HORNED CATTLE. ,623 



Foul in the Foot, arifes from want of 

 cleanlinefs. Prevent by conllant attention. 

 For cure, cleanfe with bran and water boiled, 

 and lather of black foap. Ufe Bracken's Fiflula- 

 water (Index.) 



Garget in the Maw, from fwallowing 

 crabs, acorns, &c. See the fame in Horfes. 



Scouring in Cows. This is common 

 enough, and I have feen it continue fo long 

 for want of care, that the difeafe has been irre- 

 coverable. Dr. Downing's prefcriptions in 

 this cafe, of turpentine, pomegranate powder, 

 pipe-clay, oak-bark, verjuice, &c. appear to 

 me very dangerous, and likely to lock up the 

 offending matter in the inteftines. This diar- 

 rh(za arifes from various caufes, to wit, change 

 of diet, the folution of a cold, particularly after 

 calving, or in travel acrofs the country ; laftly, 

 it may be a fymptora of rot, either from bad 

 keep, or conftitutional ; this I think I have 

 fometimes difcovered by the hair pulling off, 

 as fiom a glandered horfe. Take it in time, 

 and allow comfortable maflies with warm, dry, 

 and generous keep. See the difeafe in Horfes. 

 It is called the rot, in the North. 



The HoosE, or Chronic Cough. This 

 in cows is often incurable. It ufually proceeds 

 from cold taken in calving, and cold and wet 

 winter lying. For palliation, or cure, fee bro- 

 ken wind in Horfes.
