COLIC. 



In nine cases out of ten, colic is the result of 

 impaired digestive organs. The drinking of cold water 

 when the horse is heated is a very sure origin of 

 violent spasm in the horse. Hard water is very apt 

 to produce this effect. Colic will sometimes follow 

 the exposure of a horse to the cold air or a cold wind 

 after strong exercise. Green feed, although, generally 

 speaking, most beneficial to the horse, yet, given in 

 too large a quantity, or when he is hot, will frequently 

 produce gripes. Doses of aloes, both large and small, 

 ai'e not unfrequent causes of colio.
