RECIPE FOR TREATMENT.
In answer to letter of inquiry il
regard to the treatment of sick horses
MI. John D.. Stewart has received !,
letter from Mr. Charles w. Bellows
of New York, giving some plain ant
apparently practical directions which
he has successfully employed, as fol
lows:
'Our treatment is as follows: Take
the feed from the horses on the frs
appearance of the disease and thef
blanket them Give them warn
mash, and if they refuse to eat that
then put few oats with the mash, an(
every four hours give ten drops Of
aconite and belladonna alternately
Rub the glands with equal parts O.
ammonium and arnica. Some use mus
tard; both are good I keep the nos
trils sponged whenever they need it
Fifit.is every fifteen minutes. l NEAR
by taking the feed away from them,
the oats and hay If ! give any hay
at all, wet it. You ask if mules art
affected: I have seen qcite number
bat they do not labor so hard under
the complaint as horses"
Mr. Price the welLknowm livery-stab,.f
keeper, kindly affords us, for the in
formation Of our. readers, notes of the
remedies used by the Adams Express
Company for the cure of their stock.
Some of the best veterinary surgeons
in the United States are in the employ
of this. company, and, after careful ex
pertinent, the value of certain receits
were fully demonstrated, and have beer
forwarded from New York to the boss
es Of their stables throughout the in
fected section. These remedies are
simple and within reach of all.
L. The regular diet should be con.
fined to ''Thurston's Compound Food
for Cattle, which, as wifi be seen by
advertisement, can be obtained at the
store of b. W. Roed & Sons, on
street.
2. For bathing the throat ana neck
TO tn, shoulders use either Walker
white oil liniment OF carbolic soap.
3. Give the animal carrots, apples
or potatoes twice a day.
4. In desperate cases take two drains
of ammonia, one ounce of sugar, and
six ounces Of water; mix throughly and
divide the same into two parts, each
part to be pat in three-fourths of 8
bucket of water and given to the an
imal twice a day. = s
