"W. M.— The ailment attacking your horses—assuming your diagnosis to be correct— seems to be grease, but the cause or causes can only be ascertained by the inspection of ,a qualified practitioner, »s some mo es of treatment which the owner least suspects arc very often a fruitful source of the complaint. I It is a non-infectious disease, but animals subjected to the same usage generally exhibit similar | symptoms. Therefore It Is of the utmost Import- , ance to remove the causes, and the effects will ! cease. The medicinal treatment varies according | to the violence of the attack, and the different constitutions of the animals. Cleanliness is the first thing to be attended to, and an astringent lotion Bhould bo used until the discharge ceases, afterwatd« applying bandages with an occasional dose j of nitre. Prevention, however, is easier than j cure.
