Curing Collie in Horses.

A veterinarian writes us follows:
One of the most fruitful cases Of collie
is the too common habit of allowing
horses to partake of large draughts OF
water Immediately after finishing a
feed of oats. There is no surer way OF
generating an attack Of collie than this.
the reason being that, when a large
quantity of water is thus imbibed, it
has the effect of CARRYING with 1t out
Of the stomach and into the intestines
some of the freshly eaten grain. This
grain being still in raw and undi-
gested condition, its effect when 1t
reaches the intestines Is to give rise
to the irritation and Inflammation
which are the immediate causes Of
collie. In dealing with cases Of this
kind the most obvious course to adopt
is to take precautions to prevent the
animal from drinking large quantities
Of water in the circumstances just re-
ferred to. When an animal falls a
victim to an attack of collie, the best
thing to do is to administer dose
consisting Of one ounce Of sweet spirits
of inter along with half pint Of
whisky in some hot water. Very often
simple cases of collie yield to the ad-
ministratlon of couple Of ounces of
blcarbonate of soda, diluted with wa
ter and given MS soon rs the first
symptoms of the attack are noticed.
Should the administration Of the bi-
carbonate of soda fail to give the de-
sided relief no time should be lost In

probably sincere, their ideas work
more harm to the moral world than
those Of any two men livicg. I have
always found that when man be

loose on ethics"
DR.. Abbott strongly denies that he
is a hereto, or an infidel He also de.
lies that he is Pantheist, although
to the lay mind his language points
strongly in that direction. "The old
idea of God" he says, was that God
was over and above the world, related

This, apparently, would do away
with Christ as the medlator-the CEN

Dr. Abbott also sets the Bible aside
when he says that 1.-THE old idea Of d.

The doctor is wrong. however, when
he says that no one now believes in
