water this revulsion from the stom.
ach to the lamina of the hooEs seldom
occurs to an injurious degree. This
brief explanation indicates the pro.
pricty of bleeding, and letting a re.
Gently foundcred horse stand in
q stream Of water to cool his feet.
Give him rest and physic. Proper
feeding implies the use of neither
too much nor too little grain, and
due proportion Of hay, corn.bladcs,
shncks, straw, pcavincs, or other
forage, which better be cut before it
is consumed. If this forage is
sound, bright, and was harvested at
the right time, less grain will suffice
to keep horses in good condition.
Where ona has neither hay, nor
blades, nor ", much care should
be had less h. ,..ly nutritivc food, like
corn, produce eruptions on the
skin, nlargemcnt of the liver yel
low water, and other maladics. If
no other bulky forage, can be had,
horses should have brows with their
grain to aid in distcnding the stom.
ach and intestines; for bulk is an i'm.
portant element in healthy digestion.
Chambers and Farcy have com.
mon origin, the vitiatcd state of the
blood, and are regarded as only diff.
ferent stages of progressive diso.-
der. As induced by insufficient or
bad food, farcy as usually appears
first, and may continue some time
before any SYMPTOMS of glanders pre-
sent themselves. Farcy is charac.
terizcd as an unhealthy inflammation
of the absorbent vessels and glands,
which become swollen from the depo.
sition of lymph, and soon ulcerate
I.and discharge matter of a morbid and
varying character. The poison from
farcy.buds is carried in the blood to
all parts Of the body, and under ia.
,yorable circumstances, rapidly produ
cesitself. Tubercles are formed in
.alIthe Emphatic glands and in the
substance of the lungs. Ulcerations
appear on, the mucous membrane of
tho nostrils, which is attacked on ac.
count of its high vascularity. Those
parts first under disintegration which
require for their healthy existence

strength or fecbleness of the consti.
tuition, and the virulcncc of the NAL.
ady. Whatever impairs the general
health, or in any way vitiates the
integrity of the system, may be re-
gardcd as cause of glandcrs. It
follows colds, inauenzas, diabetes, and
perhaps all other debilita;ing affec-
tions incident to bad shelters, over.
work, and insufficient food. Like all
other diseases that mark the prcma.
turc loss of vital power, farcy and
glanders are much easier prevented
than cured. When from any cause
the glands, mucous or scrous mem.
brancs Of IN animal become inGamed,
while its general health and constitu.
ton are yet unimpaircd, the purulcnt,
or aqueous sccretions that may cnsue,

serve to work off the inhammatory
action, which results in speedy and
perfect recovery. 10 maintain the

mails of any value, is an object Of
Importance; for the principal applies
to persons as we'll as to beasts and
birds. Proper care and protection,
avoiding all extremes, and unneces.
sary exposure, and feeding regularly,
that the system may never be surfeit.
cd by an excess of nutrient matter
in the digestive and assimilatcd or.
gans, and never weakened by def
cheney of the same, are the cardinal
points in animal physiology to be kept
constantly in view. All infected an.
imals should be removed from those
still undiscascd, lest the cxhala,ion
from the former and perhaps direct
contact, communicate the distcmpcr
to the latter.
