Indigestion.—However much man, in the sedentary walks of life, may be the subject of this disease, the horse with a task-master is comparatively free from it. Cases do occur, occasionally, in our large cities, where in too many cases the horse is left standing in the stable, twenty out of the twenty-four hours. Idleness begets indigestion, and indigestion begets crib-biting, or wind-sucking, and between them the poor horse looses flesh, condition and spirit. (See Crib-biting.) Treatment. Send the horse to pasture, and when he returns give him regular feed, and regular work to prevent a return of it. Infection.—(See Contagion-.).
