Colts will bleed to death if the umbilical cord is severed too dose to the body, stud too soon after the colt is born; care- ful watching is better than luck at such times. Foals are very subject to a disease called joint evil, which is almost always fatal, and when not actually fatal, renders the foal not worth raising. Recent investi- gations have shown that this di- sease is caused by blood poisoning, the poisonous matter entering through the newly severed navel cord, from the litter or some other injurious substance touching the und, and that by carefully disin- ting the navel the disease can avoided in most cases. A weak lution of carbolic acid is .very od for the purpose. Among the her eommon troubles of young Its are diarrhoea. and constipa- n. The former is usually caused overfeeding, or exphsure to in- ment weather., and should be ecked at one by the use of such 'motives as parched flour; rice al gruel, and boiled milk.

More people suffer from. indigestion and its accompanying ills, such as constipation and deranged kidneys and liver, than from any other elass of diseases. The use of digestants, pepsin, bismuth, etc., sometimes gives temporary relief when the trouble is confined to the stomach, but the most serious form of indigestion is that which affects the intestines, and is attended with constipation, kidney pains and cramps. That Dr. Chase's Kiclney4Aver Pills is the niost effective treatineat for this dreadfhlly common affliction is now generally known, and we here quote a letter from a Peterborough resident, whoagives his experience for the benefit of other sufferers. Mr. 11,. Beach, 225 Sherbrooke Street, Peterborough, Ont., states :—"About two years ago I became subjett to cramps, which were caused. I was told, Liana acute indigestion. I was so, bad that 1 would be laid for weeks at a time. These attadks came on periothcally, and distressed me greatly. "I then began ueing Dr. Chase's Kidney -Liver Pills, and have found them a wonderful medicine. They have entirely prevented a recurrence of my trouble, corrected the derangement of Tay digestive organs, and made me feel like a different person," You need net lose time and money in experimenting with new and untried medieinea.
