13. Are emaciated and lazy. 
14. The hair on the neck (mane) falls out easily. 
15. Such horses give off an offensive smell. 
This all comes to pass in three ways: 
1st. The discharge comes from the brain. 
2d. The animal has chronic disease of the throat. 
3d. One horse can infect others. 
That from the brain is due to a superfluous amount of mois¬ 
ture in that organ, which causes a corruption. This discharge is 
white and cold; if it is yellow the case is worse and incurable. 
Chronic pharyngitis also comes with the disease. 
Treatment. —Bleed, but not too much, to be again repeated 
the following day.

D. S.—Mix well together, and give the horse this dose eacli 
day for four consecutive days. 
Care .—Such horses must be strictly separated from others, in 
a moderate temperature, and as the material which collects in the 
brain is of a cold nature, they must have warm and dispersing 
feed and drinks. 
The daily drink of such horses should consist of:
