It is clearly sympathetic in its character. Treatment. Removal of the cause, whatever that may be. Cold.—Symptoms. Cough, sliglft fever, and discharge more or less from one or both nostrils, sometimes of a thin, watery material, or a thick, creamy pus. The lining membrane of the nose is red and inflamed. Cold some- times even extends into the throat and lungs, giving rise to quickened breathing and uneasiness. When it extends to the stomach, it is called by the French gastritis mucosa. When it spreads to the chest, it is called bronchitis, (which see). No disease is more common than cold among young horses ; but, unfortunately, it rarely runs its course as such. Cold assumes one or more of the forms just mentioned. Cause. Exposure to cold and stormy weather. Treatment.—In Germany, it is said that a cold, if let alone, will get well in a fortnight, and if treated by a skilful doctor, he will cure it in fourteen days. However, give the animal a few doses of aconite (see Medicines,) to remove the fever, and, if possible, to prevent complica- tions, or its further spread to the neighbouring parts. If the appetite keep good, nothing more need be done ; but, on the contrary, if the breathing quicken, and the appetite be poor, and debility be setting in, tonics and stimulants will be necessary. Get the following medi- cuie, and give one powder, morning, noon, and night, mixed. Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced
