Diarrhea of Horse.

In cases of persistent diarrhea the first thing should be to look after the feed and change at once to a proper diet. Give one to one and one-half pints of raw linseed oil and two drams of extract belladonna in it at one dose. After this has operated if the diarrhea does not stop give one dram of powdered opium, one dram of camphor, made into a ball, or give one dram of powdered opium, two drams of powdered chatechu, made into a ball or put into a quart of starch gruel, or give one dram of opium and one tablespoonful of chalk in starch gruel. If the discharge is of the severe kind and very watery, give two drams of powdered opium and one dram of sugar of lead in a ball or in starch gruel and repeat every two hours until it stops. Feed on good oats and hay in small quantities for a few days.—Atlanta Constitution.
