The clothing should be moderately warm, and 

 the patient should have frequent gentle exercise. 



The diet should be warm mashes of bran, with 

 a few oats ; or warm water -gruel, and a little 

 good hay. 



But we frequently find when horses have often 

 been affected with cold, that there will continue to 

 be a discharge from the nostrils, of a thick yellow 

 or whitish matter, resembling pus, attended with 

 frequent coughing, which often continues a long 

 time ; and, if not removed, is productive of very 

 disagreeable consequences, by causing diseases 

 which are incurable. 



For the removal of this discharge and cough, a 

 continuation of the folio win cr medicine will be 

 found very efficacious : 



Take crude antimony in very fine powder, 

 one pound ; grains of paradise, two ounces; 

 nitre, half a pound : mix them well to- 

 gether.
