 over-feeding, or from eating unwholesome food ; 

 and sometimes from a morbid change in the se^ 

 cretions of the stomach and intestines. ; It may 

 also be occasioned by a sudden check of perspi- 

 ration, or by taking cold. Horses labouring un- 

 der this disease are frequently attacked with vio- 

 lent griping pains, by which a quantity of mucous 

 substance, resembling jelly, is passed together 

 with his dung. From whatever cause it may pro- 

 ceed from, the foundation of cure must be by 

 purging : the following ball will be suitable.
