toms are plain enougli, tlie beast swells to an 

 enormous extent, the breathing is very laborious, 

 and the beast is threatened with su£&Gation froai 

 the pressure of the stomach on the lungs. Thy 

 animal is lost unless relief is soon obtained. 



Kemedy: — Belief is sometimes obtained from 

 motion and running the beast moderatel}''; some-- 

 times from placing tar, or a tar band into the 

 mouth; sometimes from taking salt and black 

 pepper and throwing it down the throat; somo 

 persons have run a lancet, or pocket knife, into 

 the animal, at the spot passing through the skin, 

 and^ the wall of the belly, so as to enter the 

 paunch; this should be done midway between 

 the last rib and the haunch bone. Another ex- 

 celent remedy is J oz. Cloride of Lime, put into 

 a pint or quart of warm water, and put into tho 

 stomach, these generally give immediate relief 

 There are other remedies, which generally give 

 relief; such as Lime water — also IJ ounces of 

 Hartshorn may be given, with 1^ pints of water, 

 or 1 ounce Sulphuric Ether in 1 pint of water. 

 The following is plain and simple, and gives re- 

 lief in a]most every case. This has been used 

 extensively, and always given satisfaction.
