108 THE FARMER'S 



stages of this complaint are not marked by very 

 striking symptoms. The animal jias a dull,or lan- 

 guid appearance; and generally, a rough unheal- 

 thy coat and tight skin. The appetite is diminish- 

 ed, and at length he ceases to chew the cud. The 

 eyes and mouth have generally a yellow appear- 

 ance. 



" To cure this disease, it should be attacked at 

 an early period; for when the liver has become af- 

 fected in a consiberable degree,it terminates fatally. 

 Should there be any appearanoe of costiveness, 

 the folMwing warm laxative is first to be given; 

 more commonly, however, the bowels are in a loose 

 state, and the dung has an unhealthy appearance; 

 in this case, let the tonic drench be given morn- 

 ing and evening, and let the animal be kept in a 

 warm sheltered sit'iation. It may be necessary to 

 repeat, that tjiis, like most other internal diseases 

 of cattle, may generally be removed by timely at- 

 tention; but in attempting a cure after they have 

 existed some time, a great deal of unnecessary ex- 

 pence is often incurred.
