A Merna veterinarian describes the symptoms of the disease as follows: The horse has an anxious look or expression and appears at tho outset to suffer a loss of appetite. It is not inclined to move save when It has to, and In ten or twelve hours after be ing attacked by the disorder It begins to stagger around and to seek to lean up against any convenient thing which It can rind. Its breathing is practically normal, Its pulse Is nor nial also and Its temperature is from 103 to 105.3 degrees.
