THE TREATMENT,
There seems to be no settled or uni.
form method of treatment. and every
man has to select from contradictory ad.
vice whatever his own common sense
dictates as efficacious. Among the rem.
edies that we have heard suggested are
the rubbing of the throat thoroughly
and constantly with turpentine, frequent
doses of tar given with the food, the free
use of mustard plasters, the moderate
use OF sulphur and other fumigants and
there are many other things suggested
by empires and quacks who are always
delighted with chance to display their
skill on creatures who cannot express
their disgust of quackery, and can only
patiently submit to what is inflicted up
on them; but we have only named those
that have been proved to be of value in
the treatment of this and diseases of like
character. 1t is also necessary to be
very careful with the horses when con-
valescent, and to guard them against get
ting wet or the dangers of cold, as the
history of disease in other places shows
that relapses almost invariably end ia
tally.
Below we hear from the following
places

branches OF business by the horse mala-
dy is immense. The express companies

the Erie Canal, particularly between
this city and Buffalo, are very discour-
aging, and many boats have been tied
up, and nearly every craft has sick horses
and many have arrived with dead horses
on board. Towing companies advertise
that they will furnish horses as far as
possible, but will not be responsible for
any lack of service from them. Some
of the Baggage Delivery Companies are
delivering baggage by means of hand
cars run on the street railway tracks.
The Mayor of Poughkeepsie offers to
send 100 or more yoke of oxen here in
case their services are deemed necessary
