lie down, and without doing so commence to 

 paw again. As the symptoms increase, the ani- 

 mal cannot be kept on his feet, he frequently falls 

 as if shot ; pulse not altered from natural condi- 

 tion. Interrals of rest, together with the condi- 

 tion of the pulse, distinguish the disease from 

 inflammation of the bowels. 



Treat as follows : 



Frequent injections of soap and water, and 

 give inteiTially, spirits of nitre, 1 oz. ; laudanum, 

 1 oz. ; water, one-half pint; mix for drench. 

 This may be repeated in 20 minutes if relief is 

 not obtained. 



Another remedy, giving instant relief : 

 From 5 to 10 di'ops of chloroform, given on 

 sugar, I have never known to fail giving imme- 

 diate rehef. I have known men to be from home 

 and have their horses taken with this disease 

 and use this remedy, and in 30 minutes the horses 

 were able to be driven.
