Backache
In spite of the best care one takes
of oneself, any part of the human machine
is liable to become out of order. The
most important organs are the stomach,
heart and kidneys.
The kidneys are the scavengers and they
work day and night in separating the
poisons from the blood. Their signals of
distress are easily recognized and in-
clude such symptoms as backache, de-
pressions, drowsiness, irritability, head-
aches, dizziness, rheumatic twinges,
dropsy, gout.
The' very best way to restore the
neys to their normal state of health,"
says L)r. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y., "is to
drink plenty ol pure water and obtain
from your favorite pharmacy a small
amount of Anuric, which is dispensed by
almost every druggist." Anuric is inex-
pensive and should be taken before meals.

MAKING EXAMINATION OF A SICK HORSE
IMPORTED CHAMPION BELGIAN HORSE.
Homi Refining Co., Oklahoma City, II. S. A.

(Prepared by the United Stntes Depart- 1
ment of Agriculture. I
In examining the system of orgnns
and their functions in a horse it is
customary to begin by noting the fre-
quency of the respiratory movements.
This point can be determined by ob-
serving the motions of the nostrils or
the flanks; on a cold day one can see
the condensation of the moisture of
the warm air as it comes from the
lungs. The normal rate of respira-
tion for a healthy horse at rest Is
from 8 to 16 per minute. The rate Is
faster in young animals than In old,
and Is Increased by work, hot weath-
er, overfilling of the stomach, preg-
nancy, lying upon the side, etc. Ac-
celeration of the respiratory rate
where no physiological cause operates
is due to • a variety of conditions.
Among these is fever; restricted area
of active lung tissue, from filling of
portions of the lungs with Inflamma-
tory exudate, as In pneumonia; com-
pression of the lungs or lo$s of elas-
ticity; pain in the muscles control-
ling the respiratory movement; ex-
cess of carbon dioxide in the blood;
and constriction of the air passages
leading to the lungs.
Dyspnea.
Difficult or labored respiration is
known as dyspnea. It occurs when It
Is difficult, for nny reason, for the ani-
mal to obtain the amount of oxygen
that it requires. This may be due to
filling of the lungs, as in pneumonia;
to painful movements of the chest, as
In rheumatism or pleurisy; to tumors
of the nose and paralysis of the throat,
swellings of the throat, foreign bod-
ies, or weakness of the respiratory
passages, fluid In the chest cavity, ad-
hesions between the lungs and chest
walls, loss of elasticity of the lungs,
etc. Where the difficulty is great the
accessory muscles of respiration are
brought Into play. In great dyspnea
the horse stands with his front feet
apart, with his neck straight out, and
his head extended upon his neck. The
nostrils are widely dilated, the face
has an anxious expression, the eye-
balls protrude, the up-and-down mo-
tion of the larynx is aggravated, the
amplitude of the movement of the
chest walls increased, and the flanks
heave.
The expired air is of about the tem-
perature of the bojly. It contains con-
siderable moisture, and it should
come with equal force from each nos-
tril and should not have an unpleasant
odor. If the stream of air from one
nostril Is stronger than the other,
there is an indication of an obstruc-
tion in a nasal chamber. If the air
possesses a bad odor, It is usually an
Indication of putrefaction of a tissue
or secretion In some part of the
respiratory tract. A bad odor is
found where there is necrosis of the
bone in the nasal passages or In
chronic catarrh. An ulcerating tu-
mor of the nose or throat may cause
the breath to have an offensive odor.
The most offensive breath occurs
where there Is necrosis, or gangrene,
of the lungs.
In some diseases there Is a dis-
charge from the nose. In order to de-
termine the significance of the dis-
charge it should be examined closely.
One should ascertain whether It comss
from one or both nostrils. If but from
one nostril, It probably originates In
the head. The color should be noted.
A thin, watery discharge can be com-
posed of serum, and It occurs In the
eorller stages of eoryza, or nasal cu-
tarrh. An opalescent, slightly tinted
discharge Is composed of mucus and
Indicates a little more severe Irrita-
tion. If the discharge Is sticky and
puslike a deeper difficulty or more ad-
vanced Irritation Is indicated. If the
discharge contains flakes and clumps
of more or less dried, agglutlntited
particles, it is probable that It orig-
inates within a cavity of the hend,
us the sinuses or guttural poucDes.
Examining Nasal Passage.
In examining the Interior of the
nasal passage one should remember
that the normal color of the mucous
membrane Is a rosy pink and that Its
surface is smooth. If ulcers, nodules,
swellings, or tumors are found, these
indicate disease.
Between the lower Jaw there are
several clusters of lymphatic glands.
These f'unds are so small and so soft
that It Is difficult to find them by feel-
ing through the skin, but when a
suppurative disease exists In the upper
•>art of the respiratory tract these
glands become swollen and easy to
feel. They may become soft and brenk
down and discharge as abscesses; tills
is seen constantly In strangles. On
the other hand they may become in-
durated and hnrd and attach them-
selves to the Jawbone, to the tongue,
or to the sl;ln. This Is seen In
chronic glanders. If the glands are
swollen and tender to pressure, it In-
dicates that the disease caustiig the
enlargement Is acute; if they are hard
und insensitive, the disease causing
the enlargement is chronic.
The munner In which the horse
coughs Is of Importance In diagnosis.
The purpose of the cough is to remove
some irritant substance from the
respiratory passages. It occurs from
Inhalation of cold air If the respira-
tory passages are sensitive from dis-
ease. In laryngitis, bronchitis and
pneumonia, cough Is very easily ex-
cited and occurs merely from accu-
mulation of mucus and Inflainmatorj
product upon the irritated respiratory
mucous membrane. If one wishes to
determine the character of the cough,
it can easily be excited by pressing
upon the larynx with the thumb and
finger. The larynx should be pressed
from side to side and the pressure re-
moved the moment the horse com-
mences to cough. A painful cough oc*
curs In pleurisy, also In laryngitis,
bronchitis, and bronchial pneumonia.
After experience in this method of
examination one can determine with u
considerable degree of accuracy wheth-
er the lung contains a normal amount
of air or not. If, ns In pneumonia,
air has been displaced by Inflamma-
tory product occupying the air space,
or If fluid collects in the lower part
of the chest, the percussion sound be-
comes dull. If there is an excess of
air In the chest cavity, the percus-
sion sound becomes abnormally loud
and clear. As the air goes In and
out of the lungs a certain soft sound
Is made which can be heard distinctly,
especially upon Inspiration. This sound
Is Intensified by anything that accel-
erates the rate of respiration, such as
exercise. This soft, rustling sound Is
known as vesicular murmur, and signi-
fies that the lung contains air and is
functionally active. The vesicular mur-
mur Is weakened when there Is an In-
flammatory Infiltration of the lung tis-
sue or when the lungs are compressed
by fluid In the chest cavity. It dis-
appears when air Is excluded by the
accumulation of inflammatory product,
as in pneumonia, and when the lungs
are compressed by fluid In the chest
cavity. The vesicular murmur becomes
rough and harsh In the early stages
of Inflammation of the lungs, and this
is often the first sign of the beginning
of pneumonia.
Bronchial Murmur.
By applying the ear over the lower
part of the windpipe In front of the
breastbone a somewhat harsh, blow-
ing sound mny be heard. This is
known ns the bronchial murmur anrt
Is heard in normal condition near t'io
lower part of the trachea and tr. a
limited extent in the anterior por-
tions of the lungs after sharp exercise.
When the bronchial murmur U heard
over other portions of the 'jngs, It
may signify that the lung? jre more
or less solidified by disec.. e and the
blowing bronchial murmur Is trans-
mitted through this solid lung to the
ear from a distant part of the chest.
The bronchial murmur In an abnormal
place signifies that there exists
pneumonia or that the lungs are com-
pressed by fluid In the chest cavity.
Additional sounds ore heard In the
lungs In some diseased conditions. For
example, when fluid collects In the air
passages and the air Is forced through
It or Is caused to pass through tubes
containing secretions or pus. Such
sounds are of a gurgling or bubbling
nature and are known ns mucous
rales. Mucous rales are spoken of as
being large or small as they are dis-
tinct or indistinct, depending upon
the quantity of fluid that Is present
and the size of the tube in which this
sound Is produced. Mucous rules oc-
cur In pneumonia after the solidified
parts begin to break dawn at the eixl
of the disease. They occur In bron-
chitis and In tuberculosis, where there
is an excess of secretion.
Sometimes a shrill sound is heard,
like the note of a whistle, flfe, or flute.
This Is due to a dry constriction of
the bronchial tubes and it Is heard In
chronic bronchitis and in tuberculo-
sis.
Is Your Back Stiff,
Lame and Achy?
Do Weak Kidneys Keep You Sick,
Tired and All Worn Out?
IF YOU have a constant, dull ache, or sharp pains whenever
you bend or twist your back, and the kidney accretions aeem
disordered, too, don't waste time plastering or rubbing the bad
back. It's likely that the cause is kidney weakness, and delay
in treating the kidneys may invite uric acid poisoning, gravel,
dropsy or fatal Bright's disease.

GIVES DOAN'S THE CREDIT.
Mrs. O. A. King, 617 Texas St., El
Paso, Texas, says: "The pain In
my back was so bad that I couldn't
get much rsst. It was impossible
for me to straighten and 1 had to
use a cane. My ankleB swelled
frightfully, making It hard for me
to walk. I was subject to head-
aches, especially in the morning,
and chills would come over me. X
feared paralysis. On a friend's ad-
vice, I used Doan's Kidney Pills
and they restored me to good
health. I have had little kidney
trouble since and I give Doan's
Kidney Pills the credit for saving
my life."
GOT QUICK RELIEF.
W. F. Doorley, 121 E. Broadway,
KliiKfiBher, Okla., says: "Kidney
complaint caused me no end of suf-
fering. The passages of the kidney
secretions were Intensely painful
and it was evident that I had in-
flammation of the bladder. There
was a stinging across the small of
my back all the time and I couldn't
describe all the misery I went
through. One day a friend suggest-
ed my trying Doan's Kidney Fills
and I did. I hadn't used them long
before the backache was gone. The
kidney secretions were regulated
and my kidneys were Axed up In
food shape. When I have used
loan's since, I have always had
good results."
