moisture
at
the
roots
of
his
ears
and
about
hia
flanks,
and,
when
he
lies
at
rest
a
little
while,
begins
to
perspire
strongly,
and
to
get
covered
with
sweat
more
or
less
profuse.
In
most
cases
of
ordinary
gripes,
signs
of
flatu-
lence,
or
of
the
presence
of
air
confined
in
the
bowels,
occur,
and
constitute a
part of
the
disease,
or
increase
it.
The
removal
of
it
is,
therefore,
an
object
to
which
the
attention
of
most
grooms
has
been
in
a
chief
degree
directed
;
and
as
it
can
frequently
be
got
rid
of,
and
the
disease
cured,
by
exciting
the
powerful
action
of the
intestines,
cordial
and
stimu-
lating
medicines
are
had
recourse
to,
and
no
doubt
in
many
have
afforded
relief.
Some
farriers,
indeed,
without
much
care
in
distinguishing
cases,
almost
exclusively
rely
upon
such,
and
employ
them
too
freely.
This,
however,
should
not
be
done
;
for
it
sometimes
happens
that
disorders
not
unlike
flatu-
lent
colic
or
gripes
occur
when
there
is
neither
pent-up
air
present,
nor
any
relaxation
or
want
of
energy
and
action
in
the
intestines
themselves
;
and
stimulating
medicines
might
then
do
no
good,
but
often
much
mischief.
When
the
disorder
is
early
discovered,
or
has
newly
come
on,
it
will
be
proper
to
lose
no
time
to
get
ready
a
clyster,
and
likewise
a
medicinal
draught
for
removing
the
wind
and
abating
the
pain.
After
removing
with
the
hand
any
excrement
in
the
great
gut
that
can
be
reached
by
it,
a
clyster,
made
of
5
or
6
quarts
of
water
or
water-gruel,
blood-warm,
and
6
or
8
ounces
of
common
salt,
may
be
ijijected
;
and
one
or
the
other
of
the
following
draughts
may
be
o-iven
before,
or
about
the
same
time:
