FRATTS POINTERS ON THE HORSE 165 



allow about a pint to flow ; but if the blood appears black 

 and thick, no blood should be drawn. The steam bag, 

 as given on page 127, is an excellent remedy. 



We feel confident that a horse properly cared for 

 and fed Pratts Food, Pratts Animal Regulator or Pratts 

 Condition Powder regularly will be in excellent con- 

 dition and not liable to an attack of this disease. We 

 have known of many cases cured with these remedies 

 only. The usual dose should be given at once, the horse 

 blanketed and kept warm, and the throat, chest and lungs 

 rubbed with Pratts Veterinary Liniment. As the horse 

 recovers, he'will be likely to lie down. A nourishing 

 diet should be observed and Pratts Remedies continued. 



At the same time, as per our note on page 119, to 

 give another remedy, we mention the following, to be 

 given in one dose four times daily : Two fluid ounces of 

 sulphuric ether ; twenty drops of tincture of aconite. 

 Then rub up one drachm of extract of belladonna in a 

 half-pint of water, and mix well. 



POISONING. 



Poison often occurs from the use of improper drugs, 

 or inexperienced persons prescribing for the horse. 



The horse has no desire to eat, but is very thirsty.
