Suffering Horses.

Dyspepsia or Indigestion in horses is OF
frequent occurrence and arises from varle-
" Of causes. some of which are of fatal ma
ture Indigestion frequently results from
diseased kidneys. heart or brain but perhaps
more generally from disordered stomach
or liver. The usual symptoms are licking
cold substances, especially those containing
lime Ike white-washed walls. The ami
nal suffers from fatuency and perspires on
slight exerton. This gastric disorder often
gives rise to crib biting and wind sucking,
which greatly aggravates dyspepsia. In
treating this complaint the proper regulation
of food and feeding is essential. Give only
such as is of the best quality and do not
feed in too large quantities.
BE careful to feed punctually at just such
an hour every day. Three or four times
daily is sufficient When it is necessary to
resort to drugs, an alkal should be given be-
fore feeding and acid after each meal Pro-
baby the best and certainly the most con-
yenient alkali is bicarbonate Of soda or pure
saleratus. Dissolve dessert spoonful of
the above in half-pint of water, add it to
four quarts Of cold water and give the pa
tient a drink before each meal, feeding
three times day. After eating each meal
give dessert spoonful of diluted hitromu-
rattle acid in two or three quarts of water.
If more convenient, two teaspoonsful Of
strong, pure cider vinegar may be used in
stead Of the above named acid. Follow
this treatment for week, then omit a few
DAYS and if necessary, repeat. Animals
which have regular work are less subject to
indigestion than those standing idle in the
stable.
