 avoid all danger, it is advisable, the momenta 

 horse is perceived to have a discharge from 

 his nose, to put him into a stable where he 

 can have no communication with other horse.

 steam the head three or four times a day, let the 

 horse be well clothed, particularly about the 

 head, and give the fever powder No. 2 every
