174 The Management and Treatment of the Morse, a very different hue, varying from cream -white to brown or straw colour, and mixed with pus ; in some instances this is mixed with blood. This discharge is sometimes continuous, and at others it is only occasionally squeezed out : in the latter case it is generally thick, and when so the disease is generally on the wane. If, however, it is of long duration, it sometimes assumes a serious aspect, and may ultimately prove fatal. Sometimes this disease is accompanied with cough, and when it is so, the writer has found very good results from the following pectoral balls, given every day for a week. They are also very good for horses suffering from asthma or chronic cough:—Balsam of capivi, Barba- does tar and Castile soap, of each four ounces, prepared kali one ounce, beat them together in a mortar, then add carraway seed, aniseed, grains of paradise, and liquorice powder, of each four ounces, sufficient honey or treacle to form it into a stiff paste. Give two ounces each day for three days, then every other day for a week, and afterwards one or two a week. The writer frequently stimulates the nostrils with the fume of vinegar, and for this purpose make a brick red hot, and put a horse cloth over the horse's head, holding the brick on a shovel under the cloth, and pouring gently the vinegar on to the brick. The fumes are confined in the rug, and the animal is forced to inhale it. This will be found to cleanse the nostrils and heal the irritation of the mucous membrane. If the disease is of long standing it may be as well to use Venice turpentine alternately with the vinegar. For this purpose the turpentine should be mixed with bran,

In slight cases the following may be found to be all that is necessary to effect a cure :—One ounce of sulphate of copper made into a ball with linseed meal and treacle, twice a day. This disease, although discharging a quantity of mucous and pus, is neither infectious nor contagious, although if left unattended to it may assume in a secondary stage a serious aspect. STRANGLES. This disease is incidental to all horses in their youth, and indeed looked upon as a baby's complaint. It attacks the colt generally between the age of two and three years, though sometimes the colt may escape until it is four or even five years old ; in some few cases old horses will have it, when it is very difficult to cure. High-fed colts generally have it sooner than those which are fed upon a lower diet. Neither the remote nor the approximate cause of this complaint is known. It appears to be in some degree analogous to the small-pox in the human being, and the colt having passed through it, the consti- tution seems to have undergone a purification and im- provement. In some instances it has affected the animal in so mild a form that it has passed through its various stages, and gone off without much inconvenience to it, or any remedial moans being employed. Contagion seems to have nothing to do with this disorder ; every horse has this complaint once in its life and only once.
