Under such circumstances brandy has been several times of great benefit. When on falling the horse becomes convulsed, this is an attack of epi- lepsy. To cure the common Tetanus. Tetanus is an extremely dangerous disease, observed more particularly in horses than any other domestic animals. It consists in a peculiar spasm of the muscles of the jaws, and often too of the entire body. The jaws are so completely closed, than one might break them rather than separate them one from the other. At the onset of the disease, which al- ways commences with slight symptoms of colic and constipa- tion, with moving of the tail, the animal feels some difficulty in opening the mouth ; by degrees the ears become rigid, the eyes are widely opened and distorted, the neck is rigid and immovable; spasm soon seizes the entire body; the animal becomes rigid in every part; the muscles are hard, the respi- ration is hurried and loud, and the animal's body is covered with a cold sweat; his body, in fact, seems as if he was a wooden horse. JNo power can then succeed in opening the mouth ; the nose forms a hard cone; the horse, almost inca- pable of making the least movement, remains standing, his legs very much separated, and at length dies between the eighth and tenth day.
