part after it has been applied with
several thicknesses Of paper or other

THE VETERINARIAN.
Colo in Horses.

Perhaps the most frequent and
fatal affection to which the horse is
liable, especially at this season of
the year, are the various forms of
collie; and As very few have any
definite idea of the nature or proper
treatment of such troubles, it NAV
prove interesting to make a some
what hasty review of the subject.
The term collie simply implies a
pain in the abdomen; it has no
reference to the nature of the pain.
nor does it indicate any particular
treatment. To have any success in
the treatment of COLES, it is a mat
ter of necessity for us to discover
the cause of the pain; and, to
bring this within the powers of all
intelligent readers, is one of the
leading objects of this paper. Let
us then, on the start, free ourselves
from the very prevalent notion that
collie is always the same disease, or
that a treatment successful in one
case will necessarily prove equally
so in another. By long study and
observation, we know that collie
may be caused by indigestion, with
or without undue formation of gas,

For the Mule.

We have been told that the best
horse on a farm is the mule. To
this doctrine we subscribe in full.
There never was Il WOrSe mlsrepre-
sentcd or more abused animal than
the mule-barrlng some eccentric
tiles that nature seems to have en-
dowed him with. When you get
down to business-hard. unremit-
ting, never ending, work; when you
have got heavy loads to pull through
sticky mud, where it is necessary
the pullers should stretch them
selves against dead load-pull the
very life out of themselves, even If
the load never stirs, no jumping
and rearing, no plunglng or ner-
vous action, but just an honest,
hard effort to do all that is in him
commend us to the humble mule.
There is nothing deceitful about
this long-eared gentleman. He is
in favor of fair play no flank
movements on him. His rear is
sacred soil, and he allows no tres
pass ia that direction; depressing
the banners on his head is fair
warning before he strikes. 1t is
true that if abused, he will get even
if he has to wait through long pa
tent years to get a good square
kick at YOU. This you should have
known at first.
How is it with the horse? Put
two of them to the wagon and drive
to & field for a load Of corn. Load
up until the wheels settle in the
mud, and how are you to get out !?
First, a tolerably fair pull is made
at it; then begins the see-sawing,
first one and then the other at the
traces, ending in rearing and plung-
ing, accompanied by showers of
profanity and a general breaking
up all round.
Put mules in that wagon. and
something has got to come. If the
first pull does not bring it, give
them a little rest to gather up their
energies and look out for a steady
pull that will make things crack.
A mules temper is adapted to
this kind of work. He is slow,
stubborn and determined, 50 that
when he does make up his mind to
do a thing he is sure to do it. He
is not only a good puller but a good
stopper. When he is tired he is
going to rest, and YOU might as
well let him do it. Turn him out
and let him have a good roll, and
he IS as fresh rs ever. His body
rarely tires-he only wants a little
mental diversion. He is liable to
scare on the road, and sometimes
makes up his mind 20 run away.
Then look out, for he is sure to
make a tirst-class job Of it.
SO much for his good and bad
points. His virtues are his saving
qualities. He is no hypocrite-his
vices are IN all mems mouths. How
is it with mans idol-the horses 1t
requires long and patient teaching
to make him d reliable puller he
has more ills than wars of women
have )" delightful to our venture
some youth, a terror to our old age:
mans best friend, yet man dare not
trust him. Humble, hungry and
t~rifing when he is thin of flesh and
hard worked. When fat. cold and
impatient, he is a f fearful animal to
drive him after dark. A mind
more susceptible to varying sur
rounding than a young girls. he
will behave himself fifteen years to
get your whole family in the car
rlage and run away with them.
Give Us the mule every time.

A DEBATABLE QUESTION.

/ While much has been written concerning
the use of put up" medicines, the queS-
lion is still an open one, and demands of the
people careful consideration. The salient
points may be briefly stated and answered
as 70 lows: lst--Are the sick capable of
determining their real condition, the nature
of their malady, and selecting the proper
remedy or means Of cure? 2d--Can ply
stefan, no matter how skillful, prepare
universal remedy, adapted to the peculiar
ailments of a large class of people, resi-
ding in different ATTITUDES, and subject TO
climatic influences? In answer to the first
proposition we would say that diseases are
known by certain signs" or symptoms,
and, as a mother does not need physician
to tell her that her child has the whooping-
cough, or indicate remedy, so people when
afflicted with many of the symptoms con-
comitant to 'timpurc blood" torpid liver
and dad digestion" require 70 other
knowledge Of their cendi ion, or the RENE
dy indicated, than they already possess
Second Proposition Many physicians argue
that diseases are sectionaliy peculiar,
and that their treatment must therefore
vary an yet quinine, morphine, podophyl-
lin, and hundreds of other remedies are pre-
scrfbed IN al countries TO overcome GER
tain conditions. Is it not, therefore, SELF
evident that physi ian whose large expe-
rience has made him amiiar with the
many phases incident TO all Impurities Of
blood, general and nervous debility lrer
complaint, dyspepsia, consumption, and
cato'1h, can prepare series of remedies
exactly adapted to meet the conditions man
ifest. wherever and by whatever means, it
may have been engend, rcd? The family
medicines prepared by R V. Pierce, N. d.,
Of Duffa'o, n. Y, fu fill the above require
ments. Many phys clans prescribe them in
their practice. His Golden Medical Dis
covery has no equal as blood purifier and
general tonic, while his Favorite Prescrip-
ton cures those weaknesses peculiar to wo-
men, after physicians have tailed. His
Pleasant Purgaiive Pellets, which are sugar
coated and little larger than mustard seeds,
are sale and certain cure for torpid" liv-
er and constipation. If you wish 10 save

e. And now it is doctored
tobacco--tobacco artifieially color
ed from which to manufacture the
dark tinted cigarssopopular among
smokers--that is doing the mis-
chief. A St. Louis physician has
discovered that the great prevail
ence Of lip and throat diseases in
his medical beat among gentlemen
addicted to the weed is owing to
their smoking dark instead of
light cigars. A little investiga
ton developed the fact that this
color is in most cases purely ar
ti6cial, and is produced by the
use of poisonous coloring matter.
1t is well, therefore, for our smo-
king readers who are afflicted
with sore lips or threats, or don't
wish to be, to coriine themselves
to the incarceration of medium or
light shades of the weed, or leave
of the habit entirely.
