the
necessity
of distinguishing
the
flatulent,
or
windy,
or
spasmodic
colic,
from
the
inflammatory
one,
and
from
that
which
depends
on^
costiveness.
It
is
always
necessary
to
empty
the
bowels
by
means
of
clysters
;
and,
should
the
horse
have
ap-
peared
dull
and
heavy
previous
to
the
attack,
it
wih
be
advisable
to
bleed.
If
costiveness
attends
it,
give
a
laxative
drench
after
the
paroxysm,
which
will
prevent
its
return.

crocus
metallorum,
or
liver
of
antimony,
1
ounce
;
sprinkle

moist
bran.
This
may
be
given
to
horses
subject
to
this
disorder
once
a
day,
among
their
oats
:
it
relieves
the
appetite,
destroys
worms,
sweetens
the
blood,
against
all
obstructions
opens
the
passage,
and
im
proves
tired
and
lean
horses
in
a
great
degree
;
it
is
also
of
great
service in
coughs
and
shortness
of
breath.
It
may
be
given
daily
from
2
to
4 weeks,
and
will
soon
produce
a
fine
coat.
The
horse
may
be
worked
while
he
is
taking
the
medicine,

being
taken
not
to
expose
him
to
wet
or
cold.
