The disease with the horse is analogous to the bad colds now prevalent among our peo- pleâaccompanied with sore-throat and lung- cough. As complete rest, warmth and light diet is the best treatment for human beings, who soon recover under fiivorable conditions; so the rational treatment is the best for the horse. Exercise with exposure to drafts of cold air, etc., and harsh treatment is likely to prove fatal. Kind, considerate treatment is always best, and in case of sickness is abso- lutely essential to perfect recovery. What a Veterinary Surgeon Says. Mr. T. H. Larcom, proprietor of the Good- enough horseshoeing establishment of San Jose, also a graduate from a veterinary school and whose opinion is worth something, says that a horse with the epizootic should be carefully blanketed, kept out of all drafts of winds, be fed lightly with good bay and car- rots or other vegetables, given no cold water, but all he will drink of water with the chill taken off or tepid water. A fire-shovel full of hot ashes from the stove is good to throw into the water once a day; in effect, it loosens the phlegm and false membrane, which accu- mulates in the throat, lungs aid stomaclj. A handful of scalded bran is also good to add to each bucket full of water the horse drinks. No other medicine is advised, if the bowles can be kept regular with bran mashes and vegetable or green green feed. Rest to a horse in this condition is requisite to a speedy cure. A little gentle exercise is all that should be allowed and by no means should fast driving or hard pulling be allowed, even for a short time.
