 ful to the touch, and the animal has his legs widelj sepa- 

 rated.

The animal must be debarred from food till the violence 

 of the disease is abated,i»and then it ought to be sparingly 

 given for some time. Cold bran mashes, carrots, and a 

 little sweet hay may be given. After a day or two, if all 

 goes on favorably, a few oats may be allowed ; cold soft 

 water, frequently refreshed, should be constantly kept 

 within reach of the horse. 



If the legs are cold, they must be rubbed with the hands, 

 and flannel bandages applied ; the usual practice is to use 

 straw or hay bands, but these are too cumbrous, and fre- 

 quently irritate the animal, and consequently do more 

 harm than good,
