IIOilXED CATTLE. 15 



pown, getting up again, strikes at his belly 

 with his hind feet. The bowels obstinately 

 constipated ; dungs in small quantities, hard, 

 covered with mucus at times, streaked with 

 blood — the urine is generally voided with diffi- 

 culty and heaving at the flanks, accompanied 

 with fever, becomes fearfully weak and staggers 

 as he walks, he leaves his company, hides him- 

 self under hedges, &c. Becomes deaf, he trem- 

 bles all over, his skin is hot, back and loins ten- 

 der, ears and horns hot, indicating the highest 

 degree of general fever. 



. Eemedy: — The first thing to be done and that 

 which admits of no delay, is to bfeed profusely. 

 Next, purge freely; continue the purging medi- 

 cines until the bowels are freely opened, then les- 

 sen the doses so as to keep the bowels open. In 

 severe cases you must give injections until the 

 medicines operate freely. This is a very dan- 

 gerous disease and the course pursued must be 

 decisive, or the beast is lost ! The only hope 

 you have after bleeding, is in physicing; you 

 should by all means clyster largely and in great 

 quantities, the epsom salts and castor oil will 

 do no harm; thin gruel is very good! Let these 

 hints suffice.
