 trachea; having exposed space sufficient, a circular 

 piece between two rings, corresponding to the size of 

 the tube, is to be cut out, and a short tube inserted, 

 which can be confined in position by means of tape 

 passed around the neck. When the obstruction is 

 removed, or the fances restored to their natural state, 

 remove the tube, bring the edges of the integuments 

 together, and sew them up." — Br. Dadd. 



PHYSICING. 



This is often necessary, but it has injured the con- 

 stitution and destroyed thousands of animals, when 

 unnecessarily or improperly resorted to. When the 

 horse comes from grass to dry feed, or from the open 

 air to the heated stable, and is becoming too fat, or 

 has surfeit, or grease, or mange, or is out of condition 

 from inactivity of the digestive organs, a dose of 

 physic is serviceable ; but the physicing of all horses, 

 and the too frequent method of exercising the animal 

 when under the operation of physic, cannot be too 

 <?trougly condemned.
