Pawing of the ground is common to both complaints, but 
in cases of entanglement of the gut, he desists from pawing. 
Both this and the preceding complaint are induced by 
various causes. But if symptoms similar to them are caused 
by eating green food in too large quantity, a different mode 
of treatment will be necessary. 
ENTANGLEMENT OF THE BOWELS. 
This is caused by colic, in consequence of the animal 
throwing himself about while suffering under the pain oi 
that complaint; portions of that intestine called the ileum 
become twisted and knotted, and drawn together with 
astonishing firmness. There is no remedy for this complaint. 
STONES IN THE INTESTINES. 
Horses that are subject to very frequent attacks of colic 
pains have usually stony masses in the caecum or colon. 
Sometimes they are some pounds weight. These, obstruct¬ 
ing the passage of the gut, produce colic pains ; and at 
other times, when exceedingly large, by pressing upon the 
mucous membrane, produce inflammation. But as yet no 
distinctly-marked symptoms have been detected by which 
their presence can be ascertained. Hitherto no certain mode 
of treatment has been discovered for their removal.
