will usually check the copious flow of urine. 

 Either of the following will be found sufficient ; uva ursi (bear's 

 whortleberry), powdered, two ounces ; oak bark pulverized, four 

 ounces; catechu pulverized, one ounce ; opium pulverized, two 

 drachms : mix either with molasses or honey, and divide into 

 six balls, giving one every day. Or, the following may be 

 used with equal advantage : opium pulverized, half an ounce ; 

 sulphate of iron, one ounce ; gentian root pulverized, one 

 ounce : mix with molasses, and divide into six balls — one to be

BLOODY XJEINE. 



This disease, known also as hematura, frequently arises from 

 strains across the loins, violent exercise, unwholesome food, 

 calculous concretions in the kidneys, etc. It is not attended 

 by symptoms of general derangement; the appetite is not 

 usually impaired, nor is any marked degree of fever present. 

 The color of the urine first calls attention, in voiding which 

 the animal appears to strain slightly. 



If the bowels are at all costive, injections should at once be 

 thrown up the rectum ; linseed tea should be given as a drink ; 

 mustard applications to the loins. Give internally one of the 

 following once a day : of sugar of lead, one ounce ; linseed 

 meal, two ounces ; mix with molasses or honey, and divide 

 into eight pills ; follow this for ten or twelve days, with one 

 drachm of sulphuric acid in a pail of water to drink. Catechu, 

 logwood, dragon's blood, oak bark, etc., have been used with 

 advantage.
