Some horses, although having a good appetite, remain gaunt and thin from Indigesfio7i. They should be given some strong purgative, like Barbadoes aloes, combined with powdered ginger, one-half ounce ; Glauber's salts, one-half pound, dissolved in a quart of water. When the intestines have been thoroughly cleaned by this process, give daily the following powder: Sulphate of iron, three drachms ; sul- phate of soda, two ounces ; nux vomica, ten grains ; ginger, one-half ounce. This powder may be continued daily for a month. Give all the rock salt the animal will lick. Spas?7iodic Colic begins suddenly. The horse stamps im- patiently, looks backward, soon paws, and then rolls. After an interval of ease the pains return with increased severity. Give chloral hydrate, one ounce, in half a pint of water as a drench ; or ether and laudanum, two ounces each, in lin- seed oil, half a pint ; or sulphuric ether and alcohol, two ounces of each in eight ounces of water. If nothing else is handy, give of whisky half a pint in hot water. If not re- lieved in one hour repeat any of the doses prescribed. The body should be warmly clothed and sweating encouraged. Dip blankets in hot water containing a small quantity of tur- pentine and hold them in place under the body with dry blankets, or rub the abdomen with stimulants or mustard water. If cramp is due to irritation in the bowels, a cure is not complete until a physic of aloes, one ounce, or linseed oil, one pint, is given. Soapy or salt water aid the cure when used as an injection. Wind Colic is caused by feeding after long fasting, or when the animal is exhausted l)y driving, or by new grain or hay, too much grain fed, or by sour or indigestible food. AILMENTS AND REMEDIES. 6l The horse seems dull, paws, and the pains are continuous. Th
