PRATTS POINTERS ON THE HORSE 173 



nied by a jerky movement and a grunting noise. The 

 water the horse drinks will sometimes return through 

 the nostrils. The horse should be blanketed, stable 

 warm and well ventilated, and soft foods given, the 

 throat, chest and lungs rubbed with Pratts Veterinary 

 Liniment until it blisters thoroughly. There may be 

 occasion to repeat the blistering. 



There is nothing more valuable than Pratts Food, 

 Pratts Animal Regulator or Pratts Condition Powder. 

 A double dose in gruel form should be given immedi- 

 ately. Then the regular quantity mixed with each feed, 

 gradually reducing until the bowels are easy and natural. 



However, as per our note on page 119, to give an- 

 other remedy, we mention the following, to be given in 

 one dose : Half a fluid ounce of essence of anise ; one 

 drachm of pulverized aloes ; mixed in a pint of water. 

 Should there be no improvement, prepare the following : 

 One ounce of chlorate of potassa, mixed in two quarts of 

 water, and pour about half a pint into the horse's mouth, 

 holding up his head for half a minute, and then permit 

 the head to drop and the fluid to run out. Repeat half 

 a dozen times a day.
