and there is great weakness, emaciation and general de- 

 bility. The duration of this disease, varies from a few 

 days to months and even years. In some cases, it may 

 develop to an alarming extent within a few hours, while 

 in other cases the disease comes on slowly. 



TREATMENT:— Diabetes is generally considered 

 incurable, but this is not always the case; as a small per- 

 centage of the ^ cases can be cured. But this percentage 

 is so small and the treatment so expensive, that we do not 

 recommend it for general use. To deny the animal water 

 whic'i it so greatly desires, does not mitigate the ailment. 

 The water must be pure ; nutritious food and plenty of it, 

 is an important factor. The horse should have absolute 

 quiet and rest. Our

DIARRHOEA. 



Diarrhoea is the frequent discharge of fluid or semi- 

 fluid excrement or dung; caused by some irritant in the 

 bowels, which does not pass freely away. 



SYMPTOMS: — The symptoms of diarrhoea are to 

 well known to need repetition; but cases vary greatly, not 

 only m the kind of fluid evacuations, but in their amount 

 and frequency. A diarrhoea from over-eating, may be 

 harmless or even beneficial, in relieving an overtaxed di- 

 gestive system. Again, a profuse diarrhoea may be ex- 

 hausting enough to hasten fatal issue. Colicky pains 

 and cramps almost always accompany diarrhoea, attended 

 by profuse watery discharge.
