THE VETERINARY SCIENCE 
The animal cannot reach down to the ground. The eyes have 
a peculiar look and seem to be turned back in the head and 
set. In some cases the animal can eat, while in other cases 
it cannot, according to how much the muscles of the jaws arc 
affected. 
Treatment. — This is one of the diseases that does not 
require much medicine because giving the medicine excites 
and does more harm than good, and, anyway, medicine does 
not seem to do any good this disease. Give the following • 
Epsom Salts , 1 pound. 
Bicarbonate of Soda 1 dessertspoonful. 
Ginger 1 dessertspoonful. 
Fluid Extract of Belladonna....! dram or 1 teaspoonful. 
Mix in a quart of lukewarm water and give as a drench 
once a week. Keep the animal perfectly quiet and free fron. 
noise. Give food made into gruel, so that it can drink it 
down. If caused from a wound, bathe th« wound twice a da} 
and fill the opening with green salve. If possible poultice ii 
every night with linseed meal. This disease generally takes 
three or four weeks to run its course, and if you can keep the 
animal's strength up till then it will pass away, while ii 
severe cases they die in a week or so.
