Be sure to investigate the cauge of, all dise^es, before you
attempt to cure them. It will give ypu a clue to the cure,
for, as the cure of most diseases opnsists in removing the cause,
you will thereby bo able to administer the medicine to gooil
effect. It is veiy important to ascertain whetW the blooS V
the animal is in a healthy state. K the blood jbe.bad or vi-
tiated, it will be nearly unpossible to heal a 3ore oj- a wound.
A small scratch or cut, will^; updw sucl^ circumstances, degeu^,
erate into an ahnost incurable, ulcer. The blood, so e^utial
to life, health, and etrength, should receive your, careful at-;
tontion,. It may, be too thick, or it may be too t]iin and
watery. It may be pure, and it mfty be vitiated agd unhealthy.
The blood once purified and circulating freely and, equally
through every part of the 8y8te.m, Nature will step in. to
your assistance^ and perform ati important part in the cure of
diseases. You can then, with more certainty, direct your
HMiiodies to the T)urpo&c . ., , . . v

I cannot omit, while remarking on this su%ct, to call your
attention to one foct of much importance in treating the dis-
eases of horses. Horses are liable to two complaints, much t«-
«,mblingeach other, as to external appearances and yet .i,^
their character, es«,ntiaUy different. A want of discnmination
i„ such cases, has frequently resulted in the death of the horse _

the feowels. The first is generally relieved by^cord..-vls-, «.,>
*oond depends almost whoUy on the bncet, and it noglcctod
death generally follows. These facts go to convince us ol
the neces^ty of understanding the nature of diseases and to be
able to discriminate between them. Dropsy of the Chest, and
Inflammation of the Lungs a«> also liable to the same mistakes
in treatment. The symptoms of each much resemble the
other. The dropsy is frequently a sequel consequence of the
inflftinmation. *
Rinirbono is a leakage of the joint. Wlien first formed it
a by a° wrench orbrube, and if the inflammation is soon re-
„„w..d it will not form into tubes, or pipes, which, when formed,

mr^pcid operation. Thotcforc, the joint Bhould bo imcnj.pod,
jMid the tubes or pipes which produce the Icalcagc ot bony
matter removed ; keep out the inflammation, and it will
bring the joint to its natural state, and the hoof become sound.
Kone Spavin is also formed or caused by a wrench or bruise,
or a strain ; inflammation is apt to foUow, which produces pain,
Ijmieue^ and stiffness ip the gambrel joint It is produced
the same as' Ring-bone, by what I have called a leakage.
Tlic surgeons, I thiqk, caU it ossification, or a deposit of booy
matter. It is sometimes difficult to remove these by an oper-
ation, as is the case with Ring-bone, on account of the pastern
vein, sometimes running across the spavin. Blistering is use-
ful. Ring-bone and Spavin should bo treated alike, in all
cases where practicable.., . i
Meii are frequently deceived in the quality of the blood in
the horee, when it is thin and watery. The horse will appear
to, bo in good health, and yet his blood will be half water;
a cut or a sore will not heal, and will create inflammation. As
long as this blood passes through the system, the horse will do
.18 well as common, but when he becomes tired, or gets hurt or
strained, then it will create inflammation, and the auricle of the
heart contracts and throws the blood into the ventricle,
llie ventricle contracts in its turn and drives the blood, nei
Uck into the auricle, for there is as complete a valve aJ^ tLu;
in the sucker of a pump, to prevent this, and the h<^se will
then act as though he was foundered, and some would j^dge it
to bo a founder, but bleed him and you will find his bloo^half
fluid, which will create inflammation, and that will jreato
mortification; the horse will soon die, and on opening him.
you will find one or two paiisfiUl of yellow water. 'Dire^

like ligament^ ip. the neighborhood so useful in binding down
the cords, ligamepts or tendons, as they mo*»e while the aui-
inal is in moUon. These ligaments, by strsiining or over action,
frequently becopie ipflaraed, swelling and lameness may follow,
or the sheat^ jn which the cofd$ or tendons niiove, may be in-
jured. Curb is an affection of this kind, and a secretion or de-
posit of a bony matter is the consequence : thus a callous
tumor is formed. As such affections are always accompanied
with fever and inflammation at the beginning, it is proper at
tirst to give diuretic balls and bleed freely, and then to apply .

ini8 Done gets wrenched or strained, bjf treading on some
tolling stick or stone, and inflammation of the solo of the foot
follows. There will be no external swelling perceptible, and
yet the horse will be very lariie. Many, on seeing the horse in
this cbmplaint, would suppose it to be a 8traii;i of the shoulder,
or shbulcier sprain. When the complaint is in the foot, it may
be generally known by the horse^s standing upon the toe, or
eather, by his resting his foot on his t6e, and refusal to stand
on the foot, on account of the pain it produces. The horse
should be bled in one of the pastern veins, a couple of quarts,
and repeated if necessary. The shoo should be taken off, the
hoof pared thin, and kept softened with soft oil, applied at the
top and bottom, using frequently the Oallous Liniment, bathing
it in warm, or by holding a hot iron near it for a while
daily ; shave off the hair near the hoof and draw a blister, for
as the liniment drives the inflammation out of the foot, the blis-
ter removes it; when the blister has discharged, then apply the
healing salve; apply also the liniment and hoof oil to the hoof,
and the horse will soon be well Now as the navicular or
shuttle-bone in the hoof, is so near the coffin-bone, an injuiy to
that should bo treated the same as the other, or coffin-bone.
The last case is brought on by striking the foot, with steel
corks,' on a hard, flat board, or stone, and beanng no weight on
any citlier part of the shoe, he stands with his foot to one side,
to prevent the leg bearing the weight of the body. In all tho

Mix them and bdil them for one dose. Boil it down to i*
((uart or less in bulk. Feed the hoi-se on bran mashes, orcar-
n^ts. The next day, after giving the above dose, give him a
diuretic ball everyotJier day, till he has taken four balls, and
if he has only two drops of blood out of six, boil black cherry
bark, or elecampaine, or both together, if you can get them,

RING-BONE.
This disease is caused by a wrench or bmise, and I think it
sometimes hereditary. It has, in one sense, a two fold loca-
tion. First, the ringbone itself, and second, the contraction; of
the hooff, as a consequence. Either of them is sufficient to
produce a painful lameness; to effect the cure of which, both
diseases should be treated together, and the hoof kept growing
during the treatment of the ringbone, to prevent th^ contrac-
tion of the hoof becoming pemaanent, and preveiit the inflam-
mation spreading from the ringbone to thelioof, and this ti'eat-
ment must bo continued till the healing up of the wound, or
sore, caused by the treatment of the ringbone. When this
inflammation first appers, it cm be cured and prevent leakages,
but when these leakages foiin tubes or pipes, then, external
applications do not often affect, or cure; in such case the tubes
must be uncapped and destroyed, for when the first cause is re-
moved the effect will be sure to follow, and the Cilfe be }>er-
inanent. At the first appearAtlco of the disease it can be
cured, by a thorough apfJication of Frank's Call?:^.is Lininiont,
rubbing it, with a round stick with some force, and passing a
warm flat iix>n over it, to bathe it in. Duiiug this treatment,
the horse should not be worked, but be allowed to' run iu a
;-asture or barn-yard, where he will take just as much oxcrcisc;
and noi^dre than nature demands. Standing still agjirrAYat^s

see that it is in good ordcrr. To iiittke a thar6iigh ciire o^
the nng.bono, if the above named remedy fails, shave the'
hair fivm over the ring-bone, apply a plaster to cover the whole
ring-bone— the plaster must be 'spread thick, and liot removed

keep the bandage and plaster in its place, you cah rul the mU
abouttho place with pine oil, to cause the bandage to adlieru
properly, and start the hoof at the same time. At the end of
about live days, take off the piaster. In two days more the
callous will come off. Then pulverize burnt allum, and put it
on plentifully, through a pepper box— wash the sore once or
twice a day, with castile soap, piitting on pine oil, and folk>w
the oil with alum, as above directed, for seven days. After
thi^usothe healing salve once, apd tbe pine oil the other part,
of the day, till it is nearly healed. Then use the Callous Liui^
ment, with the salve and oil, till the sore is healed and sore-'
ness taken out. The bone spavin is cured in the same way as'
the ring bone, with the hoof, with Which, it has no connection,

THRUSH.
A fetid discharge J-om the cleft of the frog. It is a vitiated
secretion of corrupt matter, instead of the healthy secretion,
naturally producing the healthy matter of horn or hoof.
Cure. — Cleanse the part well, with strong soap suds, and
apply any very astringent medicine, an ointment of Verdigris,
Honey, and Vinegar, is a good application ; but the best ap-
plication, 1 think, is a wash of half an ounce of Corrosive
Sublimate it half a pint of rain water, syringed into the sore
once a day. Then take the pine oil and healing salve, half
and half, and syringe into the sore once a day, for 3 days, af-
ter this use pine oil on the part freely, keep cloths moistened
with the pine oil on the sole of the hool^ and the edges of the
hoof. Look well to the purity of the hibod, and bleed if ne-
cessary.
POISON.
mOM EATING, BY A BITE, OR FROM ANT OTHER CAUSE.
Remedy. — To remove the same, take the common large
plantain. This plantain is indigenous to this country, and is
found growing plentifully in meadows, pastures, by road sides,
and in gardens. It is possessed of refrigerant, vulnerary, anticep-
tic, detergent, and subastringent properties, and is hold in high
repute by some in the cure of bites from poisonous serpents
and insects. It was recorded in a "Virginia paper that a gen-
tleman was bitten above the knee by a spider; a few minutes
after he perceived a pain shooting upward from the spot, whieh
soon reached the heart; a quantity of plantain was immedi-
ately bruised, and the juice squeeeed out and swallowed,
which stopped the progress of the poison, so that a cure of the
bite was obtained immediately. The leaves, simmered in
spirits or fresh butter, make an excellent ointment for erycipe-
la«, tetter, or salt rheum. It is also remarbably efficacious in
]K)iscns of all kinds.

DISEASE OF THE KIDNEYS.
Caused by feeding- dirty or musty grain, hard., (Jrajving, over-
loading him. Or by giving too much turpentine. ""'*
Cure. — Blister over the kidneys, and give the followino:
pills every day; take one ounoe. of i"osin, one ounce of juui])er
berries, ground fine, and flour two ounces, make all into a stift
paste, divide irito seven pills, give one every night, tlien uso
the cleansing powder every day; if the horse has trouble to
get up when he lays down, swing him up for two weeks;
give no food but that which is clean; this is half of the cure.
Do not work nor ride him.
SORE MOUTH OR TONGUE— CALLED CANKER OR
THRUSH.
Symptoms. — The mouth runs water, the horse ooods or
throws his hay out of his mouth. The .cause of this is often
from frosty bits being put into the mouth, or by eating poison-
ous weeds.

The following Recipes have been carefully selected from the
w^rks of W. B. McOrwm and other celebrated Farriers.
WEAK EYES, OR HOOKS.
First, rowel below the eyes and in the jaws — then if the
eyes are much inflamed bleed two gallons from the neck veins,
and use the eye wash or eye lotion every morning; move the
rowels every day, and let them remain in 15 or 20 days. If
the eye shows a white speck in the centre there is no cure for
it — the nerve of the eye is affected, but as long as the eye
runs water there is hopes of it, or the .eye-lids swell. All
yowag horses are liable to have weak eyes.
EYE LOTION— HOW TO MAKE IT
^ Take a good quality 6{ linseed oil one pint, add to it 2 oz.
^ounces) of spirits of ether, gum camphor ^ oz. Let it stand
in some warm place until the oil cuts the gum, and it is fit
i>r use. Apply it to the eye every morr^ng with a soft feath-
er ; get it into the eyes well as possible. This is better in
winter than the wash, but the wash is bet^^r for summer.
EYEWASH.
Take of sugar of lead 2 drachliis, white vitriol 1 drachm,
laudanum 1 drachm, add to this 1 quart of soft water; let it
stand for 6 or 8 hours and it is fit for use. Wash the eyes

i
horse should be kept on low diet, and not over heated, or
worked too hard; scalded bran and oats are good.
AfiSTIILA OR POLE EVIL.

swe n!isg<..e down-mov«it every day, and wl en all is

HOOF BOUND OR TENDER FEET.
Cause of this is fevor in tho feet. Founder, or gravel, the
symptoms are hot feet and a drawing in one inch fi-om the top
of the feet at the heels. -Never have the feet spread at the
heels nor rasped above the nail holes, for it will do the foot 'an
injury. Follow the directions givon here. Use cither the
hoof ointment or the hoof liquid; apply it according to the
printed directions. For hoof bouml or tender feet, apply it all
around the top of the hoof, one inch down, every third day; if
for split hoof, apply it every day. First, have a stiff shoe bn
tlw foot, and cleanse the cut or crack. Never cut or bum for it.
HOOF OINTMENT.
Take rosin 4oz., beeswa?c 6 oz., lard 2 lbs.— melt together,
ix)ur it into a pot, add 3 oz. of turpentine, 2 oz. of finely pow-
dered verdigris, one ft), of tallow— stir all until it gets cool.
This is one of the best medicines for the hoof over used. It is
good for corks or bruises of the feet. Follow the directions.
HOOF LIQUID.
Tor tender feet, hoof bound, <feo. Linseed oil, or neatsfoot
oil, one-half pint of either, turpentine 4 oz. oil of tar 6 oz. ori-
ganum 3 oz. shake this well and apply it as the directions for
the ointment tells. This is the best if the horse has been lame
long— It penetrates the hoof sooner than the ointment— both
of them should be applied at night, so that the horse can go
to work in the morning. He need not lose one ^ay's work.
Take tho ointment of rosin 4 oz. i oz. of finely ground ver-
digris, 2 oz. of turpentine, mutton tallow 2 fcs., ^ oz. oilof ori-

gamim, -J- oz. tr. of iodine — mix all well. This is one of the
best medicines that can be made, for scratches, "hoof-evil, cuts,
fUid k good to apply on fistula, after the rowels hare been
taken out. ,: ;
LUNG FEVER.
Symptoms. — The horso is taken with a chill, then breaks out
in a cold, clammy sweat ; holds down his head, never offers to
lay down, but groans when made to move ; his ears and legs
are deathly cold. The cause of this is change from warm to
cojd stable, too much cold water when warm.
Cure. — Bleed four gallons from the neck vein, and take
one ounce of aquanite, add to it ^ gallon of cold water ; drench
liira with one gill of it every three hours, blister him over the
lungs, then give him water to drink that hay has been boiled
in, add to each gallon of it one oz. of gum arabic, and ^ oz. of
spirits of nitre ; give this every four hours, mb well, foment
and rub the legs with alcohol and camphor, until they get
warm, do not move him. Keep him in open stall if not hot
woatlier.
DISEASE OF THE LIVER, OR TELLOW WATER.
Symptoms. — The eyes run and turn yellow, the base of the
mouth the same, the hair and mane get loose, and he often is
lame in the right shoulder, and very costive.
Cure. — Give the following ball every morning until it ope-
rates upon the bowels. Take 7 drachms of aloes, and one
drachm of calomel, 4 di'achms of ginger, and molasses enough
to make it into a ball, wrap it in paper and give it; give scald-
ed bran and oats, grass, if it can be got; when his bowels have
moved, stop the physic, and give one oz. of spirits of camphor,
in i pint of water every morning, for twelve days, rowel in the
breast, and give a few doses of cleansing powder. Turn him
out.
NASAL GLEET. OR DISCHARGE FROM THE EYE
AND NOSE.
The cause of this is neglect in distemper, or over heat, or
cold ; this is a white discharge from the nose, and is not conr
trtgious, and can be cured.
CELKBRATBD HORSE REMEDIES.
^
CuMB.—Stop working him; take of alum j lb., i ih. of ms-
m, i a. of blue vitriol, grind and mix well with ^ ib. of ginger;
give one large spoonful every night and moniing; bleed one
gallon. Keep him out of w^t, and do not work Iiiia
HOW TO MAKE THE WHITE OINTMENT
^ For rheumatism, sprains, bums, swellings, bruises, or any
mflammation on Man or Beast, chapped hands or lips, black
eyes, or any kind of bruise. Take fresh butter 2 ibs., tr. of
lodme i oz., oil of origanum 2 oz. ; mix this well for fifteen
minutes and it is fit for use,~apply it every night; rub it in
weU with you hand ; if for human flesh, lay on warm flannel.
BLACK LINIMENT.
This is good to apply on poll-evil— fistula. Taxte of linseed
oil i pint, tincture of iodine 3 oz., turpentine 4 oz., oil of or-
ganum 1 oz. ; shako all well, and apply it every day; rub it
mweU with your hand; wash the part clean with soap and
water before applying it. This is good on any swelling.
GROGGY KNEES.
The cause of this is sprains or over driving, or by havinjr
oofks, and no toes on the shoes. This can be cured in the finft
stages, but if of long standing there is no cure.
Cure.— Have shoes made thick at the toe and thin at the
heels; take linseed oil half pint, alcohol 4 ounces, 1 oz cani-
phor spirits, 2 oz. laudanum; shake and apply to the back pa?t
of the legs; rub it in weU every four days. Still increase the
t hick no, .s of the shoes at the toe.
HOW TO REMOVE WARTS.
Cut ilioiM ( ut by the roots; take the tenackulum, or hook
run It tlirou^h the wart, a!id drMW and cut mund it and draw
It out. If it should bleed too much, take 5 grains of nitrateTf
ffllver and one ounce of water; wet a sponge, and merely touch
the part with this wash, and the bleeding will stop. Treat it
iike any f.v.sh wou id; still, every time you wash it scratch the

BOTS. ■' '•^J^
Symptoms. — Very much like those of colic; tha ears ancl
legs are hot, and sometimes the sweat will start in tli^, flank
and breast. ^ ^
Cure.— Make a half gallon of sage tea; add to it 1 oz. of
alum. Drench with one half of it ; and if he is not better in
thirty or forty minutes, give the balance, and bleed one gallon.
In six hours, give a mild physic. This remedy will neyer fail,
if given in season. Never give turpentine, as many do; it
will aflect the kidneys, ir'.*. ^ -i !- ^

SPRAIN OF THE STIFLE.
Symptoms — ^The horse holds up his foot, moans wnen moved,
swells in the stifle. This is what in called stifling. There is no
such thing as this joint getting out of place.
Cure.— Bleed two gallons ; foment the stifle with hot wa-
ter; rub it dry. Then bathe it well with the General Lini-
ment, every morning and night. Give him a mash and he will
be well. Never allow any stifle shoe or cord on the foot or leg.
BROKEN KNEES.
This is caused by the horse falling on the knees. First,
cleanse the parts of all gravel and dirt; then wash them.
Take two gills of alcohol, half an ounce of armekey, tie the
knees up in coarse linen, and if they swell in twenty-four
hours, bleed, and keep the bowels open with mashes ; and then
apply the Blue or the Iodine Ointm(3nt, every other day. Do
not use the horse until he is perfectly well, or it may cause the
knees to break out again.

PHYSIC BALL.
"Half an ounce of aloes; 3 drachnis of gamboge; 20 drops
of the oil of juniper. Make it into a pill with a few drops of
molasses ; wrap the pill in thin paper and grease it. Draw
out the horse's tongue with the left' hand, place the gag in his
mouth, and run the pill back with the right hand till it drops
off. Let the head down, and give a sup of water. First pre*
pare the horse, by giving one or two mashes.
IODINE OINTMENT.
, Get an ounce of the grease of iodine and a pint of alcohol;
let it stand in the sun two days, and it becomes the tincture of
iodine. Take 2 ounces of tincture and half a pound of lard ;
mix them well, and you have Iodine Ointment. This is used
whenever the recipes refer to the ointment,
BIG, OR MILK LEG.
Thit is brought on by a hurt, a want of action in the ab-
sorbent system. It is dropsy of the muscles of the leg.
Cure. — Apply the Liquid Blisterer, every three hours, un-
til it blisters; then, in six hours, grease with soft oil, of any
kind. Then, in eight days, wash the part clean and apply it
again. Repeat it, for three or four times, and then use the
Iodine Ointment. If this does not remove it all, apply the
Spavin Medicine ; which will remove it all,
LIQUID BLISTERER.
Take alcohol, 1 pint; turpentine, half a pint; aquamonia,
4 ounces ; oil of organum, I ounce. Apply this as spoken of,
every three hours, until it blisters. Do not repeat oftener than
once in eight days, or seven at least, or it will kill the h^ir.

HOW TO TAME THE WILD HORSE.
Halter him; then take the warts from the leg, dry and pow-
der them, and blow the powder up his nose. I'hen luke the
oil of arodium, drop a few drops on your hand and rub it over
his nose. This will make him follow you, and you can do with
hm anything you wish. I paid Perry Pl^ncher $20 for this
recipe. He is the Arabian Horse Tamer.
HOW TO MAKE A HORSE STAND TO BE CAS-
TRATED.
Put chloroform on a sponge and hold it to his nose a few
seconds, until he closes his eyes; remove it and alter him.

tincture of iodine, 3 oz. ; turpentine 4 cz. ; corosive sublimaU^
8 drachms. Mix all well with 2 ibs. of lard. Color it, if you
like. Follow the directions here given :
If for Ringbone, or Bone Spavin— Cut off the hair from the
part affected, and merely grease the lump with the Ointment
Kub it in well with the naked hand. In two days, grease the

Take six ix)unds of lard and put it into a ten gallon kettle;
add two gallons of water; cut jimpson weeds and fill up, and
cook them four to six hours, slowly, cooking all the water out.
