automobile cannot get through the

There is just one thing will insure safe

AILING ANIMALS 
Answered by Dr. A. S. Alexander 
Indigestion 
I purchased a horse about a year ago 
that appeared to be all right, and felt 
well, but after a day or two it held its 
ears back and appeared to lose all ambi¬ 
tion ; its evacuations became thin, with 
rumbling of the bowels, and it became 
very thin in flesh. Had the horse been 
fitted up on Fowler’s solution, or would 
that help the horse now? J. A. s. 
New York. 
The horse has chronic indigestion and 
no doubt was “doped” at time of sale, j 
Arsenic will not help. Have the teeth 
put in order and clip the coat if it is 
long and rough. Mix browned wheat j 
flour freely in the feed. If that does not 
suffice mix in each feed a tablespoonful | 
of a mixture of two parts of powdered 
wood charcoal and one part each of pow¬ 
dered alum, catechu and subnitrate of 
bismuth. If the horse has a long, weak, 
“washy coupling” he will always be likely 
to scours when warm or tired from work. 
Shoeboil 
Not long ago Dr. Alexander advised an 
operation for removal of shoeboil. Will 
he tell what is the usual fee for such an 
i operation? Is much subsequent attend¬ 
ance of a veterinarian necessary, or can 
the wound be to some extent cared for by 
home treatment? Is the trouble likely to 
occur after operation? What can be 
done, if so, to prevent it? We are some 
distance from a veterinarian ; would like 
to know possible expense. A. N\ 
Maine. 
There is no standard charge for such 
an operation, but we should estimate from 
•S5 to $15 as the fee. the latter to be 
charged when an anesthetic is adminis¬ 
tered and a dissecting operation per¬ 
formed. Some practitioners merely draw 
up the skin and base of the tumor to as 
small a bulk as possible by including in 
a noose of piano wire and pulling tight 
and then remove the tumor by means of • 
a red-hot, hatchet-shaped firing iron. This 
should of course only be done when the 
horse is under the influence of an ancs- t 
thetic. After treatment consists in apply* 
i ing two or three times daily a lotion com¬ 
posed of one ounce of sugar of lead and 
six drams of sulphate of zinc in a pint of 
soft water. Label the bottle “poison” 
and shake it avoII before use. The dis¬ 
secting operation greatly is to be pre¬ 
ferred if the surgeon is expert and can 
have the charge of the horse in his hos¬ 
pital during recovery. 
Catarrh 
If a horse shows signs of beginning to 
have glanders is there any known remedy 
to ward it off or prevent it altogether? 
After he has been traveling for a time 
at a good pace a slight whitish and some¬ 
what foamy discharge manifests itself in 
either one or both nostrils; otherwise it 
neA'er shows. At times he Avill stretch 
his head forward and sort of curl up his 
upper lip. showing the teeth. H. P. p. 
Ncav Jersey. 
There is no known preventive or cure 
for glanders, but its presence may be 
determined by having the mullein test 
applied by a qualified veterinarian. The 
symptoms you describe are much more 
indicative of hea\ T es than of glanders, or 
may simply indicate simple catarrh. An 
experienced veterinarian should be em¬ 
ployed to make the necessary examina¬ 
tion. 
Vomiting 
I have a pet cat that does not seem to 
thrive very well. He is thin, though he 
lias a good appetite, and lives principally 
on liver and potato hash. He eats grass 
like a dog. This seems to make him 
throw off from his stomach what he has 
eaten. This seems to help him for a few 
days. Is it Avorms? If so. what is the 
remedy? F. H. h. 
Maine. 
Indigestion is present and the feeding 
of liver and potatoes should be discon¬ 
tinued. Feed raw meat once daily. If 
the trouble continues worms may he the 
cause, in which case starve the cat for 
twenty-four hours and theu give one to 
three grains of santonin, according to age 
and size of animal, and folloAV Avith a dose 
of castor oil iu half an hour. 
Lame Mare 
My mare, about 16 years old, became 
lame during last Winter; her hind legs 
and hips got stiffened up and seem to be 
sore when I touch the afflicted part. I 
can hitch her up and drive her about three 
miles, and she limiters up and appears to 
be all right, but the next morning she is 
as sore as ever. What ails her, and hoAV 
treat it? B. E. G. 
Ncav York. 
Allow the mare a roomy box stall on a 
dry floor iu a well-ventilated stable. Do 
not keep her in a basement stable or any 
damp place, as she seems to he troubled 
with rheumatism. If the trouble persist®, 
give her two drams of salicylate of soda 
in her feed tAvice daily, and if necessary 
increase to three such doses a day. Dram 
doses of salol would be even better, but 
this drug is very expensive at present.
