Another Horse Epidemic.

A disease not unlike diphtheria is
quite prevalent among the horses in the
vicinity. The disease first attacks the
throat, causing inflammation of the
larynx and prevents the animal from
swallowing, thereby causing death from
starvation. A post-mortem examina-
ton of an animal that died from this
disease reveals large illusions of lymph
in the air passages, particularly SUI
rounding the larynx. The symptom of
this disease is a running Of frothy mu-
Gus from the nostrils, and drooling from
the mouth; general debility, resulting
from non-nutrition. Ths veterinary
surgeons say that the only remedy for
the disease is the operation Of the
esophagotomy, oil making an incision
in the Gsophagus and inserting a tube
through which the food would pass into
the stomach. Some practitioners say a
tube can be passed into the nostrils to
onnec with the stomach, but it is u
difficult operation, and is not attended
with success two times out Of ten. As
a remedy, chlorate of potassia, in solu.
ton, to drink, is considered the best in
the first stages; blisters are then APP
piled as counter-irritants; and then
when symptoms of paralysis appear
small doses of strychnia are given.
Within the past few days several horses
at the West End and in the Highlands
have died from the disease Boston
