COLDS AND COUGHS. S3 



Symptoms of a Cold. 



may be allowed to take five or six swallows of 

 cold water, and stand for one or two minutes 

 after, but never more; and should then resume 

 his labour. How few are sensible that the inter- 

 nal parts continue hot and inflamed for a long 

 time after the skin appears to be dry and cool: 

 hence it is necessary to observe, that a- horse 

 should be considered, while under violent exer- 

 cise, and for some time after, to be in a temporary 

 fever. 



When this complaint is permitted to remain 

 without proper medical assistance, it not unfre- 

 quently brings on some severe disorders ; such as 

 fevers, farcy, and glanders, &c. &c. After a horse 

 has taken cold^ he is seized with a tremor and 

 a chillness all over his frame ; which is chiefly 

 owing to a stoppage of the pores, and in a short 

 time there will appear a watery discharge from 

 the eyes and nose; the kernels about the ears 

 and betwixt his jaws will be swelled ; in this case 

 be will make a rattling lioise in his breathing.
