J. B\, Cambrains — In regard tc your query relating to tbe colt and the niaae, which yon say was opened immediately after death and found to have been attacked by bote while alive, tho membrane lining of the stomach haying been eaten away, thug causing their sudden demise, in all my experience in pott mortem examinations, I have never found the membrane lining that viscus injured by these parasites to tko •extent of caiising death, even although they were in considerable numbers ; but such cases of sudden death oould always be demonstrated in thcr organs, and from other causes. In legord to your cow. aa she is a valuable animal, it wou\d be wise to call in a qualified practitioner in tinxo and find out what is the real cause of her ailment. However, if that is inconvenient;, you miglit tiy lib of Epsoni salts, loz pulverised ginger and lib di°solvcd treacle, to bo mixed, and given slowly. J. M —Before you bathe your horse's foot any longer you might try another practitioner. It is poasfb'e he might find a little nioro about the foot or leg than you oxpectcd, and then all youi present treatment would bo in vain, only resulting in, the loss of time.
