• The escape of urine from the navel
Is solnewhat commog aanorrnal
condition met with, particularly in
foals. •It is termed technically Per-
slatemt or Previous Urachus, and pop-
ularly known as "Leaky Navel." It
results from the persistence, or non-
closure at birth, of the urine duet of
the navel:
Clause of the Trouble.
During the early period of life,
be-
fore the time of birth, the bladder is
Prologed forward by a tube or canal
termed the Urachus, whichextends
down and passes through the navel
opening in the floor of the belly, and
•forms part of the navel cord and con-
nects the- bladder with the outer
"-Water 'Bag,"' or Aliantoic Sac,. At
birtha when the navel cord is severed,
this tube (the Ilinchui) should then
become closed and obliterated,. ft,
hawerer, sometimes happena that it
cffee not become completely closed
and still remains patent; hence the
tattle continues to escape and flow
through this pre -natal channel. in -
Mead of being discharged through
the natural ;urine passage. This
°audition a patency and discharge

for a time, intectioa may Mete place,
and the narel then becomes inflamed
and swollen and -pus or matter may

Treatment and Prevention.
Persistence of the Urachus, with
consequent escape of urine from the
navel, would seldom be net with if
the navel cord of foals were given
attention at time of birth. The- save'
should bis treated daily with an anti-
septic solution, such as equal parts
of tincture of iodine and water, or
a two per cent. solution of creolin
or carbolic acid, until it has been
healed.
To remedy this abnormal condi-
tion, when present, the navel should
be cleansed and treated twice daily
with Some astringent and antiseptic
solution, smell as a warm saturated
salution et alum and borax. or blue -
stone (sulphate of copper), to which
may be added a little creolin or car-
bolic acid. (A saturated solution Ise
made by dissiolving in watee a.amuch
