How to Prevent Disease.
The first principle in the treatment
of this disease consists in a total
change of feed and forage. Horses kept
in the stable should be fed with sound
forage and grain from an uncontami-
mated source even if such feed has tc
be brought from a distance. Horses
that have become affected While at
pasture should be removed from tbs
field in which they have been running.
The animals should be brought to tbs
barn or corral and fed wholesome
and clean feed and forage. The
water, unless from an unpolluteu
source. should likewise be changed.
At present this preventive treatment
is the only satisfactory method known
for checking the disease, as all medi-
cinaI remedies used have been unsatis-
factory in the vast majority of cases.
The first step is to empty the bowels
and remove the poisonous products, out
on account of the difficulty in swallow
ing an aloes ball or Glauber's salt is
hard to give. In fact no remedy should
be given by the mouth if the throat
is paralyzed as pneumonia is liable
to result Fifteen grains of barium
Chord injected into the jugular vein
or grains of eserin under the skin
if the animal is not too greatly de-
pressed, will usually act promptly.
Intestinal disinfectants such as Gallo
mel. saIicylic acid and creolin are also
used If much weakness is shown and
the temperature is below normal give
aromatic spirits of ammonia, digitalis
alcohol ether, or camphor. Rectal in
iections of warm water are good, and
warm blankets wrung out of hot water
may also be applied to the body. Sub
seouent treatment should consist of 2
grain doses of strichnine twice daily.
or a mixture of drains tincture nuX
vomica and one-half ounce of FoWlers
solution given at one dose, and re
heated three times daily, to combat the
effect of the poison upon the nervous
system.
