WHAT TO DO. 
In case the trouble be in the kidneys or ureters there is 
but little that can be done, aside from the administration 
of medicaments to relax the walls of the ureters and to re- 
lieve the pain. The fo'lowing will prove efficacious:

In case the calculus be in the bladder or urethra it can 
be removed by crushing it with forceps made for the pur- 
pose, and when crushed the bladder ‘should be washed out 
thoroughly. For several days after this operajion put a 
tablespoonful of bi-carbonate of soda in daily allowance of 
water. 
Foul Sheath. 
The sheath of most horses at times becomes foul and 
needs cleaning. The glands in the region of penis secrete 
a fluid, which lubricates the parts, and it is sometimes se- 
creted in excessive quantities, and the result is an aceum- 
ulation of a black gummy substrance in the sheath which 
should be removed. 
WHAT TO DO. 
Wash out the sheath thoroughly with warm water and 
castile soap, then dry the parts with a soft clean towel and 
depend upon nature to do the rest- Never put grease or 
oil in a sheath for they hold dust and trash thus making 
bad matters worse.
