The heavy rains of the first week of last
November we're of such a nature that up
wards of one hundred half-bred horses on
the Rancho del Paso caught cold from ex-
posure upon the low land thereabouts and

The symptoms are swollen glands about
the throat, so that il becomes difficult if
not impossible to swallow, and hence those
attacked succumb from weakness. This
disease, becoming epidemic next attacked
the natiye-born colts and FLIES lust emery
ing from weanhnghOod, and a large mum
