i82 THE HORSE 



the kidneys endeavour to deal with and rid the system 

 of the noxious material which has entered it along with 

 the forage. Mow-burned hay and musty oats commonly 

 produce the symptom, i.e. excessive urination, now under 

 consideration. As soon as the cause has been removed 

 the trouble should cease. It is only a temporary form of 

 diabetes, although a true form, i.e. one in which sugar 

 is contained in the urine, occasionally occurs in the horse. 

 The treatment comprises the removal of the cause and 

 the use of some medicine, the prescription of which con- 

 tains iodine and iron. Consult your veterinary surgeon 

 at once.
