98 THE FARMER'S 



a turbulent kind of madness; the eyes appear much 

 inflamed and ready to start from the orbits; the 

 beast falls down of a sudden, and rises again with 

 the same volatility, until nature is quite exhausted; 

 a constant trembling and starting of the tendons; 

 a dry and harsh skin; a suppression of the urine; 

 grinding of the teeth and a total want of rest; these 

 last are unfavorable symptoms. 



The cause of this disorder is found in too great 

 an efflux of blood pressing on the temporal arteries; 

 ftom which an increased action takes place; wounds 

 or contusions on the head; suppressions of the nat- 

 ural evacuations. 



The cure should be sought by bleeding freely, 

 according to the violence of the symptoms and the 

 strength of the animal, in the jugular vein; keep 

 the bowels open with caster oil, and other purg- 

 ing medicines. Blister the side of the neck with 

 flies and spirits of turpentine. 



From what has been said of the treatment of dis- 

 eases, caused by inflammation of the internal or- 

 gans of the body, it will be seen that they are all of 

 a dangerous nature, and require the earliest atten- 

 tion; that they are generally the consequence of 

 improper management or neglect, and may there- 

 fore, most commonly be prevented; and that the 

 most essential remedy is early and copious bleed- 

 ing, with laxative medicine.
