HORSE DISEASES
Ir,on,inued from last rr,ao,,

Continued from last Friday.)
Diarrhoea and Constipation are two
decidedly opposite conditions of the
bowels of the horse and yet both
largely due to the feed and care; the
f,rst is due in the main to feeding
y. motldy. musty and defective food.
.taenant water, poor condition Of the
teeth. irritating medicines or sub
frances. worms, low wet pastures,
aa,np and unsanitary stables, exposure
IN weather. etc. while constipation is
generally the result of feeding dry in
nutritious food lack Of intestinal Sc
cretions, short water supply, want of
exercise, etc. For the latter the proper
treatment would be light physic,
hran mashes, sloppy foods, linseed or
haxseed tea, plenty Of fresh water. a
Gait brick in the manager and exercise.
a tonic or condition powder may be
given with good results. while for
diarrhoea, the treatment is equally
simple: food or water is at fault, cor
rect at once: give good digestible food
and fresh pure water; if from intesti-
nal irritation, linseed oil purge; If from
worms get rid of them. If the case
does not readily yield to these sug-
eestions brown wheat -four in the
oven and gice in a cruel, put wheat
-four in all the drinking water, give
white oak bark tea as an astringent;
n your efforts along these lines fail
n overcome the trouble call Veteri-
nary: he. should be able to overcome
the trouble though in most instances
Won will not require him if you use
Judgment and care in feeding.
Enteritis is an Inflammation of the
membraneOus lining of the bowels;
the lining of the nose, eyes and
mouth are redeemed by congestion,
mise is hard, and rapid, temperature
rises rapidly 10 1902 or 105 degrees,
colicky pains, and symptoms, lies
down, carefully, however, turning up
on his back against the partition or
stall; thirst also a prominent feature.
When you are at a loss to know the
real trouble with your horse, and you
note these symptoms, you may feel
assured of a case OF E,nteritis and you
should get your veterinary as soon
as possible, in the meantime, giving
some of the we'll Known Collie Rem
edies. which are so easily obtained, APP
NV hot blankets to the belly and
brisk. stimulating liniment to abdo-
men.
Apoplexy of the large bowel is an
other intestinal trouble causing much
concern to horse owners. The horse
has weak pulse, perspires extremely.
breathes rapidly and shows signs of
great and continuous pains. with an
anxious expression to the eye. If not
relieved the animal breathes hard,
staggers, falls and dies in from ten to
twelve hours. This i'll much resembles
collie in its symptoms. Send for your
veterinary at once and do your utmost
until he arrives to give comfort and
relief Give white bark tea in liberal
quantity some of the Collie Remedies
now so popular, hot blankets to the
abdomen. A good liniment of stimu-
lating nature to legs.
