 hungry, and eats well, he loses condition ; is

 the house, especially at night. If some of the 

 urine is boiled, a thick white sediment forms, 

 due to coagulation of the albumen.

 is better than plain water. Give from one to

 water three times a day. In some cases, 

 when symptoms very acute, from the tenth to 

 a grain 1 of powdered opium three times a day 

 is useful.
