in
sucli
pas-
ture
before
they
are
removed
into
a
fold-yard,
or
some
close
where
there
is
but
little
to
eat,
in
order
that
the
organs
of
rumination
and
digestion
may
have
time
to
discharge
their
functions.
If

several
times,

Treatment.
—
As
soon
as
the
beast
is
discovered
to
be
either
hoven
or
blown,
by
eating
too
great
a
quantity
of
succulent
grasses,
let
a
purging-drink
be
given
:
this
will,
for
the
most
part,
check
fermenta-
tion
in
the
stomach,
and
in
a
very
short
time
force
a
passage
through
the
intestines.

anise-

and
ginger,

2

;
molasses,
4

Let
this
be
given

the
same
manner
as
the
preceding.
In
most
case?
these
drinks
will
be
sufficient
to
purge
a
full-grown
animal
of
this
kind.
By
strict
attention
to
the
above
method
of
application,
a
fever
may
be
prevented,
and
the
animal
speedily
restored.
If
the
fever
continues
after
the
intestines
have
been
evacuated,
(which
is
seldom
the
case,)
it
