Now for the horses and colts.— Influenza, a disease that resembles distemper very closly; there is only one marked difference and that is the diarrhoea that accompanies it; you can always tell by that. We cured two colts by dropping 3 or 4 drops of sweet oil in their ears every 2 or 3 hours. For horses use more, it will take effect in 1 or 2 hours after first dropped in. This sounds funny and like nonsense but we know where of we speak. It won’t cost more than 10c and will save $50 to $200 worth of horses.
