He began to ocugh very hard, eaoh cough bringing away a thick humorou- 1 matter from the nostrils, the lika of what I never Baw before coming from a horse. This i continued all next day, whioh I am certain were the bots bursting from the effeota of the Remedy, and ooming up through the nostrils by the effects of the oougb. After this oeased the horse began to mend, and in six days had him at work again, heartily well You abould make these Remedies public, so that farmerß might know there is a remedy for this deatruotive pa&te.
