ANJEMIA. 



In this complaint the blood is poor in quality, and the animal is 

 in a low condition, resulting from bad . feeding. Animals thus af- 

 fected have a feeble, but rapid pulse, are easily excited, and there is 

 an emaciated and generally weak condition. The appetite is changer 

 able, indigestion and pains are frequently present, the extremities 

 are always cold, and constipation often sets in. The blood must be 

 converted into a healthy condition, and then tonics may bej given, 

 with a diet of the most nutritious character, and careful attention to 

 sanitary conditions. 



FILES.. 



Piles are seldom discovered in swine before the disorder has so far 

 advanced that blood passes off with the excrements, and it is gener- 

 ally considered incurable. The main treatment consists in an entire 

 change'of food. Sour milk, with light digestible substances, should 

 be fed, with injections of vinegar and water, or, when there is con- 

 siderable pain, of Oily substances, and the internal administration of 

 castor-oil, or sulphur with cream of tartar. Laudanum may be added, 

 which will relieve the pain earlier.
