KIDNEYS, DISBARS! OF. 



engraving below, is not peculiar to any one disorder of the kidneys more 

 than to another, but when it is seen it is always the result of some disorder 

 of the Iddneys. 



Graybl. — Calculi, stony or gritty 

 matter formed in the kidneys, which 

 passes off in the urine. It causes some 

 irregularity in making water. 



Treatmeut. — Give thirty-flve drops 

 of muriatic acid, in a pailful of water 

 to drink, and repeat twice a week. 



Bloody urine should be treated by 

 placing warm water cloths over the 

 back, above the kidmeys, and giving- 

 flaxseed tea to drink, which will soothe 

 the parts. When old horses are 

 troubled with kidn^ diseases they can 

 be helped a great deal by giving soft 

 feed, such as boiled or steamed feed, or 

 newly cut grass, with flaxseed tea and

Inflammation of the Biaddbk. — Symptoms almost the same as those 

 of inflammation of the kidneys. The tenderness is found when the horse is 

 pressed upon under the flanks. 



Treatment about the same as for inflammation of the kidneys, which

 of the kidneys. 



Inflammation of the Kidneys is 

 caused by poor provender, hard work, slip- 

 ping, taking a sudden cold after a hard 

 day's work or drive, or after being under 

 the saddle for a long time; and also, by 

 an indiscriminate use of nitie or other 

 diuretics.

 breathing, suggestive of pain ; more or 

 less fever, with quick, hard pulse; im will- 

 ingness to move the hind legS^whioh the
