is called the âpoliumâ or foalâs membrane, is, as all the accounts state,
delivered by the mother before the foal appears.
A horse will recognize the neighing of any other horse with which it may
have fought at any previous period. The horse delights in meadows and
marshes, and likes to drink muddy water; in fact, if water be clear, the horse
will trample in it to make it turbid, will then drink it, and afterwards will
wallow in it. The animal is fond of water in every way, whether for drinking
or for bathing purposes; and this explains the peculiar constitution of the
hippopotamus or river-horse. In regard to water the ox is the opposite of the
horse; for if the water be impure or cold, or mixed up with alien matter, it will
refuse to drink it.

It arises first in the head, and a clammy humour runs down the nostrils, thick

Elephants suffer from flatulence, and when thus afflicted can void neither
solid nor liquid residuum. If the elephant swallow earth-mould it suffers from
relaxation; but if it go on taking it steadily, it will experience no harm. From
time to time it takes to swallowing stones. It suffers also from diarrhoea: in
this case they administer draughts of lukewarm water or dip its fodder in
honey, and either one or the other prescription will prove a costive. When
they suffer from insomnia, they will be restored to health if their shoulders be
rubbed with salt, olive-oil, and warm water; when they have aches in their
shoulders they will derive great benefit from the application of roast pork.
Some elephants like olive oil, and others do not. If there is a bit of iron in the
inside of an elephant it is said that it will pass out if the animal takes a drink
of olive-oil; if the animal refuses olive-oil, they soak a root in the oil and give
