mFL ANIMATION OF THE KIDXEYS. 17 



INFLAMMATION OF THE KIDNEYS. 



The symptoms of this disease are similar to 

 those of inflammation of the bladder, but are 

 to be treated in quite a different manner. In- 

 flammation of the kidneys is brought on by 

 over-riding, heavy loads, improper feeding, and 

 sometimes by being poled on the haunches, or 

 across the kidneys and loins. *' 



Treatment — Kemedy. 



Place a mustard plaster made with vinegar 

 across thfi loins and bleed. After this give an 

 active purge, and when it begins to abate give 

 of white helebore from J to J of a drachm, and 

 IJ drachms of tartar emetic, with J a pint of 

 warm water, this should be repeated 2 or 3 

 times a day, according to the nature of the dis- 

 ease. For drink, give him warm water or gruel 

 as much as he will drink, and keep the back 

 and loins warm and comfortable.
