CONSTIPATION OR COSTIVENESS. 



This is easily overcome by giving 



Epsom Salts three ounces. 



Ginger one drachm. 



Mix in one pint of water and give at one dose. In young 

 lambs, a spoonful of Castor Oil is generally sufficient to 

 move the bowels. If the lamb does not do well and appears 

 stupid and dull, give a few spoonsful of hot whisky three 

 times a day. 



DIARRHOEA OR SCOURS IN LAMBS. 



Common diarrhoea or scours, manifests itself by cop- 

 iousness of fluidity of the evacuations. It is generally caused 

 by improper food, as bad hay or noxious weeds ; sudden 

 changes from dry food to fresh grass. Over-loading the 

 stomach. It is often produced by cold and wet.
