partly digeſted, to be maſticated E s Us If an aniinal of this kind eats too greedily of very ſuc to N culent food, fermentation takes place ſo rapidly, and he lê- ſtomach becomes ſo much diſtended, that it loſes the

, To cure this complaint, two things are required; to | ſimulate the fRRomach, andto check the fermentation, The following T think likely to anſwer both purpoſes:
Lime-water, a’ gallon; ginger, in powder, án ounce 3 opium, half a dram;z gin or brandy, a pint. Digeſt all | together, and keep in a bottle well corked,—AÀ ſheep may take a quarter of a pint every hour; a bullock 2 vl)| quart, in the ſame manner, I prefer lime-water for the Vitt Ih! menftruum, becauſe it will abſorb much more than its : own bulk of air; conſequently, it will not increaſe the diſtention of the ſtomach.
If any Kind of drink is required, or is in the leaſt ad- miſlible, lime-water 1s proper.
