HA\Y, or HAWES, of the EYE. 

 In inflammation of the eye the haw is found to 

 protrude over a part of its furface to produce its falu- 

 tary office, that of protecting the weak pupil from the 

 light ; but farriers, in thefe cafes, ignorantly regard 

 the haw as the caufe of the difeafe, and cut the 

 protruding part off, which frequently blinds the 

 horfe, and is always cruel and hurtful. 



JAUNDICE. 



This difeafe in horfes feldom arifes from a defed 

 in the feci^etion of bile, but commonly from its re- 

 dundance, or difeafed quality ; hence is often ac- 

 companied with purging. Now and then, however, 

 it is accompanied with coftivenefs. 



In jaundice, the horfe is dull and heavy, the ap- 

 petite bad, the urine' dark coloured, and the eyes, 

 and mouth yellow. When fever is prefent, the dif- 

 eafe arifes from inflammation of the liver, and muft 

 be treated as other inflammations.
