2i6 Veterinary Medicine. 



With the advent of expectoration, or earher, iodide of potasium 

 in one drachm dose, thrice a day will do much to obviate gland- 

 ular and other enlargement which would tend to develop roaring. 



The diet should be laxative, non-stimulating and somewhat 

 spare. Mashes of wheat bran, boiled linseed or boiled barley ; 

 roots such as turnips, carrots, beets ; in summer a limited supply 

 of fresh grass, with a little hay at any time and that scalded, may 

 indicate the nature of the aliments to be used. As a beverage 

 chilled fresh water or linseed tea may be supplied ad libitum. 



Should the nasal discharge manifest no disposition to cease at 

 the end of 15 or 20 days, as will sometimes happen in young 

 horses, stimulants and tonics must be employed. Gentian (4 

 drachms), Sulphate of iron (2 drachms), Arsenious acid (5 to 10 

 grains) or nux vomica (i scruple) may be given daily as ball, 

 electuary or powder. A full and nutritive diet should at the 

 same time be allowed, and open air exercise enjoined.
