A peculiar case came under the no

recently. A valuable horse had been
staked near the shoulder with hook.
and Immediately began to swell all
over In an amazing manner The doc
tor found that from It's nose to It's
hoofs the horse had swollen to almost
twice its normal size. Apparently
wind had got In between the flesh and
the skin and blown II out like foot

capped with a hiss. The doctor says
