Horses; Horses; Horseshoeing; Chevaux; Chevaux; Marechalerie. 10 FIllST STAGES OF FLATULENT COLIC. soon as the Ibelly swells the pawing commences, although it is not so vio lent as in spasmodic colic. There is but little rolling or kicking at the belly as in spasmodic colic, and the horse is not inclined to move about much. After from one to four days the belly becomes much in- creased in size (if the disease is not checked), and the animal becomes testless. Treatment.—J)o not bleed for flat- ulent colic. Try an injection first, and if gas or wind come away with it, the patient will most likely recover soon; but if no benefit is derived from the injection, give the remedies as recommended for spasmodic colic. Let the horse be led around quietly until the medicine has had time to take effect, so as to prevent his falling or rolling, as it might cause rupture of the diaphragm. CORNS appear in the angle of the hoof near the heel, and are generally caused by the shoes being worn too long, causing the shell of the hoof to grow over the shoe, which allows the weiglit to press upon the sole; or the shoe gets moved from its proper position, or perhaps never was placed there. As a general rule, the production of corns may be laid to the sheer. Upon cutting away tlie horn tliere will he found a red spot; but if very bad, the color will be a dark purple, and it will be deeper seated. Treatment. — Dress down the bruised part until quite tliin, and apply Kendall's Spavin Cure quite freely, and then put on the shoe, so fitted tliat there will be no pres- sure on the ])art. Apply the Spavin Cure for several days. If the above treatment fails (which it probably will not), then dress down the bruised part, thin as before, and apply Kendall's Blister (which will bo sent by mail on receipt of $), thoroughly rubbed in, and con- tinue to apply Keudall's Spavin Cure, as recommended in treatment of bono spavin.
