CANKER IN THE MOUTH. 



The canker is generally owing to the bridle 

 being rusty, and may easily be known by the little 

 blotches, or brown specks, which appear on the 

 tongue and other parts of the mouth. If, how- 

 ever, the disease is not caused by the bridle-bit, it 

 appears in small, white specks, and in time will 

 spread nearly over the whole of the mouth, and 

 occasion irregular uloers. The following will be 

 found an effectual cure for this complaint.
