INFLAMMATION OF THE KIDNEYS.

A derangement of these organs may result from external violence, or it

may depend on the animal having eaten stimulating or poisonous plants.

Its symptoms are, pain in the region of the kidneys; the back is arched,

and the walk stiff and painful, with the legs widely separated; there is

a frequent desire to make water, and that is high colored or bloody; the

appetite is more or less impaired, and there is considerable thirst.

The indications are, to lubricate the mucous surfaces, remove morbific

materials from the system, and improve the general health.
