swelling of the throat it should be blistered with Pratts Liniment, or Pratts Spavin Paste--A Blister. Use Pratts Heave, Cough and Cold Remedy according to directions. ~Diarrhoea~ _Symptoms._--At first it resembles colic, and will be followed by violent diarrhoea; the discharge soon becomes merely discolored water and smells bad; the horse is very thirsty, the pulse thick and feeble, the heart skips its beats, the position of the horse is something like colic, and he sweats freely. _Cause._--From diseased condition of teeth, eating rich, juicy food, drinking impure water or from overdose of physic. _Treatment._--If the diarrhoea is severe, call a veterinarian. During and after recovery pay attention to the food. Avoid bran mashes. Much depends on the care at this time, and the constant using of Pratts Animal Regulator, with all feed, during his recovery. Feed lightly for first two or three days. ~Distemper~ Distemper and Pink Eye are closely related and one is often mistaken for the other.

The animal is dull; the head has a "poked-out" appearance; coughs; no appetite; feet are cold; saliva runs from its mouth; has catarrhal symptoms and difficulty in swallowing; the name "strangles" is often applied to it. When this swelling forms on the lungs, liver, etc., the case is aggravated and difficult to cure. Distemper is contagious. It may occur at any time, but is most prevalent from September to April. Pratts Distemper and Pink Eye Remedy will positively relieve the disease at once. Blanket the horse and keep in a well-ventilated stable, free from draughts. Give cold water frequently in small quantities and feed with whatever he will eat. When an abscess forms on the outside and becomes soft, it should be opened and the soft parts surrounding it poulticed so that there will be no "bunch" left after it heals. Disinfect stable with Pratts Dip and Disinfectant. ~Founder or Laminitis~ _Symptoms._--An inflammation of the entire foot which causes such intense pain that the animal cannot stand. The pulse is strong, thick and throbbing, and the horse lies down with legs stretched out. _Cause._--Over-exertion, or after-effects from chilling, inflammation of the lungs, b
