    LC Say ob 25 40.—Sooka Zaarbahd. Section 4.—EMACIATION. History.—A falling out of condition and gradually encreasing emaciation are the characteristic symptoms of this affection. The skin, to a greater or less extent, assumes a white leprous appearance, and always has a dry husky and scaly aspect. The animal is weak and listless, restless during the night, appetite variable, usually greatly diminished, the alvine motions are very pale and very fetid. Urine keeps healthy, but the animal is usually very thirsty. This affection is a frequent consequence of Zaarbahd; it may also follow the careless exhibition of mercurial preparations: other cases result from no traceable cause, but its existence is an unmistakeable evidence of the animal being in a very bad habit of body; from which, after a protracted ailment of from four to eight months, occasioning encreasing debility, it usually dies. f TREATMENT.—The treatment is tonic and alterative. Only one case has been under treatment in Hospital which recovered from the use of the following Native Mussauls. Mussaul No. i. 1 Take of Urthal, cississ. Lola, 1 7 Moosumber, ....sss0c000 ...
