Korses are often attacked with a difficulty 

 in staling or making water, sometimes amount-

 neck of the bladder, or from hardened excre- 

 ment in the rectum or latter part of the intes- 

 tines.

 carefully removed by the hand, and a common 

 clyster ; and if the horse happen to be costive, 

 give the following laxative ; 



Barbadoes aloes, in powder, 2 dr. 

 Prepared kah, - - 'dr. 



Water, - - - 6 oz. 



Castor oil, - - - 4 oz. 



To be given as a drink. 



Should the disease continue, give the fol- 

 lowing bail; or if the horse be not costive, let 

 it be given at first : 



Nitre, - - - 1 oz. 



Camphor, - - - 2 dr.
