Remark — The flatulent, or spasmodic cho- 

 lie, must be carefully distinguished from the 

 inflammatory, and from that which depends 

 upon costiveness. It is always necessary to 

 empty the bowels by means of glysters ; 

 and, should the horse have appeared dull 

 and heavy, previous to the attack, it will 

 be adviseable to bleed. If costiveness at» 

 tends it, give a laxative drench after the 

 paroxysm, which will prevent its return. 



Those who travel with crib-biting horses, 

 or one that is often attacked with this com- 

 plamt, should always have a remedy at hand, 

 for which purpose No. 4. is recommended.
