 COPYRIGHT, 190S, BY DR. J. G. I- E S U R E . 
 
FOR PRIVATE TREATMENT OF DOMESTIC ANIMALS. 
 
 INTRODUCTORY* 
 
 In this book I shall endeavor to guard the unsuspecting against 
 the arts of the vender who is trying to get something for nothing; 
 also, to show that with the use of the instructions contained in 
 this book, any man with ordinary intelligence can treat his horses 
 and cattle privately at home with Dr. Lesure's remedies and 
 recipes attached in the following pages with small cost and 
 entire success. 
 
 It is my object to be useful rather than to offend or to appear 
 learned. I shall avoid all hard names, technical terms, etc., and 
 will offer to the public the information I possess with candor and 
 simplicity. In a treatise of this nature the foolish claim to entire 
 originality must be abandoned. I hope this acknowledgement 
 will be received in place of marks of quotation. 
 
 When the reader reflects that a large volume has been written 
 on the horse's foot alone, he will excuse me for not going into 
 detail for gratuitious distribution on so many subjects, which I 
 shall explain as briefly as possible under the headlines of the 
 different preparations I prescribe for the private treatment of 
 domestic animals. Many of them will also be found of great 
 value as family medicines, in proportionate doses, either for 
 external or internal use. The reader will find, upon looking up 
 the reports of the Bureau of Chemistry of the United States, at 
 Washington, D. C, that the proprietary veterinary medicines, as 
 a whole, put up for sale in the United States are much purer and 
 of a higher standard than thousands of similar remedies put up 
 and largely advertised as strictly for family use. Remember 
 medicines, whether for man or the lower animal creation, all 
 come from the same source, the only difference being the size of 
 dose, the average dose for the horse being ten times greater than 
 that for man.

4 DR. J. G. LESURE'S VETERINARY REMEDIES 
 
 I do want to impress upon every one using my medicines, that 
 to get the very best results from them the plain directions on each 
 and every bottle or package should be followed as closely as pos- 
 sible. By doing this, together with good nursing, any ordinary 
 horseman can treat his stock just as successfully as though I were 
 at his side to direct him personally. 
 
 These medicines I have used for many years in a large and 
 successful practice. I have also been a large horse owner and 
 have done my experimenting on my own stock, and am giving 
 the public the benefit. 
 
 My Liquid Medicines are compounded in my laboratory at 
 Keene, N. H., under my personal supervision by a registered 
 chemist of many years' experience, therefore we know they are 
 of perfect strength and purity. 
 
 My Powders are composed of roots and barks, imported direct 
 from foreign countries, of the highest grade that money will pur- 
 chase, and I will state to those who have never used my medicines 
 that they are no experiment, but have been used successfully for 
 years in most of the larger stables in this and foreign countries. 
 Furthermore, I take all chances by refunding the money at once 
 to any dissatisfied customers. 
 
 This guarantee means a square deal to all customers, as either 
 Dun's orBradstreet's commercial guide will advise that my per- 
 sonal standing is such that I could not afford to promise more 
 than I intend to fulfill. 
 
 In conclusion,! will say that all my medicines are as pure and 
 clean as any druggist carries on his shelves or your physician 
 carries in his case, and are honestly recommended for successful 
 private treatment for both veterinary and family use. 
 
 Respectfully, 
 
 Dr. J. G. Lesure.

 SUPERIORITY 
 
 THE BEST 
 TRADE MARK 
 
 HE products of men's brains and hands are often appropriated and 
 imitated by others. There is only one sure protection from such 
 buccaneering. Do things a little better than the other fellow, so that your 
 name or trade mark is a guarantee of excellence. 
 
 For over twenty years I have made my celebrated Veterinary Medicines 
 just as good as they could be. I am the originator of this particular class 
 of medicines. I have never tried to see how cheap I could make them, 
 but I have always tried to see how good I could make them, placing quality 
 before profit in every case. To-day the picture of Dr. Lesure on a package 
 of medicine is sufficient to insure its strength and purity. The name Dr. 
 Lesure is synonymous with honesty. It stands for the same as the word 
 "sterling" on silver. Competitors, jealous of my success, have tried to 
 imitate ray goods and throw mud at me. They have put their medicines 
 up in packages closely resembling mine in appearance, but the quality, 
 strength, and curative properties are not to be compared. Who would 
 question the value between a real diamond and a paste jewel, or gold dust 
 and brass filings. One never has much respect for a man who sells shoddy 
 or deals in imitations. There is enough of the good. 
 
 Ally yourself with a house that stands for something high, that makes 
 and sells something good. 
 
 Local Agents Wanted. — I want one or more agents in every town or 
 village to represent my medicines. I want a man that every one has con- 
 fidence in ; that they don't doubt for a minute that he means what he says 
 and will do as he agrees ; and when he tells a man that he will refund the 
 purchase money if goods do not prove satisfactory, they know^ he will do it, 
 as I warrant every bottle or package to prove satisfactory. I want no 
 man's money that has not received his value. 
 
 Ordering Goods. — If these goods cannot be obtained in your own town, I 
 will send them by express to any address in the world on receipt of retail 
 price. These goods are kept by a great variety of dealers, and will be found 
 in nearly every town. They are sold by druggists, general stores, harness 
 stores, grain stores, and in many cases by blacksmiths and liverymen. If 
 you cannot find them at any of the above places in your town, send direct 
 to Dr. J. G. Lesure, Keene, N. H., or Harrisburg, Pa., and I will send 
 them to you.

 NURSING. 
 
 I want to impress every one using my medicines that thorough- 
 ness and persistency is the key to success, and that medicine 
 amounts to Httle without good nursing and good care; but with 
 these two essential things , and a proper use of my medicines, 
 ordinary horsemen can successfully treat all diseases of stock 
 with very little use for a veterinary. 
 
 As soon as you find you have a sick horse, get it into a roomy 
 stall (box stall, if possible). This will allow the animal to move 
 about and get itself into the most restful position possible. 
 
 Always avoid draughts, but arrange so that there will be 
 plenty of pure, fresh air. Stall should be located in quiet part 
 of the stable ; can have windows darkened if desired. 
 
 Keep the floor clean without washing while in use, and covered 
 with a liberal amount of clean sawdust or shavings, putting 
 fresh straw enough above this to come up to the horse's knees. 
 Fasten blankets on loosely, change the clothing twice a day, keep 
 set that you have off well aired while not in use. Feed variety of 
 soft and easily digested food in small quantities, such as bran 
 mashes, scalded oats and a little good hay. Always take away 
 what they do not eat of the mashes or any other moist food, 
 before feeding again. 
 
 In using the medicines be sure and follow directions carefully, 
 as only those fail to accomplish desired results who do not follow 
 directions.

 PHYSICKING. 
 
 It is always best to prepare the horse for physic by giving a 
 bran mash the day before the physic is given, as the medicine 
 will act more favorably, and there is less danger of superpurga- 
 tion, following. Aloes, V2 to 1 oz., may be given, according to the 
 age and size of the horse. The surgeon's rule is : Give one dram 
 for each 3^ear up to seven. My favorite physic is raw linseed oil, 
 one quart given in two doses, twelve hours apart for a horse, and 
 one quart doses for full-grown cattle. Twenty-four hours is the 
 usual time for a physic to act. Never work a horse the second 
 day after physicking him , as you are liable to excite inflammation, 
 which is dangerous. Should purging continue longer than is 
 necessary, give a gruel of wheat flour intermixed with 30-drop 
 doses of Dr. Lesure's Colic Cure. Horses sometimes appear sick 
 and refuse their food after taking physic, either during after- 
 noon of same day or the following morning from an overloaded 
 stomach at the time the physic is given, or improper feeding too 
 soon afterward. This is generally caused by improper or lack of 
 preparation before medicine is given, as above directed. Never 
 physic with balls that have been prepared for a long time if you 
 want satisfactory results, but have your druggist prepare them 
 fresh when wanted.

 FEEDING. 
 
 The natural food for a horse is grass, but when compelled to 
 work, they must have more strengthening and flesh-producing 
 food. For good health and to have them in good shape for work, 
 
 their food must also be nutri- 
 tious and have bulk enough 
 to insure good digestion, so 
 that all parts of the body will 
 be strengthened. 
 
 One should know how 
 much each horse requires per 
 day, how much grain and how 
 much rough food, and w^hat 
 proportion to give each horse, 
 and at what intervals. Select 
 your feed with a view to qual- 
 ity, the less bulk the better, 
 just so the strengthening qual- 
 ities are contained in the food. 
 Feed good oats, cracked 
 corn, and clean hay, and give 
 a bran mash once or twice a 
 w^eek with Dr.Lesure's Renova- 
 tor Powders, and your horses 
 will thrive and their coats 
 will always look sleek. 
 
 How to Make a Good Bran 
 Mash. — Take three quarts of 
 oats and three quarts of bran, 
 add a handful of fine salt and 
 one dose of Dr. Lesure's Re- 
 novator Powders. Over this 
 pour four or five quarts of boiling water. Cover up and let 
 steam thirty minutes. Then feed.

 WATERING. 
 
 Water is just as essential as food. Stock should be supplied 
 with fresh, clean, soft water. The animal itself is the best judge 
 as to the quantity, as it will not drink any more than is needed 
 for health. Always water the first thing in the morning and wait 
 at least twenty minutes before feeding. Do the same again at 
 noon and at night. Some horses will drink again at bedtime if 
 offered them and others will not. By following this rule your 
 horses will be saved from the torture of thirst and from many a 
 disease.

 THE VETERINARY CLINICAL THERMOMETER 
 AND HOW TO USE IT* 
 
 First shake the mercury in the tube down to below 98° ; do 
 this by swinging the hand sharply until the mercury in the tube 
 is all together ; then raise the 
 horse's tail and insert the bulb 
 or heavy end about two-thirds 
 of its length into the rectum, 
 
 let it remain at least five min- 
 
 utes, then remove and note 
 
 exactly the top of the column of mercury. This will show 
 
 the horse's temperature.

 THE BEST WAY TO ADMINISTER MEDIQNE. 
 
 Hold the vial of medicine in the right hand, grasp the horse's 
 tongue with the left hand, pull it out and place it on that part of 
 
 the lower jaw which is bare 
 of teeth. Put the right hand 
 into the mouth as far as pos- 
 sible and pour the medicine 
 
 liii '"■ """^ -•u„0/'-^'-''.^^^ o^ "the root of the tongue, 
 
 then withdraw the hand and 
 let go of the tongue. In this 
 w^ay the animal will get all of 
 the dose and therefore receive 
 the full benefit of it.

 HOW TO TAKE THE PULSE OF A HORSE. 
 
 It is very important in diagnosing a disease to be able to take 
 the pulse. This is best done by placing the finger on the edge of 
 thejaw-bone and drawing it along until you find a notch where 
 the artery crosses. There you will feel a throbbing. That is the 
 pulse. In health the beat is from thirty-six to forty-two per 
 minute ; at sixt3^ there will be considerable fever, and at eighty 
 the case is dangerous ; and the horse will not survive long at a 
 hundred unless you do something to reduce it. 
 
 Always keep everything as quiet as possible, as noise or ex- 
 citement will increase the pulse and aggravate the disease. 
 
 Temperature. — The normal temperature of a healthy horse 
 may be placed at about 98° to 99°. The temperature is subject 
 to slight alterations under certain influences. 
 
 The most accurate method of taking the temperature is by 
 inserting a clinical thermometerinto the rectum. The thermom- 
 eter should remain in the gut at least five minutes. 
 
 Before inserting be sure the mercury is below the minimum 
 temperature. The end containing the mercury should be pushed 
 in gently, leaving just enough outside to take hold of when you 
 desire to take it out. 
 
 Respiration.— A horse in health, standing still, breathes from 
 twelve to fifteen times a minute; work or any excitement increases 
 the number of respirations. The manner of breathing is changed 
 by disease. Quick breathing refers to an increased number of 
 respirations, which may be due to disease or to simple exercise. 
 Difficult breathing is always associated with something abnor- 
 mal and is often a guide to the trouble. 
 
 Newark, N. J., Feb. 15, 1907. 
 We, Lawrence & Wright, 213 and 215 Clinton Avenue, Newark, N. J., 
 have for the past 11 years used Dr. J. G. Lesure's Veterinary Remedies 
 and believe them to be the best on earth. They do their work so quickly 
 and are so easily given. They have never failed us. We would not be 
 without them, and never have been since the night Mr. Taylor, Dr. Lesure's 
 agent, drove into our stables and found them full of distemper, with fever 
 running high; says, " J5e your own doctor; will guarantee them all in 
 normal condition in from three to five days, or no charge for the Medi- 
 cines." In five days our horses were all working. They have saved us 
 hundreds of dollars. We can recommend them to all owners of horses.

 THE HORSE'S MOUTH. 
 
 This is one of the most sensitive organs. All young horses, 
 coming three or four years old, should have their mouths and 
 teeth carefully examined when any symptoms of tenderness or 
 irritation are shown, as it is at this age that some of the decidu- 
 ous molars are replaced by the permanent teeth. In some cases 
 this gives rise to much pain and annoyance to horses, affecting 
 their temper and sensibility. 
 
 Again, in some horses the structure of the teeth is of a com- 
 paratively soft nature, and wears away upon the grinding sub- 
 stances in a ragged and uneven manner, so that their teeth 
 severely cut and lacerate the tongue and cheeks; or, by a driver 
 repeatedly lugging on one rein or the other, hard, sharp, spurlike 
 points are formed or irregularly grown on the borders of the 
 teeth, which become an exciting cause of injury to the gums and 
 membranes of the mouth, impairing the natural processes of 
 mastication and contributing at the same time to a bad way of 
 going. Also the animal may suffer from toothache, due to a 
 displaced crownof a temporary molar, or from ulceration, which 
 will cause him to champ fretfully upon the bit and lurch to one 
 side in such sudden manner that he "loses his feet" becoming 
 entirely unbalanced in his gait. If a horse pulls his head 
 and neck out of a line with the median plane of his body, the 
 hind limb on that side is correspondingly misdirected, and his 
 foot is forced to land between the front ones instead of in a line 
 with them; thus cross-firing naturally impairs the steadiness of 
 his gait and injuries are liable to occur from it. If a humane 
 treatment of the teeth is pursued by people w^ho own horses, they 
 will obviate these changes of locomotion, and at the same time 
 be amply repaid by the improved appearance of their animals, 
 through proper mastication of their food, and by their general 
 order of improvement.

 THE HORSE'S AGE AND HOW TO DETERMINE IT 
 BY THE APPEARANCE OF THE TEETH. 
 
 In from eight to fourteen days after birth the first or middle 
 nippers of the set of milk teeth are cut (see Figure 1); in four 
 to six weeks afterwards the next pair will be cut (see Figure 2); 
 and at the age of six to eight months the last set will be cut (see 
 Figure 3). At two years of age the inner wall of the corner 
 teeth has grown up level with the outer w^all, and the center 
 teeth show considerable wear and appear somewhat smaller 
 than they did in the yearling. 
 
 At three years of age the two center milk teeth are shed and 
 permanent incisors come in, so that at three years of age the jaw 
 contains two permanent center teeth and two milk teeth on either 
 side (see Figure 4). At four years of age the next two milk 
 teeth are shed and replaced by permanent teeth, so that at this 
 age the jaw contains four permanent and two milk teeth (see 
 Figure 5). 
 
 The tusks appear on the lowerjaw on either side betw^een the 
 incisors and molars at four, and continue to grow until the horse 
 is five years old and past. 
 
 At tive years ofagethe two remaining milk teeth are shed and 
 replaced by permanent ones, so that at this age the jaw has a full 
 set (six permanent incisors); but the corner teeth have no inner 
 walls and by this you can easily tell a five- from a six-year-old 
 mouth (see Figure 6). 
 
 At six years of age the inner wall of the corner teeth has 
 grown up level with the outer wall (see Figure 7). The mouth 
 is now complete in incisors and no further structural changes 
 take place. 
 
 Between the ages of three and five the cups are very plain in 
 all the permanent teeth, but at six the cups are wearing and at 
 seven have disappeared from the center teeth and are wearing 
 out of the two adjacent ones, and are seen plainly only in the 
 corner teeth (see Figure 8). 
 
 At eight years of age the marks have disappeared from all but 
 the corner teeth and can hardly be seen in these (see Figure 9). 
 
 ALWAYS FOLLOW DIRECTIONS CAREFULLY. 
 
20 
 
 DR. J. G. LESURE'S VETERINARY REMEDIES 
 
 At nine years of age the marks have usually disappeared from 
 all the teeth, but there may still be a trace of the enamel which 
 lined the original hollow (see Figure 10). 
 
 At twelve or thirteen the last traces of the enamel have disap- 
 peared and the lower teeth all show a rounded section (see 
 Figure 11). 
 
 Figure 16. Four years. 
 
 At fourteen (see Figure 12), and from that to seventeen years 
 of age (see Figure 13), the teeth are triangler in form, the 
 center ones at fourteen, the middle ones at fifteen, and the corner 
 ones at sixteen or seventeen. 
 
 At eighteen years of age (see Figure 14) the teeth lengthen 
 and become contracted and at twenty or twenty-one the teeth 
 loose their triangler shape (see Figure 15). 
 
 The above rules, however, do not hold good in all cases. They 
 may vary according to circumstances. The hardness or softness 
 of the teeth, and the food of the animal will in some cases change

 the time required to wear out the mark. Western horses which 
 graze on the tough, but nutritious native grasses will not retain 
 their mark as long as horses raised on well cultivated farms and 
 pastures. 
 
 Constant gnawing of the animal, called cribbing, is also con- 
 ducive to wearing the teeth off rapidly. When the upper teeth 
 
 Figure 17. Five years. 
 
 project over and in front of the low^er, a condition called * ' parrot 
 mouth," no wear of the incisors takes place. In this state it is 
 impossible for the horse to graze in the pastures. Sometimes 
 the lower jaw projects beyond the upper, but this condition is 
 very rare. 
 
 The marks or cups in the upper teeth remain visible much 
 longer than in the lower teeth, the hollow on the upper incisors,

 which are larger and longer than the lower ones, being nearly 
 twice as deep. 
 
 At the age of seven (figure 18) the narrow lower corner in- 
 cisors begin to wear the upper ones into a well-defined angle. 
 This angle becomes more marked at eight and when a horse 
 becomes nine years old it appears as a deep notch. Sometimes 
 the corners have been rasped off with the intention to deceive a

 prospective purchaser as to the age of the horse, but unless this 
 is done they are always present. 
 
 A yellowish transverse line, most marked in the two center 
 incisors, and indistinct in the others, appears at eight years. This 
 is called the dental star, and is very useful in determining the 
 age after the ninth year, when determination by the teeth becomes 
 difficult and uncertain. After the twelfth 3^ear the age can only 
 be approximately determined. We have no positive means for 
 finding the age of a horse after sixteen 3^ears, and a most careful 
 examination of the teeth, gums, head and frame is necessary to 
 find the approximate age. It is much better judgment to say

 that a horse is about eighteen, twenty, twenty-one or twenty- 
 four, than to pronounce an old horse "eighteen past," or ''rising 
 twenty" after a lengthy examination of the mouth. 
 
 A gradual change takes place in the dental star, until at fifteen 
 it can be found near the center of the tables or the tops of the 
 teeth. At that age the dental star is distinct and round in all the 
 lower incisors.

 If a horse's tongue projects over the bars, it is a sign that he 
 has done over twelve years of hard service at poor food and ill 
 treatment. 
 
 Young horses have tables which are broad in the direction of 
 the jaw, while the tables in old horses are round or broad and 
 perpendicular to the jaw. 
 
 In figures 16, 17 and 19 can be seen the difference between the 
 teeth of young and old horses. In young horses (figures 16 and 
 17) they come together at a very obtuse angle, almost in a line,

 while in old horses the angle is so small as to make the lower 
 teeth appear like a prolongation of the jaw. 
 
 In figure 20 are shown a series of cross-sections cut from the 
 three right lower incisors of a five-year-old horse, illustrating the 
 wear in the top surface of the incisors. The top sections are long 
 in the direction of thejaw, 1 and 2; oval in the next three sections, 
 3, 4 and 5 ; rounded forms in 6, 7, 8 and 9 ; triangular or long 
 from front to rear in 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, and 16. The first 
 shapes are those of the 3^oung horse, while the last belong to the 
 old horse. 
 
 The process called ''bishoping" consists in rasping off the 
 corners of the notches in the upper teeth and burning new marks

 or cups in the lower ones. This method is sometimes resorted to 
 in order to fraudently give the mouth of the horse a more 
 youthful appearance. 
 
 It is very seldom practical, however, as the method is very 
 troublesome, the chances for detection great, and the ages of 
 ordinary horses are not of such importance as to justify the risk 
 attendantupon the operation, while the ages of valuable horses 
 are matters of record, and it would be a difficult matter to deceive 
 experienced horsemen. 
 
 Bishoped teeth can easily be detected . Simply remember that 
 the shape of the teeth in young and old horses is entirely dif- 
 ferent, and that w^hen the natural mark exists it is surrounded by

 ADVICE TO TEAMSTERS. 
 
 First, a driver should always be kind to his team. See that 
 they are fed regularly with good clean feed. Cracked corn and 
 oats, with a sprinkle of bran, make, with good hay, the best of 
 all feeds. Avoid cheap stock foods. They are like cheap whiskey 
 to a drinker; they get accustomed to it and must always have it.

 27 
 
 Any firm that tells you that you will have to feed their food or 
 medicine all the time to keep your horses healthy are deceiving 
 you to get your or your employer's money. 
 
 When you do need a tonic or renovator get the very best you 
 can find ; the best of anything is always the cheapest.

 A piece of rock salt should always be left where the horse 
 can reach it; it won't eat too much. See that the harnesses are 
 kept soft, that the collar fits snug, with just room enough at the 
 bottom to stick your hand through. If the collar is too large you 
 are apt to get the draft too low, which causes intense misery 
 and sore shoulders. Never check a team horse up tight ; give

 him all the freedom of head possible. If he could talk he would 
 thank you for it. See that your team is always shod well with 
 toe calks, especially behind, as that is where all the propelling 
 force comes from when heavy loaded. Keep the hoofs good and 
 strong with Dr. Lesure's Electric Hoof Ointment. Never allow 
 the shoer to cut away the frog. It is both foolish and ignorant. 
 A light whip and good judgment will accomplish much. Re- 
 member the horse is a noble, proud, and sensitive animal, the 
 most useful known to man, and is deserving of the greatest 
 kindness at all times. Many horses are abused and suffer much 
 from bad treatment by inexperienced men. 
 
 SPECIAL WORDS OF CAUTION* 
 
 If your horse has been driven hard, and is a little sore and stiff 
 afterwards, it is mostly your fault, for lack of a little attention 
 at the proper time. Every horseman, especially liverymen, and 
 where driving horses are kept, should always keep Dr. Lesure's 
 Fever Drops and Cough and Tonic Drops on hand, so that when 
 a horse comes in after a hard drive he can first give him thirty 
 drops of Fever Drops, following it in thirty minutes with the 
 same dose of Cough and Tonic Drops. You will find he won't 
 chill, in winter ; and in summer, will cool off more rapidly, and 
 soon revive his spirits, and be ready to eat a good feed. 
 
 No veterinary surgeon can offer you a better or cheaper treat- 
 ment than this. One trial will convince any man. Many a horse 
 is ruined for life in consequence of neglect or want of proper 
 care after severe exertion, as above noted.

 VETERINARY COLIC CURE 
 
 The Sovereign Remedy for Colic, 
 Cramps, Spasmodic or Flatu-

 and Black Water. 
 
 Remember that Dr. Lesure^s Colic 
 Cwre,put up in two bottles, marked No. 
 1 and No. 2, is the original and first 
 remedy for Colic put up in that style 
 in the United States; but there are 
 many imitations. 
 
 It is an acknowledged fact that more 
 horses die ever3^ j^ear of Colic than of 
 all other non-contagious diseases com- 
 bined. And there is nothing more dis- 
 quieting than to find that your horse 
 has a sharp attack of Colic, as you 
 know that it must be relieved in a 
 short time or he will die. 
 
 I have treated Colic for thirty years^ 
 and have used nearly all kinds of medi-

 I struck a combination of 
 
 drugs that do what I want 
 
 them to; i. e., cure in every 
 
 case and leave the horse fit 
 
 to go to work without further 
 
 treatment. And since using 
 
 this cure I have never lost a 
 
 case of Colic. I have sold it 
 
 on the market for over 
 
 twenty-five years and never 
 
 have heard of a man losing a 
 
 horse that was treated with second stage of spasmodic colic. 
 
 this cure, if administered in 
 
 any reasonable time and no other medicine given. 
 
 '/ have sold a package of Colic Cure to stablemen that w^ere 
 
 using doses of from two 
 ounces to a pint, and when I 
 saw them later and asked 
 them what results they ob- 
 tained from it they said, "I 
 did not dare to risk it and 
 used my old remedy"; and in 
 other cases I have found men 
 that had given one or two 
 doses, and, when the horse 
 had a spasm, became fright- 
 ened and went for their large dose, and their horse died ; but 
 
 none that stuck to my medicines. I would say to one and all 
 
 that no one need hesitate be- 
 cause the dose is only thirty 
 
 drops, as thirty drops of the 
 
 right medicine beats the large 
 
 bottleful by long odds, as it 
 
 leaves the horse in much bet- 
 ter condition when relieved. 
 A package of this Colic 
 
 Cure is as good as a paid up 
 
 insurance policy against loss

 it cures, is easy to give, is free from opiates, and leaves the horse 
 in normal condition, ready for work. It is also a remedy for 
 stoppage of w^ater, and black water ; and the treatment is the 
 same as for Colic. 
 
 The average horseman will find it difficult to diagnose all 
 cases correctly, but with this remedy all cases can be treated 
 alike; with positive results. 
 
 There are two forms of Colic, Spasmodic and Flatulent, al- 
 though almost any abdominal trouble causing irritation and 
 pain is generally called Colic; and I will sa}^ here, that it is safe to 
 give a dose of Colic Cure any time that a horse acts as though 
 he is in pain, as it is perfectly safe and may prevent more serious 
 trouble. 
 
 Spasmodic Colic is a contraction or spasm of the muscular 
 fibers of the small intestines; it comes on very suddenly and many 
 times very severely, without any apparent cause, but generally 
 results from over-draught of cold water on an empt3^ stomach, 
 or a draught of wind causing a sudden change of temperature 
 in the system, and consequently pain. The s^-mptoms vary ac- 
 cording to the severity of the case ; many times there is only a 
 slight cramping or griping, but more often the attack is so severe 
 as to cause the most intense pain, and to cause the horse to paw, 
 get up and down furiousl}^ roll over, and get up and throw him- 
 self violently, straining as though he would pass water, but 
 unable to because the spasm contracts the muscles of the neck 
 of the bladder, as well as the whole body; but as the spasm gives 
 weij and the pain subsides, he will generall3^ pass water, which 
 is a good symptom, as it shows that the muscles are relaxing.

 Flatulent Colic differs from spasmodic. In Flatulent Colic 
 there is a formation of gas caused by undigested or sour food in 
 the stomach, and it may be brought on by a change of feed, by 
 poor and musty feed, or by heavy feed on a tired stomach. The 
 food when sour will ferment ; then gas will generate, the horse 
 will look bloated, and you may know that you have a case of 
 Flatulent Colic.

 SURFEIT SCARLATINA. 
 
 Surfeit is of common occurrence, especially in the spring and 
 summer months among horses that have been cruelly or injudi- 
 ciously treated. Sudden changes from heat to cold, and over- 
 feeding or taking too much cold water into the stomach when 
 in a heated condition, are frequent causes. 
 
 Symptoms. — It first makes its appearance with many small 
 pimples under the skin on sides of body, and particularly along 
 the neck underneath the mane. There is a partial falling of the 
 hair and a constant itching ; the lumps sometimes open, discharg- 
 ing a yellowish fluid, the horse often becoming almost covered 
 with small scabs. The hair on the mane and tail will be nearly 
 rubbed off, and the little remaining will stand erect. 
 
 Treatment. — Change the food to bran mash, adding a Reno- 
 vator Powder and two teaspoonfuls of flowers of sulphur twice 
 a day for a week. Give the Cough and Tonic drops twice a day 
 to keep the kidneys acting freely. Wash the affected parts 
 twice a day with a solutipn of two ounces Karbo Cream to one 
 quart of warm water. In some cases where there is constipation 
 it is w^ell to give a purge of Barbados Aloes or oil (see 
 Physicking). 
 
 SPASMODIC THUMPS. 
 
 A nervous affection of the Diaphragm and general muscular 
 system. Great excitement and overdriving, especially when long 
 continued, are the most direct causes for Thumps. 
 
 Symptoms. — An exaggerated, heavy, or thumping motion of 
 the flanks, and quivering of the muscles. 
 
 Treatment. — Give two 60-drop doses of Dr. Lesure's Colic 
 Cure ten minutes apart ; then follow with 30-drop doses fifteen 
 minutes apart until the horse is relieved. Blanket warm and 
 keep surroundings as quiet as possible. Feed bran mashes adding 
 a Renovator Powder for a week. No other treatment is required.

 DSLESURE 
 
 I want to impress the reader at once with 
 the one important fact that fever remedies, 
 no matter by whom they may be put up, are 
 virtually intended for the same purpose, first 
 to reduce the temperature to a normal con- 
 dition, and second to allay inflammation. 
 When that is accomplished, the fever medi- 
 cine should be laid aside at once and tonics 
 used instead ; for you must never forget the 
 great essential fact that w^here there is no 
 fever or inflammation, fever medicine invari- 
 ably does more harm than good. Some un- 
 scrupulous veterinar}^ medicine dealers, who 
 know nothing at all about the general an- 
 atom^^ of the parts they call your attention 
 to, give their remed3^so many names "only 
 to get your money," to impress the reader 
 with their instructions that, no matter what 
 ails his animal — whether it be chills, fever, 
 congestion, or inflammation of the lungs or 
 bow^els, w^hich need fever medicine ; or 
 whether it be distemper or one of the many catarrhal troubles 
 which affect only the head and throat, with no internal fever 
 or congestion whatever — you should treat them all alike out 
 of their one-bottle "cure-all." Let me advise 3^ou, Mr. Horse- 
 man, that no reliable medicine dealer wall resort to such methods 
 to get trade from an unsuspecting public. Diseases of the re- 
 spiratory organs are the most treacherous domestic animals are 
 subject to, and should be treated not only with intelligence but 
 also with great care and patience. Good nursing is of the 
 greatest importance at the start ; that, with a liberal amount of 
 the best remedies obtainable at hand, will, in the majority of 
 
 KEEP A GOOD SUPPLY OF REMEDIES ON HAND. 
 
36 DR. J. G. LESURE'S VETERINARY REMEDIES 
 
 cases, bring the desired result. I have seen so many valuable 
 horses ruined by being overdosed with fever medicine long after 
 all fever had subsided, that I determined to formulate a treat- 
 ment that would have the approval of all intelligent live stock 
 owners who would have occasion to use it. 
 
 Shipping Fever, caused by change of climate or sudden atmos- 
 pheric changes while in transportation, or change from warm to 
 cold stables, or vice versa, generally starts with a short cough, 
 swollen glands, and sore throat, followed by high fever and con- 
 gested kidneys. Give at once Dr. Lesure's Fever Drops in 30- 
 drop doses every hour until fever is reduced. After that, two 
 or three doses a day will be enough to keep the temperature 
 normal. Give in connection four to six doses a day of Dr. 
 Lesure's Cough and Tonic Drops. This remedy is a great tonic 
 and diuretic, and acts directly on the stomach, liver, and kidneys, 
 throwing off all poisonous excretions, and starting the flow of 
 urine, which is very necessary in this trouble. If your horse 
 shows weakness and won't eat, give him two doses of Dr. 
 Lesure's Renovator Powders a day, either in his drink or in a 
 syrup mass placed on the tongue. Rub Dr. Lesure's Liniment on 
 neck. This will reduce the swollen glands. 
 
 Paralysis, Azoturia, etc. — These troubles have become of 
 late years very common, especially among city horses that are 
 highly fed. The attack is very alarming in its aspect, often 
 occuring very suddenly with great severity, producing complete 
 loss of power of the hind quarters. If treated promptly and 
 intelligently it is readily cured in most cases, but if neglected or 
 treated improperly it is sure to prove fatal. 
 
 Causes.— It troubles only horses that are in full flesh or have 
 been accustomed to hard work and fed heavily on grain food, 
 and then been suddenly allowed to remain in stable for a few 
 days on full feed, same as when they were worked daily, thus 
 forming more blood than the system can dispose of The organs 
 become overloaded; and consequently, under increased action by 
 the animal being put to work suddenly again, they become 
 congested. 
 
 Symptoms.— The animal is apparently in good spirits; he 
 starts off" as usual, but soon stops suddenly ; is much distressed ; 
 the sweat starts all over the body, running off in streams ; he

 puffs and blows with heaving flanks ; he cannot be forced to move 
 for several minutes, and finally drops his hind quarters to the 
 ground, one or both legs acting as if twisted or broken; pulse 
 ver3^high, in some cases running up to ninety or over per minute; 
 the muscles of hindquarters are swollen and rigid. In some cases 
 he may not be able to arise from the first attack, but in most 
 cases loss of powder is not complete nor sensibility entirely lost 
 in first stages. The urine soon becomes very high colored, which 
 is almost always passed with great difficulty. 
 
 Treatment. — When treated in the first stages it is well to take 
 away four quarts of blood at once, empty the bladder by drawing 
 the urine with a catheter, give one ounce of aloes or a pint of 
 raw linseed oil, and give Dr. Lesure's Colic Cure every half 
 hour until six doses are given. If there is fever, give a few 
 30-drop doses Dr. Lesure's Fever Drops until the temperature 
 becomes normal ; after that leave off giving the Fever Drops and 
 give full doses of Dr. Lesure's Cough and Tonic Drops three or 
 four times a day until the horse gets up. Persistent applications 
 of hot- water blankets over the kidneys, as hot as the horse can 
 stand them, changing every thirty minutes for three hours, will 
 be found the very best kind of treatment. It may seem laborious 
 to many horsemen to apply this treatment properh^, but it will 
 go a long way toward saving your horse, if you apply it faithfully 
 as above directed. Adding spirits of turpentine to the hot water 
 v^ill aid much in relieving the congested parts. It is not at all 
 necessary when treating for Azoturia to put the horse in slings; 
 in fact better results will be obtained without them if the horse 
 is turned over every four hours, and between turning left to lie 
 as quietly as possible. Neither should the horse be urged to get 
 up too soon, as he will make the effort himself when able to stand 
 up. Injections of soap and water should always be given and 
 the legs should be rubbed with Dr. Lesure's Liniment, which 
 will relax the muscles and stimulate circulation while the horse 
 is down. Most cases will yield to the above treatment, and in 
 from three to five days the horse will recover his general health. 
 
 I want to impress the fact that in all nervous diseases good 
 nursing is indispensable at every stage. Give mild diet, hay tea, 
 carrots well cooked, bran mashes, etc., and add two doses of Dr. 
 Lesure's Renovator Powders daily to keep up strength during 
 recovery.

 Inflatntnation of the Bowels. — Sometimes called red colic, 
 and many times mistaken for colic, but differing from colic in 
 every respect, being of a peculiar independent character. In 
 many cases it proves fatal. It is generally caused by extreme con- 
 stipation or over-loading of the stomach, or succeeds colic when 
 the horse has been given large doses of very strong medicine, 
 like turpentine, chloroform, etc., causing great irritation, which 
 in many instances leads to inflammation, enteritis, etc. Hard 
 driving until the weakened animal scours profusely, then water- 
 ing when very warm, will many times cause Inflammation of the 
 Bowels. 
 
 Symptoms. — It generally begins with some uneasiness. The 
 mouth is hot and dry; the inner membranes of the mouth, nose, 
 and eyelids are often much redder than natural ; as the disease 
 advances the pain is almost constant. The horse will lie down 
 more carefully than in colic and rise more frequently when the 
 attack is very violent. He kicks at his belly or looks around at 
 his sides, pawing his litter almost continually. The pulse is 
 unusually quick and hard ; breathing is quickened ; the extremi- 
 ties are alternately hot and cold, but continue longer cold than 
 hot. Mostly constipated ; sometimes the pain may force away 
 a few hardened balls, but the principal contents of the bowels 
 are retained. 
 
 I have given the distinguishing features between this disease 
 and colic so plainly that I feel the ordinary horseman should be 
 able to decide between them. 
 
 Trea tment. — Must be active and immediate or a fatal termina- 
 tion may be expected. Give at once one pint of raw linseed oil, 
 following in thirty minutes with six ounces epsom salts in warm

 Dr. J. G. Lesure. Keene, N. H. 
 
 Dear Sir: 1 have for some time past used your various Remedies and 
 Tonics for horses, and consider them far superior to all others. Your 
 Cough and Fever Drops and Colic Cure I would especially recommend; as 
 I have used them with the best results upon extremely difficult cases, 
 where other remedies have failed, I can vouch for their efficiency, and am 
 pleased to recommend them to all horsemen and owners. I would not 
 consider my stable fully equipped, or my horses properly cared for, did 1 
 not keep a full outfit of Dr. Lesure's Medicines constantly on hand. 
 
 Yours very truly,

 water. Give alternately 30-drop doses of Dr. Lesure'^olicCure 
 and Fever Drops to relieve the pain and keep down inflammation 
 until six or eight doses are given. Give copious injections into 
 the rectum of warm soap and water, insert the hand well greased, 
 and carefully remove all hard lumps, thus aiding the injections. 
 Rub one-fourth of the contents of a bottle of Dr. Lesure's Lini- 
 ment over the belly , and wrap blanket around body to retain heat. 
 Repeat in one-half hour. After you get a clear passage through 
 the horse the symptoms will abate, and the horse will slowly 
 recover, but he should be fed sparingly at first, with the addition 
 of a Renovator Powder twice a day, which will cause him to gain 
 strength rapidly. 
 
 Spinal Meningitis. — This disease has become quite common 
 of late years amongcity horses, but not very common in country 
 towns. It seems to attack horses mostly that stop and start often 
 on heavy loads, getting hard strains on the loins. Sometimes it 
 will suddenly appear in certain sections, to the extent that it 
 would seem like an epidemic. It appears mostly in the spring, 
 during cold, damp, and changeable weather. 
 
 Symptoms. — Dullness; hates to move; pains and stiffness, es- 
 pecially in turning around ; sometimes little or no use of hind 
 parts ; soreness of spine ; pulse not much increased at first, but 
 becoming more rapid as the disease advances ; has a distressed 
 look; will sometimes fall down; cannot rise; has no use of hind 
 parts. The urine is often scanty and suppressed, and the horse 
 very costive. The disease is often fatal, in severe attacks, in 
 two or three days, but may continue longer; the recovery is 
 slow if the animal lives. 
 
 ALWAYS FOLLOW DIRECTIONS CAREFULLY. 
 
40 DR. J. G. LESURE'S VETERINARY REMEDIES 
 
 Treatment. — Give thirty drops of Dr. Lesure's Fever Drops, 
 and in an hour give the same of No. 1 Colic Cure, and so con- 
 tinue, giving once an hour in alternation for six hours; then once 
 in two hours, until the improvement is considerable ; and then 
 the intervals may be made longer. After the fever subsides, should 
 the urine become scanty. Dr. Lesure's Cough and Tonic Drops 
 should be used in place of Fever Drops until the excretion of 
 urine becomes normal. After the worst symptoms have passed, 
 and the fever is gone, a dose of No. 1 Colic Cure, given four 
 times a day, will be sufficient; but if fever should return, give 
 an occasional dose of Fever Drops. The horse should have a 
 large, roomy place with plenty of good air, and be kept warm 
 and have plenty of bedding, and should be turned over. Rub 
 my Liniment on the back and loins occasionally, put on freely 
 and cover with folded blankets so as to steam ; some may be 
 rubbed on the legs. Feed bran mashes ; a few carrots are good 
 and a little good hay. The horse should have rest some time 
 after he recovers. 
 
 DISEASES OF RESPIRATORY ORGANS. 
 
 Chill— This is a term used to designate a transitory condition 
 of the system, which may terminate in a severe inflammatory 
 disease of some important organ, of which this is the first symp- 
 tom, and should not be neglected, as serious consequences may 
 follow. Many febril troubles of a serious nature are preceded 
 by a chill, and if it is treated at once, further trouble will usually 
 be prevented. 
 
 Causes. — The causes are : Being exposed to draught, drinking 
 toomuchcold water in very hot or very cold weather when tired, 
 or being placed in a cold, damp stable. It is most likely to occur 
 when the system is in a debilitated condition ; consequently look 
 out for it.

 Dear Sir: I have used Dr. Lesure's Horse Medicines for many years, 
 and would as soon be without ha3- and grain [as without them] in my

 Symptoms. — Dullness; not much disposition to eat; hair starts 
 up and looks rough; then a violent trembling sets in; there will 
 be no fever to commence with, but it will soon follow, if the 
 attack is not checked at once. 
 
 Treatment. — As soon as possible put on a warm blanket — two 
 are better; then give thirty drops of Dr. Lesure's Fever Drops. 
 Give the legs a good hand rubbing and bandage, if convenient; 
 in thirty minutes give another dose of Fever Drops, and so fol- 
 low up until respiration starts freely. Then be careful not to 
 let the animal cool too suddenly. This will in nearly every case 
 prevent further trouble; but if more serious trouble should arise, 
 treat as under proper head given elsewhere. 
 
 Pleurisy, Pneumonia, and Lung Fever are all affections of 
 the lungs; and the symptoms are nearly the same. Odds can be 
 detected only by an expert, and all yield to the same treatment. 
 
 Symptoms.— RQfusQS food; very thirsty; fever running high; 
 breathes short and fast; lungs sore to pressure; mouth hot and 
 dry; pulse quick and hard; disinclined to turn around; coughs 
 some, which gives great pain ; urine scanty and high colored ; 
 will usually persist in standing, although in some cases is likely 
 to lie down for a few minutes; moving always causing more or 
 less pain. 
 
 Treatment.— Get the horse into a good, room^^ place, with 
 plenty of fresh air and plenty of bedding; keep well blanketed, 
 but not overheated ; give the legs a good hand rubbing occa- 
 sionally; bandage if convenient; give all the water he w^ants, in 
 small quantities. Give thirty drops of Dr. Lesure's Fever 
 Drops every hour for twelve hours ; rub Dr. Lesure's Liniment 
 well into the sides and chest ; after twelve hours, if the fever 
 begins to subside, the intervals may be made longer between 
 doses; give Dr. Lesure's Cough and Tonic Drops night and

 Dear Sir: It is with great pleasure I write you a testimonial to the 
 good quality of Dr. Lesure's Aledicines. 
 
 I have used and sold them for the last ten years and have found them 
 entirely satisfactory both to myself and patrons, and cannot too strongly 
 recommend them to owners of horses and cattle.

 morning, as this will act greatly to relieve the soreness of the 
 lungs. Feed bran mashes, Renovator Powders, and a little good 
 hay, if the horse will eat ; if not, give hay tea to keep up its 
 strength ; scalded oats will do no harm. This treatment will 
 carry most cases through successfully. 
 
 Tonsilitis is an affection of the throat, 
 and may extend to the larynx, or 
 upper part of the windpipe, and some- 
 times becomes very dangerous. The 
 throat becomes very sore and much 
 swollen, and at times is accompanied 
 with high fever, making it nearly im- 
 possible to eat or drink. 
 
 Treatment.— GivQ fifteen drops of Dr. 
 Lesure's Fever Drops every hour until 
 fever subsides, then at longer intervals 
 as seems best ; keep the throat warm ; 
 rub Dr. Lesure's Liniment on throat ; a 
 hot poultice is excellent, changed once 
 in two hours. Keep the horse out of 
 draughts, well blanketed, and feed any 
 thing that he will eat. Feed my Renovator Powders every day 
 for two weeks.

 Symptoms. — Acts dumpish; moves clumsily; eyes swollen and 
 red, tears trickling down ; has more or less fever; hind legs be- 
 come swollen, frequently first one and then the other, extending 
 to the body and out on the belly; appetite poor; sometimes 
 shows signs of sore throat, and has some cough. 
 
 Treatment.— First exclude strong light, then give twenty 
 drops of Dr. Lesure's Fever Drops once an hour for six hours ; 
 then alternate with Dr. Lesure's Cough and Tonic Drops once 
 in two hours, making the medicine come every hour. Follow this 
 treatment until there is a marked improvement, and then the 
 intervals between doses maybe made longer according to case ; 
 when fever has fully subsided, the Fever Drops maybe omitted, 
 but continue the Cough and Tonic Drops until well. Keep the 
 horse as quiet as possible, as exercise tends to excite the 
 disease; feed soft and easily digested food. 
 
 In£uenza. — This trouble al- 
 most invariably affects horses 
 shipped a long distance, from 
 change of climate, but some- 
 times as an epidemic from 
 certain atmospheric changes. 
 The symptoms are too well 
 knowm to all horsemen to 
 need any description. 
 
 Treatment.— li the horse 
 shows signs of fever, give Dr. 
 Lesure's Fever Drops in 20-drop doses, occasionally alternating 
 with Cough and Tonic Drops ; give once in from one to four 
 hours, according to the case, but where there is only a little cough 
 and discharge at the nose, give the Cough and Tonic Drops night 
 and morning; feed most anything that the horse will eat.

 VETERINARY 
 
 Q DROPS ^ 
 
 Are a powerful Tonic, Diuretic and Ex- 
 pectorant for Coughs, Colds, Indigestion, 
 Loss of Appetite, General Debility, etc., 
 and will, if given in time, ward off all con- 
 tagious diseases that are proving so fatal 
 among horses. It is especially adapted to 
 horses with weak kidne^^s. It will cleanse 
 the system of all impurities, and will show 
 its effects in the urine within twenty-four 
 hours, and greatly improve the general con- 
 dition in a very short time. 
 
 Its concentrated form and great cheap- 
 ness recommend it, it being given in 30- 
 drop doses, 50 doses for 50 cents, 150 
 doses $1.00. 
 
 If your horse coughs, has broken wind, 
 does not shed his old coat, loses flesh, does not eat or digest 
 his food, scours, is dull and logy, and you wish to fit him up 
 finely and quickly, try this medicine. 
 
 Coughs come from an irritation of the throat or lungs 
 caused by colds, overexertion, bad feed, etc. 
 
 Treatment. — Give Dr. Lesure's Cough and Tonic Drops night 
 and morning; its continued use cures the worst cases. 
 
 Heaves are caused by overexertion when lungs are sore 
 and inflamed, and can be relieved and many times cured by the 
 continued use of Dr. Lesure's Cough and Tonic Drops, with 
 Renovator Powders. Dr. Lesure's Cough and Tonic Drops have 
 become indispensable to shippers of horses, and are used by 
 nearly all shippers throughout the country, as it keeps the cough 
 loose and prevents it from getting on the lungs, and brings 
 the horse out, fit for work, in one-half the time otherwise. 
 
 Bloody Urine is generally the result of bad food, injuries ol 
 the loins, or severe strains. Give plenty of linseed tea ; if the 
 horse refuses to drink it, give drench. Give every hour Dr. 
 Lesure's Cough and Tonic Drops until six doses are given.

 RENOVATOR POWDER. 
 
 the genuine D r . 
 Renovator Powders, look for 
 the Doctor's picture on each 
 dose box, on the inside as 
 well as on the outside cover. 
 When you find that, you 
 have the genuine article. Dr. 
 Lesure's Powders are put up 
 in two sizes. The 50c. size 
 contains twelve doses, and the 
 $1.00 size contains thirty 
 doses, two and one-half times 
 as much as the 50c. size, be- 
 ing forty days' treatment for 
 
 a full-grown horse. I do not put forth the claim that many of 
 my imitators and cheap stock food venders claim for their stock 
 in trade, that I will make your horse fat on my Renovator or 
 convert a scrub into a thoroughbred by using it for a time. Every 
 intelligent horseo wnerkno ws full well that any firm puttingforth 
 such an argument are either very ignorant of the subject they 
 attempt to advise you on, or both wilful and cheerful falsifiers, 
 
 for what they hope to gain 
 from you financially. I will 
 prove, however, to any horse- 
 owner, or refund him his 
 money if I fail, that my Reno- 
 vator Powders are not only 
 the very best but also the 
 cheapest pure Tonic Medicine 
 in powder form it is possible 
 for him to purchase to pu- 
 rify and enrich the blood, 
 strengthen the digestive or- 
 gans, cause a proper flow of 
 urine, and cleanse the whole 
 system through the stomach, 
 liver and kidneys. After that 
 is accomplished, its mission is 
 ended. Good clean hay and 
 grain in proper proportions, fed at regular intervals, will fatten

 him for you, after the blood and digestive organs are right, 
 quicker and better than all the medicine or stock food in 
 existence. 
 
 Another class of venders v^dll tell you that it is necessary to 
 feed their powders or food every day in the year to keep your 
 stock healthy. What would you think of your family physician 
 were he to tell you it was necessary that you take his treatment 
 every day in the year to keep yourself or family well? There 
 are hundreds of large owners of horses and cattle who have been 
 constant users of my Veterinary Medicines for many years with 
 entire satisfaction, who make it a rule to treat all their stock 
 with Dr. Lesure's Renovator Powders both spring and fall sea- 
 sons for a few weeks. This builds up the system at the time it 
 is most needed, while the animal is growing a new coat. After 
 that period one or two doses a week for the balance of the 
 year will be all that is needed to keep any animal in a high 
 state of health. 
 
 These powders will be found of great value for horses that 
 are kept for light harness pleasure driving, especially when they 
 do not get regular dail^^ exercise, lack of which has a great ten- 
 dency to weaken digestion. It is very easy to overdo fine well- 
 bred horses, as they are possessed of great courage and can easily 
 be driven beyond their limit of endurance. This comes about 
 through the very irregular work they have to perform, which

 Dear Sir: As it is coming spring and I find my medicine case low, and 
 knowing that I cannot afford to be without your Medicines in the stable, 
 kindly send me at once the following order by express :

 makes it very difficult to keep them in perfect condition. My 
 Renovator Powder will keep the blood right, aid digestion, and 
 keep driving horses looking well and in fine spirits at all times. 
 All private stables should keep a little assortment of Dr. Lesure's 
 Colic Cure, Fever Drops, Renovator Powders, Cough and Tonic 
 Drops, Hoof Ointment, and Worm Pov^^ders always on hand. 
 They are good things to have around at all times. They will 
 save much worry, time, trouble and expense. In cases of emer- 
 gency you will find a few doses of any of these Remedies in 
 the nick of time will save many days of attempted cure where 
 the ailment has gone beyond the primary stage, which is very 
 often the case before a skilled surgeon can be secured, as he may 
 be away treating some other case when you need him most. 
 
 I have been in receipt of constant inquiries, ever since I first 
 put the Renovator Powders on the market many years ago, 
 asking me to sell it to customers in bulk in box or barrel lots. 
 I wish to state that many of the ingredients that go into these 
 powders would lose much of their strength and medicinal qual- 
 ities if put up in bulk and left to stand around open, exposed to 
 the air, which is generally the case with all goods put up and 
 handled in bulk form. The result would be a loss to the user 
 and an injury as well, for the customer would naturally think I

 Dear Sir : For the past four years we have been using your Veterinary 
 Medicines, and at no time without the very best results. Especially do we 
 advise all owners of horses to use your Fever Drops and Colic Cure. We 
 are receiving a car-load of horses each week direct from the country, and 
 about all we ask is, that they land alive, for if taken in fairly good time, 
 we can save them with your Medicines. We cheerfully recommend them to 
 all owners of horses. We would not be without them.

 was cheating him. That is why I put each dose up separately 
 in compact paper boxes, which are almost air-tight, thus keeping 
 them in perfect condition until used ; also to get just the proper 
 amount in each dose package, which is sure to give much better 
 results than when giving medicine in unequal quantities. Often- 
 times customers that buy Dr. Lesure's Renovator Powders, when 
 called on by one of our salesmen next trip, will have almost one- 
 half of what we sold him before on hand. When asked why this 
 is or if he does not like the Renovator, the reply invariably is, 
 ''Oh yes, they are the finest powders I ever used, but they are 
 too expensive to use in all cases. I use such and such a powder 
 or food right along, but only use Dr. Lesure's Renovator in the 
 more serious cases or Avhere a horse gets pretty sick." A little 
 further interrogation will bring out the fact that this man has 
 invested in hundreds of pounds, in the meantime, of some cheap 
 article and fed it all up simply because it was cheap, when in 
 fact it had cost him more money than my Renovator would 
 have cost him ; also without taking into consideration that 
 the Remedy that was able to take care of the bad cases for him 
 was surely the best to use under all circumstances. 
 
 This often reminds me of the Irishman who asked the dealer 
 to fit him with a pair of boots. A pair of No. 7's fit him nicely, 
 and the price asked for them was satisfactory to him ; but when 
 about to settle he happened to see a pair of No. 12 size on the 
 shelf. He at once demanded the price of the larger pair, and 
 when told the price of each pair was the same he immediately

 took the larger pair, paid his bill, and walked out with a much 
 satisfied air, simply because he got more quantity for his money. 
 Remember, Mr. Horseman, good articles are not cheap and cheap 
 articles are not good. I will quote from the Bureau of Chem- 
 istry, Agricultural Department of Pennsylvania: "In 1905 
 forty-one towns and cities were visited by a special agent of the 
 Departmentof Agriculture, where over three hundred samples of 
 horse and cattle foods were analyzed, representing over two 
 hundred brands. Sixty-three per cent of the number analyzed 
 required the guarantee for protein and fat, and 58 per cent out 
 of the 63 per cent failed entirely to meet the requisitions." I 
 could also quote from many other states where the authorities 
 have made recent investigations showing that hundreds of 
 brands of this kind of stuff, put up under fancy names and sold 
 through feed dealers with great claims as to both their food 
 and medicinal qualities, costing from five to fifteen cents a 
 pound, in many cases are even injurious, while at best their 
 true value is about the same as wheat middlings mixed with 
 ash and common salt. As to one firm, which boasts a capital 
 of over two million dollars that it has received from owners 
 of live stock in about fifteen years, it has long been an open 
 secret that 95 per cent of its product is refuse from flouring 
 mills and cotton and linseed-oil factories.

 WHO WANTS TO OWN A SICK HORSE? 
 
52 DR. J. G. LESURE'S VETERINARY REMEDIES 
 
 The Old Story. — It is common to hear horse owners say, 
 ' ' My horse is sadly out of condition and I cannot tell either what 
 is the matter with him or how to get him into better shape." 
 Variousare the causesthat may produce this : asuddenalteration 
 of food or temperature or habits altogether may become a cause. 
 Removing a horse from grass to a heated stable, full feeding, 
 and hard exercise will often do it; therefore these changes should 
 always be gradual. Bad food, as mow-burnt hay, musty oats, 
 impure water, foul air, etc., are frequent causes. Diabetes or 
 profuse staleing is often brought on by these means, and the 
 condition of the horse becomes greatly reduced. It is requisite, 
 therefore, to inquire whether any of these errors exist and to 
 remove them immediately. But it more often happens that the 
 stomach has become relaxed and the hide had become bound. 
 
 Treatment. — Commence b3^ feeding well-cooked bran mashes, 
 adding a Renovator Powder morning and night in feed. After 
 four days physic mildly with a pint of raw linseed oil, and repeat 
 the oil physic every three days untilyou havegiven three doses. 
 Add clean oats to the diet and continue the Renovator Powders 
 for two weeks. It is only necessary to add that in considering 
 a horse's condition the effect is apt to be mistaken for the cause, 
 and the symptoms for the disease. A hide-bound condition and 
 lampas are not in themselves anything more than effects, or 
 symptoms. The former being commonly, and the latter always, 
 dependent on a deranged state of the stomach, both are therefore 
 to be treated accordingly. Exactly the same will apply to all 
 the other symptoms of a morbid or run-down condition.

 Slobbering. — Give a few ounce doses of bi-carbonate of soda 
 twice a day and feed Renovator Powders for a week. 
 
 Preparing- Horses or Cattle for Market. — Two doses of 
 Renovator Powders daily, adding two ounces of pure flaxseed 
 meal (not hulls) in the feed each day, will cause any animal 
 to improve very fast and put on a very fine glossy coat. Good 
 appearance adds much value to sale of animals. 
 
 Chronic Indigestion, Sour Stomach.— The teeth are mostly 
 to blame for this trouble, generall^^ being in such bad condition 
 that the animal will not try to masticate his food properly, 
 but will in most cases bolt it. Have the teeth attended to 
 at once. A few ounce doses of bi-carbonate of soda to sweeten 
 the stomach and Dr. Lesure's Renovator Powders fed for ten 
 days will correct this trouble. 
 
 Wind Sucking or Crib Biting.— This very bad habit, to 
 which most horses will become addicted, consists chiefly iti 
 catching hold of the manger, a hitching-post, or almost anything 
 they can fasten their teeth on, sucking and grunting until they 
 have filled themselves almost to bursting with wind . The easiest 
 way to discover this bad habit is to watch the horse while he is

 Dear Sir: I have used on several occasions your Veterinary Colic Cure 
 for horses, and have always found it effectual; at two times in particular, 
 I have had horses that suffered so severely from colic that it seemed as 
 if they must die, but a continual use of your Remedy' according to direc- 
 tions brought them out well. I keep it in my stable, and my neighbors, on 
 several occasions, have used it, always with the best results. I consider 
 it invaluable. Yours very truly,

 feeding, when he will grab the manger after every two or three 
 mouthfuls of food. This vice produces colic and other distressing 
 ailments. Whenever this habit is fully acquired it will be prac- 
 ticed as long as the animal lives. Many experiments and fruit- 
 less attemps have been made to remedy it, without any apparent 
 success. A valuable horse, after he once becomes a crib biter, 
 or wind sucker, is soon reduced in value to almost nothing. 
 He always looks jaded and delicate and is incapable of 
 rendering full service under any circumstances. Renovator 
 Powders will improve the condition, but we know of no 
 remedy that will effect a cure. 
 
 For Milk Cows. — All dairymen who want to keep their 
 cows in the best possible condition for profit will find in Dr. 
 Lesure's Renovator Powders the best tonic and conditioner 
 for milk cows in existence. Two or three doses a week will 
 keep any cow in a high state of health and increase both the 
 quantity and the quality of her milk.

 DR« LESURE'S ELECTRIC HOOF OINTMENT, 
 
 Probably more than half of the lameness in horses is in their 
 forward feet. Keeping horses on the dry floor through long 
 spells of dry weather causes the feet to become very dry and 
 hard, and it is at such times that they generally burst their 
 quarters, when hard and brittle. Many troubles arise from letting 
 the horse go too long between shoeing ; as the foot grows long 
 it is thrown out of balance, and much lameness is caused in this 
 way. There are very many horses that are lame in which it is

 Dry, shelly and cracked hoof. 
 
 very difficult to locate the trouble. 
 
 People (many times veterinarians), 
 
 v^ill examine the horse, and as they 
 
 cannot find the trouble, will say that 
 
 it is in the shoulder, which, in nearly 
 
 every case, is a mistake, as a horse is 
 
 very rarely lame in the shoulder. It 
 
 is easy to tell a shoulder lameness, as 
 
 it causes the horse to step shorter with 
 
 the lame foot, since he cannot bring a 
 
 lame shoulder up naturally; so, if the 
 
 horse steps as far with the lame foot 
 
 as he does with the other, you may be 
 
 sure that he is not lame in the shoul- 
 der. There are some horses whose 
 
 feet will stand almost any abuse 
 
 without their being lame, while many have to be taken care of 
 
 orthey will go wrong; but with proper care very few need become 
 
 lame. The trouble and expense of using a little Hoof Ointment 
 
 is small, when compared with the trouble and expense of lame 
 
 horses ; so it is advisable to use the preventative. My Hoof Oint- 
 ment is composed of ingredients that 
 are very softening and healing, and 
 it is a positive cure for all diseases of 
 the feet. But, in saying this, I do not 
 mean that two or three applications 
 will cure much disease; but I mean 
 that any man using this Ointment in 
 a thorough and business-like way will 
 certainly cure all troubles with horses' 
 feet, such as Shelliness Contraction, 
 Quarter Cracks, Corns, Thrush, etc. 
 It makes the hoof grow rapidly, 
 draws the soreness out, and in so do- 
 ing cures. It will make thin and brit- 
 tle hoofs grow tough and strong. It 
 cures Quarter Cracks by growing the 
 hoof fast and keeping it soft, thus 
 preventing it from cracking more. It 
 
 is a sure cure for Scratches, and a first-class ointment for any

 kind of sores or chaps. It is perfectly pure and clean, and fit to 
 use on chapped lips or hands. In using it on horses' feet, clean 
 out around the frog as deep as possible and work the Ointment 
 up as far as you can around the frog and in the middle cleft (a 
 small wooden paddle is the best thing to work it in with), and 
 rub a little around the edge of hair, rubbing it in well. 
 
 Directions for Use* 
 
 For Contracted Feet, or to Grow a New P'oot.— Apply Hoof 
 Ointment at night when the feet are dry and clean. Rub it well 
 into the coronet, or where the horn leaves the hair, for from 
 three to five minutes six nights in succession. Then follow right 
 up every other night until the desired results are obtained. 
 Do not put it all over the hoof. 
 
 If the Frog is Hard. — Melt the Ointment and pour it into 
 the deep cracks around the frog every other night until 
 desired results are obtained. 
 
 Thrush. — Take small wood paddle and pry down and clean 
 out side of the frog and in the middle cleft as far as possible. 
 Then melt some of the Ointment (if heated quite hot it is all the 
 better) and pour in where you have dug out. Hold the foot up 
 till the Ointment sets. A few applications will cure any case. 
 
 Scratches.— First wipe dry with soft cloth. Apply Ointment 
 freely twice a day. 
 
 Dry, Shelly and Brittle Hoof.— Ruh my Hoof Ointment over 
 the foot once a day. 
 
 Dr. Lesure's Electric Hoof Ointment will grow a new foot 
 in from three to four months.

 Quarter and Toe Cracks* 
 
 These come from various causes, such as standing on hard, 
 dry board floors, leaving the shoes on too long, driving at a 
 high rate of speed down hill, not paring the foot properly so as 
 to give the proper elasticity to the bottom of the foot, contracting 
 it, getting the foot out of balance so as to throw too much weight 
 on any particular part of the foot. The following treatment 
 should be observed : First, level the foot carefully by paring the 
 walls of the foot so as to make a perfect bearing for the shoe, 
 cut out the sole so as to give some elasticity to the bottom of the 
 foot, then using the round knife cut the edge of the crack in a 
 V-shape so as not to leave any place for sand or dirt to work in 
 and keep pressing the crack open from the coronet down to the 
 bottom of the crack. It is sometimes necessary to shoe with a bar 
 shoe, but in most cases an open plate shoe or the center-bearing 
 shoe No. 1 will bring the desired results. Set the shoes as often 
 as once in three or four weeks, at each setting keeping the shoe 
 well back under the heels, shortening the toe as much as possible. 
 Then take a piece of toe steel %-inch by i/^-inch to make a hot 
 lance by drawing a sharp edge about an inch across the point. 
 Heat almost to a white heat, take the foot on the knee as if in the 
 act of clinching the shoe, and use the hot lance to cut across the 
 top of the crack just at the edge of the hair in the coronet, cut- 
 ting through so as to start the blood. Probably you will have 
 to heat the lance a second time to accomplish the result needed. 
 Then dress the coronet with Dr. Lesure's Electric Hoof Ointment 
 at least three times a week, rubbing it in well, and packing the 
 bottom with oakum or any good hoof packing to keep the bot- 
 tom moist and soft.

 This disease may come from various causes, such as letting a 
 horse stand in a draught when warm, and watering or feeding 
 when too warm; and it will show itself in this way. The horse 
 will be very nervous, shifting from one foot to the other, his 
 feet in a high state of fever, very hot and sensitive to the touch 
 of the hammer or hoof tester, and will lie down in great pain. 
 
 Treatment. — Remove the shoe as carefully as possible, pare 
 the feet well down with the hoof parers and rasp them. Then take 
 the round knife and cut the hoof at the toe directly opposite the 
 point of the frog, just where the sole joins on the outside wall, 
 cutting back until you start the blood well, and at the same time 
 rubbing the leg down towards the hoof, making the blood run 
 freely to the amount of a quart; then fill the opening with Electric 
 Hoof Ointment, put on a leather sole, tack on an old plate shoe 
 with about four nails, put the foot in a flaxseed poultice, keeping 
 it well moistened forforty-eighthours, and feed mashes to loosen 
 the bowels. 
 
 If this treatment is followed closely there is not much danger 
 of drop sole or seedy toe ; but if the case becomes chronic, shoe 
 with a bar shoe, taking care not to leave the shoe on too long so 
 as to let the shoe loose, and using as small nails as the work will 
 permit. Rub the coronet every two or three weeks with Dr. 
 Lesure's Veterinary Blister, and follow with Electric Hoof Oint- 
 ment to toughen and make the hoof grow faster, filling the bot- 
 tom when not in use with oakum or any good hoof packing to 
 help allay any inflammation that may exist.

 A Corn is an injury to the living horn of the foot, involving 
 at the same time the soft tissue beneath, whereby the capillary 
 blood vessels are ruptured 
 and a small amount of the 
 blood escapes, which, by per- 
 meating the Corn in the im- 
 mediate neighborhood, stains 
 it a dark color. If the injury 
 is continuously repeated the 
 corn becomes altered in char- 
 acter, the soft tissue may sup- 
 purate, causing the disease to 
 spread, or a horny tumor may 
 develop. Corns always ap- 
 pear in that part of the sole 
 included in the angle between 
 the bar and the outside wall 
 of the hoof. In many cases 
 the laminae of the bar of the 
 wall or of both, are involved 
 at the same time. 
 
 Three kinds of Corns are commonly recognized, the dry, the 
 moist, and the suppurative, a division based solely on the charac- 
 ter of the conditions which follow the primary injury. The fore 
 feet are almost exclusively the subjects of the disease, for two 
 reasons : First, because they support the greater part of the

 everything ever heard of, and for the past fifteen years I have dropped the 
 old remedies and used only yours ; and 1 must say I have had a lot of 
 comfort and the best of luck with them, and to tell you the truth I hardly 
 fear anything that happens to the horse in the way of sickness, and 1 must

 body ; second, because the heel of the fore foot during progres- 
 sion is first placed on the ground, whereby it receives much more 
 concussion than the heel of the hind foot, in which the toe first 
 strikes the ground. 
 
 Causes.— It may be said that all feet are exposed to Corns and 
 that even the best feet may sufier from them when the conditions 
 necessary to the production of the peculiar injury are present. 
 The heavier breeds of horses, generally used for heavy work on 
 rough roads and streets, seem to be most liable to this trouble. 
 
 Treatment for the different kinds of Corns differs with me 
 very little. In the first place I always try to find out what causes 
 the trouble. If it is caused by the heels being too high, I lower 
 them by properly paring at the heel; if the toes are too long and 
 high I pare them off so as to give the hoof the proper angle for 
 the kind of shaped hoof and leg that it may be, then cut out the 
 angle between the bars so as to start the serum slightly, fill the 
 cavity with my Electric Hoof Ointment (applying quite hot is 
 best), and give the shoe as level a bearing as possible. If the 
 heels are contracted I fit the shoe slightly convex, so that it will 
 have a natural tendency to press the heel open, not driving the 
 nails too high and using as small nails as the weight of the shoe 
 will permit. Use my Electric Hoof Ointment for all ailments 
 of the horse's feet as directed, and the good results obtained will 
 so please you that you will always use it.

 Interfering* 
 
 An animal is said to interfere when one foot strikes the oppo- 
 site leg as it passes by during locomotion. The inner surface of 
 the fetlock joint is the part most subject to this injury, although 
 under certain conditions it may happen to any part of the ankle. 
 It is seen more often in the hind legs than in the fore legs. In- 
 terfering causes a bruise of the skin and deeper tissues, generally 
 accompanied by an abrasion of the surface. It may cause lame- 
 ness, dangerous tripping, and thickening of the injured parts. 
 
 Causes. — Faulty conformation is the most prolific cause of 
 Interfering. When the bones of the leg are so united that the 
 toe of the foot turns in (pigeon toed) or when the fetlock joints 
 are too close together and the toe turns out, when the leg is so 
 deformed that the whole foot or ankle turns in or out, Interfering 
 is almost sure to follow. It may happen also when the feet grow 
 too long, and from defective shoeing, rough or slippery roads, 
 the exhaustion of labor or sickness, swelling of the leg, high 
 knee action, fast work, and because the chest or hips are too 
 narrow. 
 
 Treatment. — When the trouble is due to deformity or faulty 
 conformation it may not be possible to overcome the defect. In 
 such cases, and as well in those due to exhaustion or fatigue, 
 the fetlock or ankle boot must be used. In many instances 
 Interfering may be prevented by proper shoeing. Many times 
 the blacksmith makes a great mistake by only treating the hoof 
 that does the injury to the opposite ankle. The outside heel and

 quarter of the foot on the injured leg should be lowered suffi- 
 ciently to change the relative position of the fetlock joint by 
 bringing it further away from the center plane of the foot, to 
 pass without striking. 
 
 Shoeing to prevent Interfering is an easy matter if one under- 
 stands the anatomy of the leg of the horse well enough to tell 
 when he is out of balance; and that is the primary cause of 
 defects of like character, such as knee-knocking, overreaching, 
 foregoing, clicking, etc. If the horse ''toes out" pare off the 
 inside as much as possible, putting on a shoe with a long out- 
 side, so as to bring the toe in a straight line with the body. If 
 the foot cannot be brought up level by paring, put on a thick- 
 sided shoe, so as to make the foot look straight when standing 
 down on the floor. 
 
 I wish here to call the attention of both owner and shoer to 
 two things that cause horses to interfere when otherwise they 
 would not; and these are: First, improperly adjusting the breech- 
 ing, getting it too low; and second, I have known horses to 
 interfere because of the teeth being bad, causing the horse to 
 sideline or become restless when driven, throwing him out of 
 balance.

 Overreaching* 
 
 An overreach is seen where the shoe of the hind foot strikes 
 and injures the heel or quarter of the fore foot. It rarely 
 happens except when the animal is going fast ; hence it is most 
 common in trotting and running horses. In trotters the accident 
 generally happens when the animal breaks from a trot to a run. 
 The outside heels and quarters are most liable to injury. 
 
 Symptoms. — The coronet at the heel or quarter is bruised or 
 cut, the injury in some instances involving the horn as well. 
 Where the hind foot strikes well back on the heel of the fore foot, 
 an accident known among horsemen as "grabbing" may occur, 
 the shoe may be torn from the foot or the animal may fall on its 
 knees. Horses accustomed to overreaching are often bad 
 "breakers," for the reason that the pain of the injury so excites 
 them that they cannot be readily brought back to a trotting gait. 
 
 To shoe for Overreaching, pare the four feet down as much 
 as possible at the toe, giving them as even a bearing as can be 
 secured, then put on shoes to correspond with the w^ork intended. 
 If the shoes are to have calks, shoe the front feet with low toes 
 with slightly elevated heel, letting the shoe fit the foot properly,

 had written you second note and enclosed and sent it, began to eat and 
 chew her cud. I never saw medicine act so promptly and quick as did your 
 Renovator Powders, and I only by chance got hold of it by going to one of 
 the local stores to change from stock food to something else. It appeared 
 high in price alongside of other powders, but I knew I wanted something 
 that had some medical qualities in it and merit, and thank you for bringing 
 such a Medicine into our midst; and if I get results like that has shown

 the hind shoes with the toe calk slightly higher than the heels ; 
 shoe with long bearing surface, both toe and heel, cutting down 
 the heel of the hoof slightly more than the toe. Never set the 
 toe calks back on the hind foot, as many shoers do, thinking to 
 stop the striking. Allow me to impress the fact right here that 
 the surest way to prevent Overreaching, clicking, etc., is to shoe 
 so as to hasten the action of the fore feet by cutting away and 
 lowering the toe and elevating the heel, thus promoting a quicker 
 action in front, and following this up by shoeing the hind feet 
 with a full toe well out to front of hoof, and long-bearing shoe 
 with slightly lowered heels, thus causing slower action in getting 
 over, and giving the fore leg plenty of time in getting away, 
 making interfering almost impossible. 
 
 Side weighting on the hind feet, letting the outside heel be 
 longer than the inside, helps to spread the legs when in motion, 
 throwing the hind feet outside the front ones. This mode of 
 shoeing applies to road and general purpose horses. But the first 
 method is surely the better way in all bad cases, where Over- 
 reaching or pounding the bottom of the front shoe with the 
 hind foot has become a fixed habit.

 DR- LESURPS WORM ANNIHILATOR. 
 
 It is one of the principles of nature that one animal should 
 live within and feed upon another. And hence every animal 
 and nearly every organ, has its peculiar inhabitant or parasite. 
 But in small numbers these give no trouble, and in perfect health 
 they never get in excess. But in an unhealthy condition they 
 will multiply, and there is nothing so irritating and aggravating 
 to the system of a horse as an excess of worms. They destroy 
 the life-giving properties of the food and irritate the stomach 
 and bowels, causing indigestion, fits, colic and nearly all other

 troubles that horses are heir to; and no man can afford to keep 
 a wormy horse. They cause 
 
 a horse to show a very un- .-.-^^ 
 
 thrifty look. With a ravenous 
 appetite, feed seems to do no 
 good, causing the owner to 
 wonder why his horse looks 
 so poorly, when he feeds it 
 well and uses it lightly. To 
 all such I would say, ** Tr}^ 
 Dr. Lesure's Worm Annihila- 
 tor." There are two kinds of 
 worms that do the mischief: 
 the large, round worm that 
 
 inhabits the stomach and intestines, and the pinworm that in- 
 habits the colon and rectum. In treating be sure and follow 
 directions, as what is worth doing at all is worth doing well, 
 and only those fail to accomplish desired results that neglect 
 to follow directions. 
 
 In Treating for Worms, a good time to commence is at night, 
 when the horse has done a day's work, as at that timethe stomach 
 and bowels are well emptied, and the medicines will have more 
 direct action on the worms. Give one powder in a small bran 
 mash, as directed on box, and do not feed hay or grain for an 
 hour or two. After feeding the Worm Annihilator for six days, 
 omit and give a tablespoonful of brown sugar in the regular 
 feed for the same period. This treatment is sure to destroy 
 stomach worms, and will many times destroy pinworms,but is 
 not always sure. Where it fails, proceed with injections, as 
 directed on box. A force-pump is the best thing to give an in- 
 jection with; by entering the tube and starting the pump slowly 
 the tube may be inserted from twelve to eighteen inches, thus 
 getting at the seat of the trouble. In inserting, work slowly and 
 carefully. The Annihilator used in this way I have never known 
 to fail. It is perfectly safe to give to mares in foal. This powder 
 is a very fine tonic, and a great thing to tone and build up the 
 system after the worms have been expelled ; and no man can 
 make any mistake in feeding it if he thinks his horse may be 
 wormy, as it will more than pay by generally toning up the 
 system. 
 
 IT IS USUALLY YOUR FAULT THAT HE IS.

 DR* LESURE'S SPECIAL LINIMENT FOR NERVE, 
 MUSCLE, BONE AND SINEW 
 
 SPECIAU 
 
 Is a powerful penetratorand a strong 
 stimulator for Cockled Joints, Sprung 
 Knees, Knotted Cords, Curbs, Splints, 
 Shoe Boils when first started; Wind 
 Puffs, Big Tendons, etc. It is the finest 
 liniment in the world for Rheumatism, 
 Neuralgia, Sciatica, Sprains, Weak 
 Joints, and all affections of the nerves, 
 bones or spinal column in man or beast. 
 It is fine for sore throat, congested 
 lungs, or any part where you want to 
 produce external irritation. It will 
 blister if thoroughly rubbed in, will re- 
 move Calluses, Thickenings, and all en- 
 largements that will yield to a mild 
 blister, and will work w^ell on Spavins 
 or Ringbones. 
 
 Directions. — For Cockled Joints, 
 Sprung Knees, and Knotted Cords, 
 bathe and gently rub in enough to pro- 
 duce something of an irritation, but not 
 so much as to form much scab. Some 
 horses blister so much more easily than 
 
 others that it is impos- 
 sible to give directions 
 
 that will fit in all cases. 
 
 The man using it must 
 
 exercise some judgment 
 
 in order to be success- 
 ful. After one or tw^o 
 
 applications you can see 
 
 the eifect; if it irritates 
 
 too much, rub less, and 
 
 if not enough, rub 
 
 more. This wall cure if 
 
 begun in season and 
 
 well attended to. 
 
 ALWAYS FOLLOW DIRECTIONS CAREFULLY. 
 
FOR PRIVATE TREATMENT OF DOMESTIC ANIMALS. 
 
 71 
 
 Calluses or Thickenings. — Rub in thoroughly twice a day until 
 a scab forms, then let alone until the scab comes off; then repeat 
 as before. A scab will form more easily the second time, as the 
 skin will be more tender. With judgment and persistent use 
 this will remove without a scar. 
 
 Sprains or Weak Joints. — Bathe without much rubbing. 
 
 Sore Throat, Congested Lungs. — This is fine for these troubles. 
 When you want to produce an external irritation for sore throat, 
 bathe and rub gently. For Congested Lungs, bathe the chest 
 and over the lungs and rub in gently, and if the case is severe 
 rub enough to blister mildly. 
 
 How to Take Off Wind Puffs and Reduce Big Tendons with 
 Dr. Lesure^s Special Liniment. — First paint Puff with Liniment, 
 using a tooth brush, once a day for four days ; then omit treat- 
 ment two or three days. Then put on as before for two or three 
 days more. When you see that the Liniment is blistering, which 
 will be indicated by scabs forming, omit treatment until the scabs 
 come off, and then treat again as before, using less of the Lini- 
 ment each time, as the skin will become more tender. Continue 
 until leg is smooth. For Big Tendons, treat the same as for 
 Puffs. 
 
 Family Liniment. — This 
 Liniment is equally success- 
 ful in the family, especially 
 for Rheumatism, Neuralgia, 
 Sciatica, and all deep-seated 
 pains and lameness. Much 
 pain and torture may be 
 avoided by its timely use. 
 Rub the Liniment in thor- 
 oughly twice or more a day 
 and heat the affected parts in 
 any way convenient. 
 
 For Sore Throat or Con- 
 gested Lungs, bathe well and 
 cover with thick flannel. 
 
 For Sprains and Weak Joints, it will be found very successful.

72 DR. J. G. LESURE'S VETERINARY REMEDIES 
 
 HOW TO DETERMINE HORSE AILMENTS. 
 
 First try to discover the cause by carefully observing all symp- 
 toms. When the trouble is once located, act promptly and con- 
 tinue faithfully at your task until the desired results are obtained . 
 Remember that the man who has the habit of saying " I can't" 
 at the least sign of approaching trouble generally has large 
 doctor bills to pay that he could easily avoid if he would try. 
 
 When your horse looks anxious, wavers, wants to lie down, 
 suddenly gets up quickly, paws, and looks around at flanks, it 
 is a good sign of colic. In Flatulent Colic the symptoms are the 
 same with belching, caused by forming gas, and distended 
 bowels, showing a bloated condition. Treat same as for Spas- 
 modic Colic and give injections at once. 
 
 When the pulse is quick, and the animal lies down easily, paws 
 constantly when standing, and looks distressed, with mouth hot 
 and thirsty, look out for Inflammation of the Bowels (Enteritis) . 
 
 When your horse has been exposed to cold and rainy weather, 
 look for chills and fever; hunt up your Fever Drops at once and 
 save further troubles. 
 
 When your horse becomes thin in flesh, hair stands up, coat 
 looks rough, and belly extended, rubs his tail, and is hide-bound, 
 with a general run-down condition, it is a sure sign of worms. 
 Feed him Dr. Lesure's Worm Annihilator, adding a handful of 
 brown sugar to each feed, and you will get every worm from him. 
 
 When your horse throws his fore feet forward when resting, 
 with the body on haunches, look out for Founder, which causes 
 fever in front feet. Treat promptl3^ (See Founder.) 
 
 Blind horses raise the fore legs high w^hen stepping, and 
 Blindness is easily detected thus.

 Dear Sir : We are pleased to say chat after installing a full line of Dr.

 pleasure in testifying to the merit of your Medicines. We are,

 When the fore feet are set wide apart, with head hanging low, 
 and the animal refuses to eat, with nostrils expanded , and breath- 
 ing quick and panting-like, it is a very good sign of Congestion 
 of the Lungs. 
 
 When a horse is taken suddenly lame without any apparent 
 cause, shifting from one part to another, with joints sometimes 
 swelling, it is well to suspect Rheumatism. Give Fever Drops 
 every hour for six hours, adding three one-ounce doses of bi-car- 
 bonate of soda four hours apart. 
 
 When your horse's legs swell, if not caused by Scratches or 
 Grease Heel, it shows that the kidneys are not performing their 
 function properly. Give at once Dr. Lesure's Cough and Tonic 
 Drops several times a day and feed Renovator Powders. 
 
 Falling hair in spots denotes Mange, Itch, etc. Take one 
 pound flowers of sulphur and three ounces Karbo Cream, adding 
 one quart of soft water. Boil all together for two hours, and 
 when cool drain off the liquid and apply three times a day. A 
 sure cure for all skin diseases. 
 
 If your horse coughs, starts to run at the nose, and has sore 
 throat, expect Distemper, Catarrhal affections, etc. Give at once 
 Dr. Lesure's Cough and Tonic Drops; nothing better. Reno- 
 vator Powders will keep up strength until well. 
 
 When your horse's feet become hard and brittle and it goes 
 sore in front, use Dr. Lesure's Blister around the coronary band, 
 just where the horn leaves the hair. Follow with Dr. Lesure's 
 Electric Hoof Ointment. Result: rapid growth, sound hoof. 
 
 In real Shoulder Sprains, which are rare, the toe is dragged 
 along the ground while in motion ; at rest it is planted forward, 
 but resting on point of toe. When the lameness is in the foot, 
 the horse points his foot forward also; but he does so with his 
 whole limb unbent and the foot flat.

 DR. LESURE'S LINIMENT- 
 
 (Turf Wash.) 
 
 This Liniment will mix with water and makes the finest wash 
 that a turfman ever used. When diluted, it is perfectly safe to 
 bandage over and fills a want that turfmen have long felt. It is 
 a preparation that can be used all around, from a strong lini- 
 ment down to a wash. This can be made any desired strength 
 to produce the result required, and a fair trial will convince the 
 most skeptical that it is the finest turf wash ever produced. 
 
 A 50-cent bottle makes a gallon of Wash. Put a bottle of 
 Liniment into a gallon bottle and fill with water, and you will 
 have a gallon of the finest wash you ever saw. It can be used 
 freely on any part of the horse with perfect safety, can be band- 
 aged over, and will be found much superior to rum, hamamelis, 
 or anything that has been produced. It is also cheaper than any- 
 thing else, and has only to be tried to be appreciated. In gal- 
 lon cans, $4.00 per gallon.

 Dear Sir: The case of Dr. Lesure's full line of Veterinary Medicines we 
 bought of you last season has proved very satisfactory in every respect. 
 I now feel sure that a full line of your Remedies would almost be a necessity 
 in every well-regulated stable. They surely save time, trouble and expense.

 DR* LESURE^S TOTAL ECLIPSE SPAVIN CURE. 
 
 People generally have become so disgusted in trying to cure 
 Spavins that they will often say that you are an imposter if you 
 tell them that you can cure one. But there are many that have 
 been cured, and many more that will be cured. But in order to 
 cure them it is necessary to commence very early and give the 
 horse perfect rest and thorough treatment. Wherever I have 
 followed this rule I have never failed, and I have known many 
 others to cure. But the average man will not do this, and so 
 says that a cure cannot be effected ; if he is bound to think so, 
 I let him and cater to those who believe it can be accomplished. 
 This Spavin Cure is a liniment that I made 
 and used many years in my practice before I 
 ever made it for sale. I always used it as an 
 all-around liniment and never had it fail of 
 doing what I wanted it to do. If I had a horse 
 get cut or galled I put this on and it cured 
 him right off; and if he got sprained or lamed 
 in any way, I put it on and he stopped limping. 
 If he got spavined, I attended to him and 
 cured him. If he had an old spavin, I rubbed 
 it on and kept the soreness out, and he trav- 
 eled much better for it; and I find that my 
 experience has been everybody's that has 
 used it thoroughly. 
 
 Spavins must be taken on their first appear- 
 ance. Give the horse perfect rest and rub 
 the Spavin Cure in thoroughly, rubbing it 
 five to ten minutes three times a day. Four to six weeks will 
 cure, and the same treatment will greatly relieve a Spavin at

 any stage. Splints and Curbs should be treated the same as 
 Spavins, only the horse may be worked carefully. 
 
 Bone Spavin. — See treatment under head of Veterinary 
 Blister. As the Blister and Spavin Cure should oftentimes be 
 associated in treating many ailments, it would be well to look 
 them both up carefully, so as to be well informed as to where 
 their combined use is essential. 
 
 Occult Spavins are situated in the joint, and being invisible 
 are very difficult to locate and correspondingly hard to remedy. 
 The treatment is the same as directed for Bone Spavin. 
 
 Capped Hock.— This is an injury on the point of the hock, 
 which gives the knee a very clumsy appearance. It is often 
 caused, while horses are being shipped, by striking the hock 
 against the side of the car. At first it shows only a bruised con- 
 dition but soon becomes hard and calloused; therefore treatment 
 should be prompt. If the part seems inflamed, apply the Spavin 
 Cure three times a day until the inflammation has subsided. 
 Follow with a few applications of the Special Liniment, to absorb 
 the thickened cartilage, and repeat with the Spavin Cure until 
 a complete cure is reached. 
 
 Swellings.-App\y cold water and hot fomentations alternately 
 until the inflammation is somewhat reduced. Then apply the 
 Spavin Cure freely, covering the affected part with a bandage 
 that has been dipped in hot water. There is no other remedy 
 compounded that will compare with the Total Eclipse Spavin 
 Cure for reducing swelling or bruises, if the plain directions are 
 followed carefully.

 Wind Galls are those soft spongy swellings that make their 
 appearance on both sides of the legsjust above the fetlock joint. 
 It is seldom that a horse is found entirely clear of them, par- 
 ticularly on the hind legs. They are produced by hard usage, 
 strains, bruises, etc., of the back sinews, or sheathes that cover 
 thern, which, by being overstretched, have some of their fibers 
 ruptured ; from these ooze the fluid found in the sacs with the 
 enclosed air. 
 
 Treatment. — When Wind Galls make their first appearance 
 they are easily cured by applying the Total Eclipse Spavin Cure 
 as hot as the horse can stand it. Saturate pads of cotton with 
 the Cure, apply them to the parts, and cover with wet bandages 
 as tight as possible without giving pain to the horse. Repeat 
 this operation two or three times a day. Should this method 
 not succeed after a thorough trial, apply my Special Liniment 
 three times a day until a light blister is produced, then remove 
 all scurf or scale with soap and water and repeat treatment 
 with the Spavin Cure as at first directed. 
 
 Wind Galls give a horse a gouty and clumsy appearance. They 
 also cause him to depreciate in value as a sale animal. I 
 have never known them to produce lameness or other injury 
 except that of stiffening the legs as the animal advances in 3^ears. 
 They also furnish strong proof that the animal has rendered 
 much service. 
 
 Broken Knee. — This is one of the most common, as well as the 
 most dangerous wounds, the horse is subject to. Where the 
 horse stumbles and falls, causing a laceration of one or both 
 knees, sometimes to such an extent as to release some of the joint 
 oil, great care must be exercised . First, see that all dirt, sand , or

 gravel is removed from the v^round ; then put the leg in splints, 
 well padded so as not to injure the leg, and apply at once the 
 Spavin Cure to the wound several times a day. Should the 
 wound become a little too hard or dry, poultice with linseed to 
 moisten it. Keep the splints on until the sore has knit firmly, 
 or the horse is apt to break it open by bending the leg. 
 
 To Stop Bleeding. — There is no other preparation on earth 
 that will equal the Spavin Cure in stopping the flow of blood 
 from a wound. Saturate a lump of cotton or clean waste and 
 bind it on the wound, keeping it wet with the Cure for a few 
 minutes, and the result will astonish you. 
 
 SoU Bunches are readily removed by a few applications of 
 the Special Liniment, followed by the Spavin Cure. 
 
 Special Notice. — This preparation is a revolution in everything 
 heretofore attempted as a Spavin Cure. Almost all, in fact I 
 might say all, so-called Spavin Cures are simply strong counter- 
 irritants or caustics, which may be right as a preparatory treat- 
 ment, yet no complete cure can be hoped for from their use alone. 
 The Total Eclipse Spavin Cure is not a counter-irritant, but a 
 powerful astringent ; its action is soothing, strengthening, and 
 healing from the moment of application. Wholly unlike in every 
 particular from all other Liniments, which are more or less 
 relaxative in their nature. Mr. Horseman, I ask you in all 
 candor, which do you want for a sprain, a relaxative or an 
 astringent? All Spavins are sprains. 
 
 Tonics. — Always feed Dr. Lesure's Renovator Powders or 
 give the Cough and Tonic Drops night and morning to strengthen 
 and keep the system in good condition, w^hen treating for Spavin 
 or any other lameness.

 DR, LESURE'S VETERINARY BLISTER. 
 
 This preparation is one of the most reliable blisters ever com- 
 pounded. It has been used with great success in removing 
 Curbs, Splints, Spavins, hard, calloused Bunches, and Ring Bones 
 or wherever a strong counter-irritant and absorbant is required. 
 It removes the blemish by absorption, and does it without mak- 
 ing a bad sore. The Blister should be used in all cases that do 
 not yield to the use of Dr. Lesure's Special Liniment. 
 
 Care should be exercised w^hen blistering to guard against any 
 cold in the wound. Keep the animal free from cold draughts. 
 He should always be tied so that he cannot bring his mouth in 
 contact with the BHster. Sometimes it is necessary to tie his 
 tail to prevent bringing the hind parts around. Always shave 
 the hair close before applying the Blister, and remove all scurf 
 and dirt wdth soap and water. After the spot has become dry 
 apply the Blister rubbing it in thoroughly from ten to fifteen 
 minutes, and grease around the blistered part to prevent it from 
 spreading. Where the scabs seem slow in falling off or show 
 a hard, cracked condition, grease with vaseline, when they will 
 soon disappear. One Blister thoroughly applied and watched 
 closely will accomplish more good than to keep smearing it on 
 for several days in a hap-hazard manner. When a Blister shows 
 too much irritation, or causes too much pain or inflammation, 
 wash the parts with Castile soap, and warm water; then apply 
 Dr. Lesure's Total Eclipse Spavin Cure. This preparation beats

 the world for reducing inflamed parts and removing soreness 
 from Spavins, and should be used at all times after the Blister 
 has done its part to complete the cure. Only one spot on an 
 animal should be blistered at a time and a Blister should never 
 be used v^here the parts show an inflamed condition. 
 
 The blistering can be repeated several times if necessary, until 
 the desired result is obtained. Let the part get well in all cases 
 before applying the Blister the second time or using as much, for 
 the spot will be more tender than at first treatment. This prepa- 
 ration is not caustic and will not burn or destroy the hair roots; 
 neither will it scar or bring out white hair, if the horse is kept 
 from biting or tearing the skin with his teeth.

 with the Spavin Cure to heal and toughen the hock. This treat- 
 ment can be repeated until the enlargement is removed. Always 
 give two doses of the Renovator Powders a day, to keep the 
 blood in proper condition, when treating Curbs or Spavins of

 Spavins are morbid enlargements situated on or near the knee 
 or hock joints of the hind legs. They are designated as Bone 
 Spavin, Bog Spavin, Blood Spavin, and Thoroughpin. Spavins 
 that have become ossified, or have been left run into chronic 
 stages, are considered by the veterinary profession as incurable. 
 Therefore the treatment should be prompt and heroic as soon 
 as they are first discovered. 
 
 Bone Spavin is a growth of the bone on the inside, and in 
 front, of the hock joint, and will often produce extreme lame- 
 ness before the exostosis is perceptible. 
 
 Treatment. — Clip or shave the hair close over the bony growth 
 and apply the Blister, rubbing it in briskly for at least twenty 
 minutes. After the blistering has gone far enough, apply vaseline 
 or oil night and morning until the irritation subsides. Then 
 wash with Castile soap and warm water, and apply the Total 
 Eclipse Spavin Cure three times a day for a week or ten days. 
 After the parts have healed, the Spavin Cure should be applied 
 with plenty of friction. Remember that the blistering operation 
 is only preparatory treatment, after which the Spavin Cure will 
 effect a satisfactory cure. When treating for Spavin, the horse 
 must be given absolute rest. Shoe with high-heeled shoe with- 
 out toe calks.

 Bog Spavin is a puffy, soft swelling situated slightly more to 
 the front of the joint than the Bone Spavin, and is sometimes 
 termed Wind Galls of the hock. It very seldom causes any 
 lameness. 
 
 Blood Spavin resembles the Bog Spavin in appearance, but 
 often covers both sides and front of the joint. 
 
 A Thoroughpin is only an extension of Blood Spavin, passing 
 clear through the joint in front of the cap. 
 
 Treatment — For Thoroughpin,BogSpavin,and Blood Spavin, 
 apply my Special Liniment until a slight scruff is produced under 
 the hair; then apply hot fomentations until all scales are re- 
 moved, and follov^ with the Total Eclipse Spavin Cure, covered 
 with hot bandage. 
 
 Contracted Hoof. — Clip the hair just above the horn and apply 
 the Blister lightly clear around the coronet. After a week, wash 
 the part clean and follow with Electric Hoof Ointment, as di- 
 rected for growing hoofs. The result will be highly beneficial. 
 
 Splint is an exostosis of the bone on the inside of the fore leg, 
 between the knee and fetlock joint. It very rarely causes any 
 lameness, unless situated close to the knee-joint. The treatment 
 is the same as directed for Spavin. 
 
 Important. — When looking up treatment for Spavin and cal- 
 loused Bunches or Enlargements, read treatment offered under 
 both the Veterinary BHster and the Total Eclipse Spavin Cure ; 
 as in a great variety of cases these two preparations, when used 
 together as directed, furnish the very best treatment that com- 
 mon sense and medical science can teach.

 HOW TO TREAT NAIL WOUNDS* 
 
 When a horse steps on a nail or other substance that punctures 
 the sole of the foot to a sufficient depth to cause the blood to flow, 
 there is only one safe course to pursue : and that is, to make a 
 good, free opening for the escape of all blood. This means to 
 cut with a sharp knife a circular hole fully as large as a ten-cent 
 piece, around the hole made by the nail. When neglected, the 
 nature of the sole is such that it will close and shut in blood that 
 should find egress from the wound, as well as germs, which may 
 have been on the nail, piece of bone, or whatever was stepped 
 upon. When the blood remains in the wound, putrefaction soon 
 follows, and purulent matter burrows under the frog or sole, the 
 connecting tissues are destroyed, and the animal sufiers excru- 
 ciating pain; and not unfrequently lock-jaw (Tetanus) follows. 
 As a rule most horse owners are afraid to cut away any sole of 
 the foot, fearing that they will expose sensitive parts and it will 
 be weeks before new horn will grow ; consequently, when they 
 cut away horn, they rarely half do the work. They cut away a 
 hole large enough on the surface but don't extend it to the depth 
 necessary to allow the pent-up blood to escape. The fear of over- 
 cutting prevents their cutting sufficiently, and their fear that 
 the hole will not soon fill with healthy horn is groundless. 
 
 In not one case in ten, where a proper opening has been made

 soon after the injury, will there ever be suppuration, the wound 
 simply drying up and healing by first intention, as surgeons say. 
 The fact that the wound in your animal's foot does not discharge 
 shows clearly to me that you did not properly cut away the sole, 
 for if the nail penetrated only half an inch, no serious injury 
 could have been made to the sensitive sole or frog. Blood 
 remained which should have been abstracted. 
 
 After the cutting is made put my All-Healing Balm into the 
 
 opening twice daily, holding 
 the foot up until the sore has 
 absorbed all it will. Continue 
 this treatment until the sore- 
 ness is entirely removed and 
 the horse will not get lame. 
 Then pack the foot with my 
 Electric Hoof Ointment, put- 
 ting in a little oakum and a 
 leather under the shoe. This 
 will grow the horn down 
 and make the foot sound, and 
 the horse can be worked with- 
 out need of further atten- 
 tion.

 Dear Sir: I have used your Remedies in my stables for about twelve 
 years, both for my own horses and many others in my care, and can truth- 
 fully say they have performed all you have recommended them to do. One 
 after another of the horse-owners in my vicinity, seeing me use them, have 
 bought them of me, and I have had no one fail to come for more. 
 
 Sincerely yours,

 Dear Sir: I wish to add my testimonial in praise of your Veterinary 
 Medicines, which I have used in my stables for the past twelve years with 
 best of results. I would especially recommend the Fever Drops and Cough 
 and Tonic Drops, which I consider the best known remedies for climating 
 horses. Yours truly,

 DR. LESURE^S ANTISEPTIC GALL CURE. 
 
 FOR 
 
 Saddle Galls, Collar Boils, Cuts, Mud Scalds, Scratches, Rope Burns, 
 etc*, upon Horses and Cattle* 
 
 This Gall Cure is one of the standard preparations, and it 
 would be impossible to make it of a higher degree of perfection; 
 and when used in a proper manner it cannot but help to effect 
 a cure. In cases where the sore is not too deep it dries it up 
 and does not make any scab. The Cure should be applied while 
 harnessing the horse, and should be rubbed well into the sore. 
 
 In using my Gall Cure, I desire to caution you, don't put on 
 too much. For a sore the size of a silver dollar take an amount 
 of the Gall Cure the size of a pea and rub it in thoroughly, and 
 repeat it each time you put on or take off the harness. If your 
 horse is standing in the barn, apply night and morning, but 
 don't use too much, "that's all." 
 
 Ask your dealer for it, and remember that my absolute guar- 
 antee is behind each box you buy and you take no risk. Your 
 money back if not satisfied. Put up in two sizes, 25 cents and 
 50 cents. The 50-cent box holds two and one-half times as 
 much as the 25-cent size. 
 
 Directions for Use* 
 
 Harness Gall. — Apply the Cure to each sore spot when har- 
 nessing and unharnessing. Rub well into the sore. It will cure 
 without laying up the horse. 
 
 Collar Boils.— Tresit the same as for Saddle Galls. 
 
 Sores that harness does not cover: Apply Cure three times 
 a day, rubbing in well each time. 
 
 Abrasion (Skin off).— Apply Cure to all such places once or 
 twice a day; rub in well. Does the trick and does it quick. 
 
 Scratches.— Of a dry nature ; clean well with soft brush or 
 cloth and apply the Cure, rubbing in well, three times a day. 
 
 C/iayes.— Apply the Cure freely. 
 
 Rope Burns.— Apply the Cure twice daily, rubbing in well. 
 
 Remember it is guaranteed to be as represented, or monej^ 
 refunded as cheerfully as taken.

 PULLING ON THE HALTER, 
 
 This is a habit which the horse acquires by being hitched with 
 too slight a halter. After once breaking away he will try it 
 again ; and if he succeeds once or twice, the habit is fixed and 
 he will try it as often as opportunity offers. 
 
 The most successful remedy is to take a half-inch cord; put it 
 over the back, about where the saddle goes, in the form of a 
 slipping noose. Carry the end between the forward legs and 
 through the halter ring and hitch to the manger or post. One 
 or two pulls will satisfy him and break him of the habit. 
 
 Promptly discharge the driver who treats your horse in this manner.

 SHOEING COLTS. 
 
 Colts should be looked to by their owners from birth, and 
 never should be turned out to pasture without having their feet 
 pared off even, so as not to let one side or the other break off 
 and make the foot grow crooked. A colt whose feet have grown 
 crooked can never be brought back to as good a balance as nature 
 gave him. The feet should be pared at least twice a year, until 
 the colt is to be shod for permanent use. 
 
 In shoeing colts, they should be shod according to the work 
 intended for them to do. If for the road, shoe with plate shoe 
 with a little heel calk on the hind shoes, but no toe calk. If the 
 feet are crooked, build up with a thick-sided shoe, so as to bring 
 the feet as level as possible. If the colt is to be shod for draft 
 purposes and needs calks, shoe with as low calks as possible, 
 always setting the toe calk back from the edge of the shoe some 
 distance. That will cause the colt to set his foot down on the 
 ground square to pull ; and he will learn that at the start and 
 never climb on his toes, as a horse will do if the toe calk is placed 
 out on the extreme edge of the shoe, as is the habit of most 
 shoers to-day. 
 
 TO NON-USERS OF DR. LESURE'S FAMOUS 
 REMEDIES. 
 
 Many years ago a horse-breeder, who has since become famous 
 in the horse world, found himself one dark night, lost in the 
 wilds of southern Kentucky. After much wandering, and when 
 hope of finding shelter for the night was about gone, he espied 
 a friendly light coming from the lone window of a squatter's 
 cabin. His tale was soon told, and he was informed by the 
 squatter and his wife in very broken English that he might 
 ''sleep the hearth on, or go the ladder up and sleep mit the 
 baby." He chose the hearth and in the morning almost had an 
 attack of heart failure when he found the baby to be a buxom 
 big girl not a day under seventeen. Right there and then the 
 horseman decided that in the future he would investigate all

 information before making up his mind, even on so small a 
 matter as a place to sleep. 
 
 We have been hammering the general public each year for 
 the past twenty-five years, with samples to test, and with books 
 and circulars giving complete information on the many horse 
 ailments, and how to administer the different remedies we man- 
 ufacture, to insure a sure and satisfactory cure. 
 
 The result is that to-day thousands of satisfied customers carry 
 a full line of our remedies in stock right along. There are still 
 many good horsemen who have not availed themselves of the 
 opportunity to investigate this matter, remember there is a bind- 
 ing guarantee behind every bottle or box of medicine Dr. Lesure 
 puts up, and if you are not already one of our many customers, 
 just stop a moment and think it over. ''They are standard in 
 every respect, easy to administer and sure for good results, 
 which means a great saving of both time and money to all 
 owners of livestock." Isn't it about time for you to quit 
 sleeping on the hearth? 
 
 PREPARING THE FOOT FOR THE SHOE. 
 
 First, before removing the old shoe, examine the foot carefully, 
 so as to see what it needs to get it in proper balance. After hav- 
 ing this thoroughly fixed in your mind, remove the shoe by care- 
 fully cutting the clinches and raising the heels of the shoe gently 
 with a pair of thick-jawed pincers, taking care not to bruise the 
 heel or strain the foot-joint, as I have seen horses made lame 
 by careless pulling of the shoes. Then use the dirt hook to clean 
 out the dirt and any foreign substance that may have collected in

 the creases alongside the frog. Next take the round knife and 
 trim off all the ragged parts of the frog; and then with the hoof 
 parers, start at the heel and go around the foot, paring the hoof 
 as level as possible ; and finish up with the rasp, so as to get a 
 perfectly level surface for the shoe. 
 
 Never, under any circumstances, put a hot shoe to the foot 
 so as to level its mark, but fit the shoe perfectly level, pinch- 
 ing out the nail holes and slightly slanting in so as to get a good, 
 deep hole in the hoof Never drive the nails higher in the hoof 
 than is absolutely necessary, as nails driven high up in the hoof 
 deaden the hoof and cause it to dry out more quickly, resulting 
 in contraction and many other troubles. In finishing the hoof, 
 never rasp it any above the nails nor rasp too deep a crease under 
 the nails. Use the clinching tongs to turn the clinches down 
 without hammering any on top of the hoof, especially on a 
 colt's foot, or that of a horse that is tender in the feet. 
 
 HOW TO FIT THE SHOE. 
 
 The shoe should be fitted to the foot, and not the foot to the 
 shoe. The common practice is to pick out a shoe from a miscel- 
 laneous stock, and nail on the one which comes the nearest. Is 
 it a wonder that we have contracted feet and navicular disease? 
 The shoe should cover the crust or wall all around the foot, and 
 the heels should not extend straight back from the quarters, 
 which are the weakest parts of the wall, making a wedge of the 
 heel of the foot between the heels of the shoe and causing con- 
 traction. Let the shoe fit the wall to a hair's breadth ; if drawn 
 too far in, it will cause corns by bruising the inside heel of the

 Dear Sir: I have used some of Dr. Lesure's Colic Cure and find it is the 
 best thing I have ever tried for colic. I sold some of it to a Mr. Jacobs. 
 Said he was seventy years old and had handled horses all his life, and said 
 it was the finest thing he ever used.

 sole. In fact, the proper shoe is but an extension of the wall of 
 the hoof, made of harder material for its protection. A shoe 
 without calks is the best, as it gives a level bearing, yet calks 
 cannot always be dispensed with. It should be of the same thick- 
 ness all around, and only sufficiently heavy to endure the weight 
 of the horse. Too heavy shoes require very heavy nails, which 
 are injurious. The web should not be very wide, and is better 
 if hollowed or concaved on the ground surface, as it gives a 
 better hold , and is nearer the natural shape. The surface applied 
 to the foot should be perfectly true and smooth, so that a perfect 
 union can be made without an excessive number of nails, and 
 without tightly clinching. The shoe should make a water-proof 
 joint, forming, as it were, part and parcel of the wall. 
 
 BITTING AND HARNESSING COLTS. 
 
 This should not be doneby driving or riding, but by puttinga 
 light bridle with an ordinary snaffle bit on the colt, and leaving 
 it on for a few hours each day until he ceases to "fight the bit," 
 after which gentle pressure, by the use of the check rein attached 
 to a surcingle, should be given, and gradually increased by short- 
 ening the check until the head is held in about the position de- 
 sired. This teaches him to carry a good head, and at the same 
 time to yield to pressure upon the bit; his mouth becomes accus- 
 tomed to it, and w^e avoid the sore mouths so often seen in colts 
 when they are driven or ridden without preliminary bitting. The 
 harness should then be put on and the colt should be allowed to 
 run in a large box stall or paddock for a few hours each day

 Dear Sir: Since installing one of your Veterinary Medicine cases we have 
 found that our horses are doing better than they have for years ; in fact 
 they are in better condition than ever before, and we would not be without 
 Dr. Lesure's Medicines for ten times the cost.

 until he becomes accustomed to having the harness put on, to 
 wearing it, and to having it removed, v^ithout fear or nervous- 
 ness. He is then ready to be driven, which may be done either 
 with a good-mannered mate or singly. I do not think it wise 
 to drive two colts together at first. In fact, teach a colt to go 
 singly first, and then we seldom have trouble when we want it 
 to go with a mate ; but many prefer driving him with a steady 
 but prompt old horse first. Whichever we do, I think we should 
 drive him a few times with just the harness before hitching to 
 a rig. It is well to give him a few lessons this way first. Teach 
 him to stand, go on, back, etc., and allow him to see all the sights 
 that are liable to frighten him. When he is hitched we should see 
 that both harness and rig are strong. The idea that '' any old 
 thing" is good enough to hitch a colt to is entirely wrong. 
 The "old thing" may break and the colt injure himself or run 
 awa3^ and thereby acquire habits that he is very slow to 
 forget. Have things so strong that they are not liable to break, 
 and be in a position to conquer him without violence or harsh- 
 ness if he act badly, as will sometimes occur notwithstanding 
 all care taken. If driving singly, it is wise to use a kicking 
 strap for the first few times. 
 
 DRIVING. 
 
 It may be generally remarked that men who drive fast have 
 swift horses ; not that they drive fast because they have swift 
 horses, but because fast driving makes horses swift. A horse 
 may commonly be trained to a dull and heavy, or to an airy and 
 fleet, gait. Nature unquestionably does much; but education does 
 far more towards producing the great difference in the speed of

 horses than most men are willing to admit. Horses are more

 than beyond their natural power. The best direction for the 
 education of horses is, ''Drive fast and stop often."

 THE GREATEST LEAK IN HORSE VALUK 
 
 Special Notice— Census reports show that there are 26,000,000 
 horses and mules in the United States and that only one-third 
 of them are considered to be of sound hoof. Three-fourths of 
 all lameness in horses can be traced directly to the feet. One 
 diseased hoof on a $200 horse will diminish his value to $50 in 
 a very short time. One application a week of Dr. Lesure's Elec- 
 tric Hoof Ointment will stop this leak in horse value, and a 
 daily application will soon restore unsound hoofs to a healthy 
 condition. It softens, toughens, and promotes a very rapid 
 growth.

 KARBO CREAM DISINFECTANT. 
 
 The Most Powerful Antiseptic and Germ Killer Known to 
 Modern Science* It is Safe, Sure, Cheap, Handy, Effective 
 and Convenient* Should Be Used in Every Home, Hotel, 
 and Factory, and Public Buildings, Steam Boats, Railroad 
 Cars, Places of Amusement, Stores, Stations, Stables, Kennels, 
 Dairy Barns, or any Place Inhabited by Man or Where 
 Domestic Animals are Kept* 
 
 As a disinfectant it is non-poisonous, non-explosive, non-cor- 
 rosive, making it a safe, harmless remedy to use anywhere, 
 under all circumstances. 
 
 Karbo Cream is a heavy, carbolized liquid compound ; and 
 when properly diluted with water it makes a pure white solution 
 that can be applied, without leavingany stain, blemish, or injury 
 of any kind, to floors, wood or marble halls, mattings, carpets, 
 clothes of any description, upholstered car seats, cabs, blankets, 
 hospital cots, undertakers' wagons or in fact anywhere that a 
 good, active, clean disinfectant and antiseptic germ killer is 
 required. 
 
 Directions.— For all ordinary disinfecting purposes, take one 
 part Karbo Cream to 50 parts of water. For very bad odors 
 or foul places, take one part of the fluid to 16 parts of water. 
 For washing up floors, one-half pint to a pail of water. For 
 factories, public halls, etc., sprinkle all floors, closets, etc. 
 
 To Prevent Infection from Contagious Diseases, put the 
 solution in vessels in sick room, and in spittoons, chamber uten- 
 sils, and commodes a teaspoonful to a pint of water. 
 
 For Disinfecting When Washing infected clothing, put a 
 tablespoonful into boiler with clothes. For sinks, bath tubs, 
 urinals, garbage cans, water-closets, drains, gutters, waste- 
 pipes, cesspools, etc., one gill to a quart of water. 
 
 Buffalo Bugs and Moths. — One gill to a pail of water. 
 Sprinkle thoroughly under carpets, especially around the edges. 
 If carpets have become infested with moths, sponge face of carpet

 with same solution. It will improve the looks of your carpets 
 and destroy the moths. 
 
 Karho Cream in solution can be used at all times with perfect 
 safety. The fumes arising from it are highly beneficial to health. 
 
 Butchers and Fish Dealers will find Karbo Cream very good 
 for keeping down bad odors and arresting all decay. Use three 
 ounces to a pail of water. 
 
 Dandruff. — There is no preparation on earth that will clean 
 the scalp better than one teaspoonful of Karbo Cream in a quart 
 of warm water. Rub the solution in well, allowing it to remain 
 for a few minutes; then rinse the hair wnth water. 
 
 Warts or Corns.— Apply Karbo Cream twice a day for eight 
 or ten days to either warts or corns and they will disappear; 
 nothing better. 
 
 The Bath. — Always use a teaspoonful of Karbo Cream in the 
 water when taking a bath. It will stop itching, sweeten, purify, 
 and soften the skin. Also acts as a defence against contagious 
 diseases. 
 
 For Private Use, as an injection or wash for either men or 
 women, use 15 to 20 drops to a pint of warm water. It cures 
 urethral and vaginal discharges, reduces inflammation, stops 
 pain, and kills all disease germs. 
 
 Perspiring-, Fetid Feet.— Kavho Cream is a sovereign remedy 
 for this obnoxious trouble. Soak the feet in a strong solution 
 twice a week, especiaHy during warm weather. The result ob- 
 tained will please you. 
 
 Where There Is Smallpox, Scarlet Fever, Typhoid Fever, 
 Diphtheria, or Consumption, etc. — Use strong solution of 
 Karbo Cream constantly. It will destroy all germs and prevent 
 the spread of these dangerous diseases. It will disinfect, cleanse, 
 purify and help to heal cuts, wounds, ulcers, bites or stings, 
 skin abrasions, chapped hands, or sores, of any kind. 
 
 Whitewash. — Use strong solution in all lime mixtures ; disin- 
 fects, and makes the lime stick much better. 
 
 For Veterinary, Farm, and Garden Uses, Stables, Kennels, 
 etc., sprinkle freely all floors, troughs, mangers, pens, etc., with 
 one-half pint to a pail of water.

 Mange on Horses. — Wash all affected parts with a solution 
 of one-half pint to a gallon of water. 
 
 Ulcers, Sores, Wounds, etc. — Take one part to fifty parts of 
 water for washing sores, wounds, mud scratches, grease-heel, 
 thrush, etc. 
 
 To Keep Off Flies, Destroy Insects, etc. — One ounce to two 
 quarts of water. Either use as a spray or sponge all parts of 
 body twice a day. 
 
 Mange and Fleas on Dogs and Cats. — Take a tablespoonful 
 to a quart of warm water. Apply thoroughly to all parts of 
 the body with a brush. Four to six applications will effect a 
 permanent cure. 
 
 Hen Lice. — One part to fifty parts of water. Spray or sprinkle 
 all parts of nests, coops, and houses once a week during the sum- 
 mer months. Paint the roosts with a mixture of equal parts of 
 Karbo Cream, flour, sulphur, and coal oil. Apply hot. A sure 
 exterminator and preventative. Add a few drops of Karbo 
 Cream to the chicken's drinking water to keep them healthy. 
 
 For the Garden.— It is infallible for destroying bugs that eat 
 and destroy young cucumbers, squash,or pumpkin plants. Spray 
 with a solution of one part to one hundred parts of water. 
 Same solution for spraying in hot-houses, rose bushes, vines, 
 or shrubs of any kind. 
 
 Hog CAo/era.— By sprinkling the pens once a week during the 
 hot months with a strong solution of Karbo Cream and adding 
 a few drops of the strong fluid to the swill or drinking-water 
 occasionally, you will not need have any fear of hog cholera 
 getting into your herd. 
 
 Remember this Maxim: — A few cents' worth of prevention is 
 worth many dollars' worth of cure. The great majority of the 
 people of this country are just beginning to realize that it is 
 absolutely necessary for their health and comfort to use a liberal 
 amount of disinfectants, antiseptics, and germicides constantly. 
 Karbo Cream is manufactured on strictly scientific principles, so 
 as to create the greatest amount of antiseptic qualities, and will 
 be found altogether reliable under all circumstances.

 DR. LESURE'S REMEDIES FOR FAMILY USE. 
 
 Several of my Specific 
 
 Remedies will be found just 
 
 as valuable for family use as 
 
 they are for veterinary prac- 
 tice. The only essential point 
 
 in administering them is to 
 
 remember that the dose for a 
 
 horse is usually ten to twelve 
 
 times greater than the dose 
 
 for a man; otherwise, as to 
 
 strength and purity, the Med- 
 icines have no difierence 
 
 whatever. I am continually 
 
 receiving many kind letters 
 
 from people assuring me of 
 
 the great benefit they have 
 
 received from their use. 
 
 Colic and Cramps. — Take five drops of the No. 1 Colic Cure 
 
 every 15 minutes until relieved. As it is very bitter, most people 
 
 prefer taking it in sweetened water. 
 
 Chills and Fever. — Take at once two- to three-drop doses of 
 
 the Fever drops in half a teaspoonful of water every hour until 
 
 four to six doses are taken, when the time between doses may be 
 
 extended to two hours. Never give over three drops at a single 
 
 dose ; iDut if the chill is heavy, it may 
 be given every 30 minutes at first. 
 
 InBammation of Bowels. — Treat 
 same as for Chills, and take a table- 
 spoonful of castor- or sweet oil every 
 three hours until the bowels are in a 
 lax condition. Rub the Special Lini- 
 ment over the abdomen and keep as 
 quiet as possible until all pain has 
 subsided. 
 
 InBamtnation of Stomach or Bow- 
 els. — Treat same as for Chills, and 
 apply the Special Liniment to 
 abdomen. Take tablespoonful doses 
 of castor- or sweet oil until a lax 
 
 USE IN THE NICK OF TIME.

 condition of the bowels is secured. Keep the body in as quiet 
 a condition as possible. 
 
 Coughs and Colds.— There is no family preparation on the 
 market that will favorably compare with my Cough and Tonic 
 Drops for breaking up a cough, either new or old, or for reliev- 
 ing a cold. Take ten drops on sugar every two to four hours, 
 according to the severity of the case. 
 
 Bronchial Affections. —Treat with Cough and Tonic Drops 
 same as for Coughs and Colds, and apply the Special Liniment 
 to the throat and chest. 
 
 Indigestion.— As a tonic and stomach regulator Dr. Lesure's 
 Cough and Tonic Drops stand unequaled. Its action upon the 
 stomach, liver, and kidneys is so beneficial that the result will 
 astonish the most skeptical who will give it a trial. If you have 
 indigestion, loss of appetite, or a run-down, tired feeling, or if 
 your kidneys do not act properly, take three 10-drop doses daily 
 in a little water for two weeks, and the result will be altogether 
 satisfactory. 
 
 Sore Gums. — Apply Dr. Lesure's All-Healing Balm at least 
 three times a day. 
 
 Dr. Lesure^s Family Liniment.— As an external remedy for 
 family use, this Liniment should be kept on hand at all times. 
 It is not greasy or sticky, and has no disagreeable smell to annoy 
 the user. One application will convince any one of its great 
 penetrating qualities. It has no equal for removing pain, for 
 reducing Sprains, or for relieving Rheumatic Soreness, Stiff 
 Joints, Inflammation, Neuralgia, Sore Throat, Bee Stings, Mos- 
 quito Bites, and Ivy Poisoning. Strengthens Weak Ankles and 
 relaxes Sore Muscles. Its great strength makes it both the best 
 and the cheapest family liniment in existence. 
 
 Directions. — Never apply any liniment until the affected part 
 has been thoroughly bathed with water, as hot as the patient 
 can stand it, from five to twenty minutes. This will remove all 
 greasy substance and open the pores of the skin. If the skin is 
 highly inflamed or shows tenderness, simply bathe the parts 
 lightly, without rubbing in. When quick action is desired, apply 
 the Liniment in greater quantity, with plenty of friction, and 
 cover with flannel cloths. Should there be too much irritation 
 produced, apply sweet oil or vaseline. 
 
 ALWA.YS FOLLOW DIRECTIONS CAREFULLY.

 Mosquito and Poisonous Insect Bites will have no terrors for 
 people who keep a bottle of Lesure's Family Liniment on hand. 
 It kills the poison and gives instant relief. A few drops rubbed 
 on the hands and face when camping out will keep mosquitoes 
 away. 
 
 Rheumatism.— Apply the Liniment freely and take internally 
 five-drop doses of equal parts of spirits of turpentine and oil of 
 wintergreen three times a day. This treatment has cured many 
 obstinate cases. 
 
 Toothache. — Saturate a small lump of cotton and apply to 
 cavity of tooth. 
 
 Sore Feet. — Many people are troubled with perspiring and 
 tender feet. To secure foot comfort, bathe the feet once a day 
 in cold water, adding 60 drops of Karbo Cream. Wipe dry and 
 apply a light application of Dr. Lesure's Liniment. 
 
 Athletes will find Dr. Lesure's Liniment a reliable remedy in 
 every respect for Knotted Cords, Sore Muscles, Sore Feet, 
 Wrenched Back or Ankle, Bumps, Sprains and Bruises. Many 
 professional ball players call it " Lesure's Get There Liniment." 
 
 Warts or Cor^s.— Apply Karbo Cream, full strength, to either 
 Warts or Corns twiceadayforlOdays, and they will disappear. 
 Nothing better. 
 
 Dandruff. — There is no preparation on earth that will remove 
 Dandruff from the scalp like one teaspoonful of Karbo Cream 
 in a quart of warm water. Rub the solution in well with the 
 hands, allowing it to remain for a few minutes ; then rinse the 
 hair with cold water. 
 
 The Bath. Always add a tablespoonful of Karbo Cream to 
 the water when taking a bath. It will stop itching, and sweeten, 
 purify, and soften the skin. Also acts as a defense against con- 
 tagious diseases. 
 
 For Private Use as an injection or wash for either men or 
 women. Use 15 to 20 drops in a pint of warm water. It cures 
 urethral and vaginal discharges, reduces inflammation, stops 
 pain, and kills all disease germs. 
 
 Perspiring, Fetid Feet.— Karbo Cream is a sovereign remedy 
 for this obnoxious trouble. Soak the feet in a strong solution 
 twice a week, especially during warm weather. The result will 
 be satisfactory.

 A FEW THINGS WORTH REMEMBERING- 
 
 That in these days of great competition, most horsemen do 
 their work with a rush and also feed their horses with a rush, 
 watering in the same manner, and then kick because their horses 
 get out of condition, or rely on some cheap stock food to help 
 them out. Think it over. 
 
 That when horses are worked hard and fed heavily, they need 
 a good tonic and renovator to keep their digestive organs in a 
 strong and healthy condition. Dr. Lesure's Renovator Pow- 
 ders keep horses well. 
 
 That cheap horse medicines are like cheap shoddy clothes- 
 no good. 
 
 That Dr. Lesure's celebrated Cough and Tonic Drops is the 
 remedy for a sick horse that will not eat. Just place 30 drops 
 on his tongue three times a day for a few days and note the 
 result. 
 
 That all of Dr. Lesure's famous Remedies are guaranteed 
 under the Pure Food and Drug Act of June 30, 1906, Serial No. 
 550, and that they are subject to government inspection at 
 all times. You take no chances when using Lesure's.

 DR. LESURE'S 
 REMEDIES FOR COWS AND CATTLE. 
 
 Cattle are Subject to some very dangerous diseases ; but as 
 their life is less artificial and their structure less complex, they 
 are not liable to the great variety of ailments that affect the 
 horse. The general pathology of the horse and ox being little 
 different, the fundamental rules for treatment in both, when not 
 particularized, will be found the same. 
 
 Bloat, Colic, or Scours.— G'lYe at onceDr. Lesure's Colic Cure 
 in 30-drop doses; a sure and speedy cure. 
 
 Run-down Condition. — Dr. Lesure's Renovator Powders cure 
 indigestion and loss of appetite, make rich red blood and greatly 
 improve the flow of milk. One trial will convince any dairyman 
 of the value of this treatment. 
 
 Sore Teats, Rotten Claws.— Dr. Lesure's All-Healing Balm is 
 the remedy, cheap, safe and sure, for any kind of wounds. 
 
 Milk Fever, InEammation of the Womb, etc.— Dr. Lesure's 
 Fever Drops will be found indispensable for these ailments. 
 This remedy should be kept at hand in every well-regulated 
 dairy stable. When a cow shows signs of fever, give at once a 
 quart of raw linseed oil, follow with 30-drop doses of Fever 
 Drops every hour until four to six doses are given. With good 
 
 CARELESSNESS CAUSES THE DEATH OF MANY ANIMALS. 
 
104 DR. J. G. LESURE'S VETERINARY REMEDIES 
 
 nursing added to this treatment, no man need worry, call a 
 veterinary surgeon, or give any other medicine. It is well to 
 give a few doses of Fever Drops and Renovator Powders to 
 cows before and after calving. They make healthy cows, strong 
 calves, and pure, rich milk. The above treatment is used exclu- 
 sively by a surgeon who makes dairy practice a specialty, and 
 who has personally informed me that he never looses a case 
 that he is called to treat in any reasonable time. 
 
 Cattle Surgery is in no respect different from that practiced 
 among horses. Wounds are treated in the same manner ; and 
 strains, sprains, bruises, etc., are also to be treated the same 
 as in horses. 
 
 Foul in Hoof.— Cleanse with disinfectant and pack with 
 Hoof Ointment. 
 
 Cattle Obstetrics is not very varied. Young cows of very 
 full habits ofttimeshave superabundant secretion of milk before 
 calving, sometimes from cold taken. The same will occur after 
 calving also. In either case give a mild, dry diet, or hay. Bathe 
 the udder freely with Dr. Lesure's Fever Drops and give30-drop 
 doses every two hours internally. There will be no caked udder 
 where this treatment is followed. As much pain follows these 
 troubles, treatment should be prompt. 
 
 Vermin, Lice, Bad Odor, etc. — Karbo Cream Disinfectant is 
 the remedy. It kills lice, parasites, or any skin germ affections, 
 and wards off contagious diseases by thoroughly disinfecting the 
 animals, stable, etc., w^here it is applied. It is cheap, safe, and 
 certain. When diluted with water, one gallon of the fluid 
 makes a barrel strong enough for any use. 
 
 The Process of Calving. — Usually performed without much 
 difficulty; sometimes, however,crosspresentation takes place,and 
 sometimes a constriction of parts prevents the natural passage of 
 the calf. To act properly on these occasions great patience is 
 required and much mildness; many valuable cows have been lost 
 by brutal pulling. W^e have seen all the men and boys on a 
 farm mustered to pull at a rope affixed to a calf partly protrud- 
 ing, which, when it was finally brought away, w^as dead; and the 
 mother soon died also, from the protrusion of the parts this brutal 
 force brought about. A steady, moderate pull during the strain 
 of the animal will assist much, if the attention has first been 
 directed to the situation of the calf to see that the position is 
 
 EVERYBODY ADMIRES A GOOD HORSE. 
 
FOR PRIVATE TREATMENT OF DOMESTIC ANIMALS. 105 
 
 such as not to obstruct its progress; otherwise the calf must be 
 forced back and turned or placed aright. Never hurry or get 
 excited. Give assistance at the proper time v^hen needed, and 
 nature will do the rest. 
 
 To Prevent Aborting. — Feed Dr. Lesure's Renovator Pow- 
 ders. Bone meal is also advised by some as being a preventative. 
 
 For Constipation. — Feed well-cooked mash, carrots, and soft 
 foods of any kind, and add a dose of Dr. Lesure's Renovator 
 with a pint of linseed meal every day for a week or ten days. 
 
 Garget in Cows. — This trouble usually occurs in cows that are 
 well-fed, and in good condition when calving. It affects mostly 
 one or two parts of the udder, which becomes caked by the 
 inflamed condition. 
 
 Treatment.— GivQ at once a quart of raw linseed oil or a pound 
 of Epsom salts. Feed only dry food ; clean hay is best for two 
 or three days. Bathe the affected parts of the udder freely with 
 Dr. Lesure's Fever Drops twice a day, and give internally 30- 
 drop doses of same three times a day for two days. Milk clean 
 as soon as possible, and you will be pleased with the results. 
 
 Salt. — A milk cow should have at least two ounces of salt 
 every day, as it increases the flow of milk, makes sw^eeter butter, 
 and keeps the digestive organs strong, insuring a healthy, profit- 
 able cow. 
 
 Poor Feeders. — Cause: Musty feed, overworked digestive 
 apparatus, etc. Give lime-water in drink, feed two doses of Dr. 
 Lesure's Renovator Powders daily for one week. This w411 
 bring any animal back to normal condition. 
 
 Dr. Lesure's Special Liniment is a great antiseptic and germ 
 killer for foot rot, and also for scabs and grub worms in sheep 
 and mange in cattle. Every raiser of stock and every farm 
 should keep this liniment on hand.

 DR. J. G. LESURE'S VETERINARY REMEDIES 
 
 THE CARE AND TREATMENT OF HOGS WITH 
 DR- LESURE'S REMEDIES, 
 
 The general treatment for sick and diseased hogs never seems 
 to have been practiced with much success by any one. Yet it 
 has become an old saying among medical men that the stomach 
 and intestines of the hog resemble the same organs in man. It is 
 a well-known fact that the hog, when in a healthy condition, is a 
 most wonderfully courageous animal, both pugnacious and de- 
 termined under all circumstances. When sick, however, hogs 
 soon become very helpless creatures, losing all energy to help 
 themselves in the least and in many cases refusing food alto- 
 gether; and as their nature makes it very difficult to administer 
 treatment except in their food, the all-important question for all 
 breeders to decide naturally would be, Which will be the most 
 profitable to practice, in every possible way to prevent disease 
 among his herd, or rely on some treatment advanced after some 
 of the animals have become infected ? Certainly the former is 
 
 the more economical 
 
 and common-sense 
 view of the matter. 
 Many otherwise good 
 business men have 
 the erroneous idea 
 that the hog is such a 
 filthy animal by na- 
 ture that it needs 
 very little care from 
 a sanitary point of view. This is altogether wrong, as practical 
 experience has many times proved that if the pens are kept fairly 
 clean where hogs are confined, with dry straw added occasionally 
 for a litter, they will soon adjust themselves to clean habits de- 
 positing droppings and urine in a certain quarter of the pen, 
 which they are very careful not to inhabit for any other purpose. 
 It is certainly a pleasing sighttolookataherdof well-cared-for, 
 clean-bristled , and good-conditioned Chester Whites, or any other 
 breed ; and it is very rare that people who will give them the 
 amount of care that they deserve, with a proper diet, have any 
 reason to complain of financial loss through sickness or contag- 
 ious diseases. 
 
 KEEP A GOOD SUPPLY OF REMEDIES ON HAND. 
 
FOR PRIVATE TREATMENT OF DOMESTIC ANIMALS. 107 
 
 Care and Feeding.— Thirst, keep the hogs in as clean and dry 
 a place as possible. Avoid all wet marshes or low lands for their 
 run, see that they have a cool, shady place to rest and pure fresh 
 water to drink. Never allow them to get at refuse or filthy 
 matter of any kind, and protect them from bacilli and disease 
 germs that lurk in stagnant water pools. Hogs will often root 
 off more flesh than good feed will put on. The nose ring will 
 stop this. Brood sows are especially vicious rooters. Charcoal 
 is very good for hogs at all times. When hogs are confined, the 
 pens, which are the safest place for them to avoid sickness, should 
 be kept clean and be thoroughly disinfected with a strong solu- 
 tion of Karbo Cream; also add some to lime, and whitewash all 
 pens at least once a month. A crushed ration of mixed grains 
 is best for growing shoats. A liberal supply of clover is also 
 good. Add a few drops of Karbo Cream to their drink ; it will 
 keep them disease-proof. Dr. Lesure's Renovator Powders will 
 make pure red blood and cause a rapid growth. 
 
 Cholera or Swine Plague. — This is the most dangerous disease 
 that hogs are subject to, proving fatal in most cases, often carry- 
 ing off whole herds. It has been characterized by many authori- 
 ties as a specific type of blood-poison caused by germs (bacilli) 
 from filthy conditions. It is contagious, often being traced di- 
 rectly to the introduction of hogs from distant states. There is 
 so much Hog Cholera in the great swine producing States of 
 the Middle West that it is impossible to keep stock-cars and 
 stock-yards free from infection. As soon as this disease appears, 
 the infected animals should be separated from the herd and 
 quarantined for at least ten weeks. 
 
 Symptoms. — General prostration; snout and ears have a dark 
 ash or lead color ; squeals of anguish, showing great distress, 
 followed by red blotches on neck and body, which soon turn to 
 a dark blue as the disease advances. Death usually follows in 
 from 12 to 36 hours. 
 
 Treatment. — Must be prompt and energetic if any cure is to 
 be hoped for. Give at once as an emetic one-half ounce blood- 
 root, and 30 drops tincture of lobelia in a gill of strong mustard 
 water. Follow with 20-drop doses of Dr. Lesure's Fever Drops 
 every hour until four to six doses are given. If the animal will 
 drink, add one-half ounce of saltpetre (nitre) and two ounces 
 of Epsom salts to the water. This will cool the blood and keep 
 
 THE RIGHT DOSE AT THE RIGHT TIME SAVES THE ANIMAL. 
 
108 DR. J. G. LESURE'S VETERINARY REMEDIES 
 
 the bowels in a lax condition. Give my Cough and Tonic Drops 
 in 30-drop doses three times a day. It is a great tonic and 
 diuretic for all domestic animals. Adding five drops of Karbo 
 Cream for each hog in the drinking water twice a week is almost 
 a sure preventative against Cholera. 
 
 Apoplexy, Fits. — This complaint is confined to overfed or 
 very fat hogs. 
 
 Symptoms -V^ alls over suddenly with legs outstretched twitch- 
 ing of muscles, and convulsive breathing, as if in a fit. Treat- 
 ment must be quick. Inject at once with glycerine or a strong 
 solution of soap and water, adding a little salt. Turn a stream 
 of cold water on head and neck or use cracked ice in a sack. 
 As soon as the animal has recovered sufiiciently, give one-half 
 ounce of oil of sassafras and three ounces of Epsom salts. 
 Repeat until the evacuations of the bowels become free. Reduce 
 the feed and give three 30-drop doses of my Cough and Tonic 
 Drops for a few days. 
 
 Skin Disease, Itch, etc.— Often caused by an overheated con- 
 dition or impure blood. Give doses of Epsom salts as directed 
 and apply the All-Healing Balm externally, a-dding a few doses 
 of Renovator Powders. This will soon effect a cure. 
 
 Lice.— Take two ounces of Karbo Cream, full strength, one- 
 half pound of melted lard, and one gallon of kerosene oil; shake 
 well before applying. This mixture will be found a sure extermi- 
 nator office or ticks. One application is sufficient. Whitewash 
 all pens, or spray with solution of Karbo Cream. 
 
 Worms.— Many thousands of dollars in feed are wasted every 
 year on hogs infected with worms. Dr. Lesure's Worm Annihi- 
 lator given in one-half-package doses twice a day in bran mash 
 will dispel these parasites in a short time and improve the gen- 
 eral condition very much. 
 
 Constipation.— Very often caused by milk diet. Change diet 
 and add the Renovator Powders, one dose package to every 
 three hogs, for a week. 
 
 Feeding Pigs.— Crushed oats with milk is one of the best diets 
 for young pigs ; not too much at a time, but feed often. The 
 stomach of young pigs is very small and can easily be overloaded, 
 as they have ravenous appetites. Dr. Lesure's Renovator Pow- 
 ders will be found a sovereign remedy for swine at all times. 
 
 MY GOODS ARE RELIABLE— THE EXPENSE IS LITTLE. 
 
FOR PRIVATE TREATMENT OF DOMESTIC ANIMALS. 109 
 
 Scours can always be traced to indigestion. Charcoal and 
 sulphur, with a few doses of Renovator Powders, stop Scouring 
 and aid digestion. 
 
 P/7es. — Found generally in pigs fed on refuse milk from a 
 creamery or cheese factory, which causes extreme constipation. 
 Give purge of Epsom salts or castor oil. Grease the protruding 
 rectum with sweet oil and inject the All-Healing Balm three 
 times a day for two days. Feed crushed feed, with pure water 
 to drink. 
 
 Abscess. — Abscesses are generally found on the under side of 
 the neck, on the legs, or in the groins. They are sometimes 
 caused by blows that bruise the bone; more often by impure blood 
 and a general run-down condition. Apply my Electric Hoof 
 Ointment, to soften the skin, until they come to a head; then open 
 with a knife, so that the corruption can be freely discharged. 
 Syringe the cavity with a solution of Karbo Cream. This will 
 disinfect and heal. It is very important to feed the Renovator 
 Powders in bran mashes during treatment. 
 
 Rheumatism. — Take oil of wintergreen, oil of sassafras, and 
 spirits of turpentine, each one ounce; mix and give 30-drop 
 doses three times a day for three or four days. Rub the legs 
 well with a corn-cob or stiff brush and apply the Special Liniment 
 to the parts affected and over the spine. Feed soft food, adding 
 Renovator Powders. 
 
 Things to Remember. — That pork is the principal meat diet of 
 most families; that healthy pork cannot be expected from filthy 
 and disease-laden quarters; that Karbo Cream disinfectant kills 
 germs and purifies the air, is cheap and is a necessity where 
 domestic animals are kept for profit; that no man can afford to 
 combine filth and disease germs with what he or his family 
 expects to eat.

 DISEASES OF SHEEP AND HOW TO TREAT THEM 
 WITH DR, LESURE'S REMEDIES. 
 
 The diseases of sheep are numerous, for these animals are now 
 so highly cultivated that they may be regarded in some respects 
 as artificial machines; and thus as a natural consequence they are 
 subject to a variety of artificial defects and maladies. Being the 
 most timid of all domestic animals, they are naturally more 
 susceptible to disease when scattered over such a wide expanse 
 of territory and through such different climates as this country 
 
 subjects them to. 
 Distemper, Snifldes, 
 Catarrh, etc., seem to 
 be the most trouble- 
 some ailments that 
 sheep are subject to, 
 soon causing debility 
 and a general run- 
 down condition, from 
 which recovery is 
 slow, unless prompt 
 treatment is given. Dr. Lesure's Cough and Tonic Drops, in 10- 
 to 15-drop doses twice a day, will soon relieve any cough and 
 will act finely as a tonic in building up the system when it is 
 in a run-down condition. 
 
 Bronchitis, or inflammation of the bronchial tubes, is very 
 dangerous, causing convulsive coughing, running at the nose, 
 etc. Dr. Lesure's Cough and Tonic Drops, in 10- to 15-drop 
 doses, placed well back on the tongue, will effect a cure in a few 
 days. Feed Dr. Lesure's Renovator Powders, one powder to 
 three sheep, to cleanse the system. 
 
 Pneumonia.— Brought on by sudden exposure, causing chills 
 and fever, with great thirst. Death follows in from one to two 
 days unless treatment is prompt. Give a mild physic at once, if 
 the animal is constipated, and follow with drenches of 10 grains 
 of tartar emetic and one dram of ground ginger in four ounces 
 of warm water. Sometimes the symptoms of Pneumonia are not 
 immediately followed by death, but degenerate into an ulcera- 
 tion of the lungs. The affection is then called Glanderous Rot. 
 This stage is always fatal.

 A Chronic Cough in sheep, when not symptomatic of Rot, is 
 easily cured by a change of pasturage and a few doses of Dr. 
 Lesure's Cough and Tonic Drops. 
 
 InBammation of the Stomach occurs from various causes, a 
 common one being the eating of noxious vegetables, and pro- 
 duces the affection termed '^ Tremblings." It also produces the 
 ** Grass 111 " in lambs, which latter is always accompanied with 
 black foetid foeces, and is readily removed by an ounce of castor 
 oil ; while the former usually yields to half an ounce of turpen- 
 tine beaten up with the yolk of an ^gg. Some herbs, as Atropa 
 belladonna, when eaten produces spasmodic affections, often 
 called * * Leaping 111 . " In such cases take two drams of powdered 
 aloes, beat up with the yolk of an tgg^ add three ounces of water, 
 and give the whole as a drench. 
 
 Hoveiiy or Wind Coi/c— Sheep are as liable to be distended 
 with an enormous collection of gas in the stomach, the same as 
 cattle. GivelO-drop doses of Dr. Lesure's Colic Cure. A strong 
 solution of salt and water, given as a drench, is also beneficial. 
 
 Scouring is the diarrhoea of sheep and, in very hot weather, 
 soon carries them off. It should be early attended to by separat- 
 ing the affected and housing them. First give an ounce dose of 
 castor oil, and follow with tablespoonful doses of the following 
 mixture: Powdered chalk, one ounce; tannin one-half ounce; 
 extract of witch-hazel, one-half pint. Feed my Renovator Pow- 
 ders for a week. 
 
 Care of Ewes. — When nearing lambing season, the ewes should 
 have special attention in every particular. Strong, healthy ewes 
 are sure to drop robust lambs. For at least one month before the 
 time for lambing, all ewes should be fed Dr. Lesure's Renovator 
 Powders, one dose box to three sheep at least three times a 
 week. Add a liberal amount of linseed meal, with wheat bran 
 and salt, to their diet to keep the bowels in a smooth lax con- 
 dition. For Colic or after-pains, a few 5-drop doses of my No. 
 1 Colic Cure will relieve them in a short time. 
 
 Caked Udder.— Bathe the udder thoroughly with Dr. Lesure's 
 Fever Drops. One or two applications will effect a positive cure. 
 
 Salting Sheep. — A very successful sheep raiser once informed 
 me that he always made it a rule to mix a quantity of flowers 
 of sulphur with the salt and found it kept his herd almost 
 disease-proof 
 
 TO GIVE SATISFACTION 
 
112 DR. J. G. LESURE'S VETERINARY REMEDIES 
 
 Constipation— SheQp often become constipated, especially dur- 
 ing the winter months. The ailment often becomes so acute 
 that it causes them torn oan with pain when voiding dung. Give 
 three to five ounces Epsom salts, also injections of melted 
 lard or linseed oil. 
 
 InBamed Liver Yellows are liver affections arising from fever 
 setting in that organ or from obstructed bile irritating it. Some- 
 times there are strong marks of fever and at others more of 
 putrid corruption. Give once each day three grains of calomel 
 for six days, then work it off with a physic of two ounces of 
 castor oil or four ounces of Epsom salts . Separate those affected 
 from the herd, to a salt marsh if possible, and feed my Renova- 
 tor Powders daily for a while to tone up the system. 
 
 Foot Rot.— This disease is similar to Rotten Claw in cattle 
 and should be treated promptly. It is mostly caused by wet 
 pastures or foul matter in yards or sheds where the sheep are 
 housed . The first symptom is a slight limping movement, which 
 rapidly increases to a severe lameness when treatment is post- 
 poned. First, the foot should be thoroughly examined and all 
 diseased matter removed from the cleft between the toes with a 
 sharp knife. Then apply a strong solution of Karbo Cream to 
 thoroughly cleanse and disinfect all the parts affected. The very 
 best and surest way to accomplish this is to construct a trough 
 about twenty feet long and just wide enough for one sheep to 
 stand in, board up the sides, and then place in it a solution of 
 one part of Karbo Cream to thirty parts of warm water so as to 
 cover the bottom to a depth of about two inches. Run the sheep 
 into this solution. Four or five sheep can be treated at one time. 
 Allow them to remain in the foot-bath from ten to fifteen minutes 
 at a time. Remove and apply the All-Healing Balm. A few 
 treatments will effect a permanent cure. Feed my Renovator 
 Powders, to throw off all impure matter from the blood. 
 
 How to Protect Sheep from GadBy.— This fly is very danger- 
 ous to sheep, as it lays its eggs in the nostrils during the months 
 of August and September. There they are hatched into worms 
 that crawl up through nasal channels into the head, oftentimes 
 eating through to the brain. The best protection is tar, well 
 smeared over the sheep's nose during these two months. Also 
 spread tar over lick boards and sprinkle fine salt over it. Pre- 
 vention is always better than trying to cure.

 How to Know Age of Sheep. — At one year old, sheep have 
 ei^ht small teeth in front lower jaw, called incisors or cutters, 
 all very uniform in size; at two ^^ears old, the two middle ones 
 have fallen out, being replaced by two large ones; at three years, 
 a small one appears on each side of the large ones; at four years, 
 they have six large teeth, atfive3^ears, the whole eight are large 
 teeth ; at six years old, the teeth show a worn condition, some- 
 times several being partly broken, while in other cases one or 
 two teeth are entirely missing. 
 
 Milk-sick Lambs. — Caused by taking too much milk into the 
 stomach from a full udder; comes on suddenly, causing a swol- 
 len and distressed appearance. The milk has become like thick 
 curd in the stomach. Give at once 30 drops of aromatic spirits 
 of ammonia in a tablespoonful of water and follow with an 
 ounce of sweet oil or the same of powdered magnesia. 
 
 Diarrhoea in Lambs. — Treat with same kind of medicine and 
 same size of doses as 3'ou would give to children: powdered 
 chalk, laudanum, peppermint drops, ginger, etc. Follow^ with 
 small dose of Epsom salts or castor oil. 
 
 To Destroy Sheep Ticks.— Make a solution of 75 gallons of 
 warm water and one gallon of Karbo Cream. This wnll make the 
 finest sheep dip in the w^orld, as it will destroy all ticks and will 
 not injure either the sheep or the wool. The best time to dip 
 sheep is soon after shearing time, as then the ticks will be found 
 on the lambs, having no shelter on the sheared sheep. It takes 
 three persons to dip sheep properly — two to hold and dip the 
 animal, the third to squeeze the wool with the sheep held over 
 the tub. Be sure to keep the head out of the solution. 
 
 How to Fatten Sheep.— Clover hay, when cut while in full 
 bloom and properly cured, will fatten sheep. A sheep weighing 
 100 to 110 pounds will consume about 20 pounds of hay in a 
 week, and take on about two pounds in w^eight. By adding a 
 small ration of good oats each day, the fattening process wnll be 
 made much more rapid. Pine boughs given occasionally will 
 increase the appetite. Remember that Dr. Lesure's Renovator 
 Powders saves its cost many times over in aiding digestion, 
 purifying the blood, and causing a fine, healthy appearance in 
 all domestic animals. 
 
 Castrating Lambs. — Ma3^ be performed any time from the 
 age of a fortnight to that of a month or six weeks. 
 
 CARELESSNESS CAUSES THE DEATH OF MANY ANIMALS. 
 
114 DR. J. G. LESURE'S VETERINARY REMEDIES 
 
 Poison. — Sheep are often poisoned by eating laurel or ivy, as 
 it is commonly called (notthemagnolium). The symptoms are: 
 foaming at the mouth, and then vomiting the half-masticated 
 leaves and green juice, by v^hich the mouth of the animal is 
 often discolored. 
 
 Remedy.— Take a gill of either sweet oil, hog's lard, or fresh 
 butter; mix with a pint of nev7 milk. If taken seasonably this 
 will effect a cure. Or an egg may be given to each of the diseased 
 in the shape of a bolus, by simply breaking the shell and slipping 
 the yolk and as much of the white as practicable down the throat. 
 The sheep, after swallowing the egg, will vomit up the leaves 
 and green juice, but none of the eggs. To cows give four times 
 the quantity. 
 
 Sore Nipples.— hamhs often die of hunger from their dams 
 refusing them suck. The cause of this is either Sore Nipples 
 or Tumor in the udder, in which violent pain is caused by the 
 bunting of the lamb. My All-Healing Balm heals Sore Nipples 
 and allays inflammation. 
 
 GESTATION PERIOD OF DOMESTIC ANIMALS* 
 
 The mare is said to be in foal eleven months, or 330 days. 
 Young mares sometimes foal at ten months, while others have 
 extended the time to one year, and in rare cases to 400 days. 
 A mare kept at regular work will breed longer than one not 
 having any exercise, and as a rule foal stronger colts. 
 
 The best years to breed a mare are from 4 to 15 years 
 continuously. 
 
 The period of gestation in the cow is about 40 weeks or 9 
 calendar months ; in the ewe, five months or 150 days ; in the 
 sow, 110 to 130 days ; and in the bitch, from 60 to 65 days. 
 The heifer can be safely bred when fourteen months old. 
 
 Bristol, Conn., Jan. 15, 1907. 
 Dr. Lesure. 
 
 Dear Sir: I have used your remedies for a number of years with the 
 best of results. I never have had anything to equal the Colic Cure, Ointment 
 and Cough Drops. Can cure the worst case of Heaves in two months. 
 
 Respectfully,

 SOME PRACTICAL HINTS* 
 
 Never purchase a horse until you have seen it harnessed, 
 hitched, and unharnessed, and have examined its wind, eyes, 
 and feet carefully. Remember that cheap horses as a rule are 
 dear at any price. Never trade horses with a stranger or give 
 a cash consideration. 
 
 Remember it is easier and more profitable to prevent disease 
 than to cure it. Feed Dr. Lesure's Renovator Powders and pre- 
 vent stomach and bowel trouble. At the first sign of worms get 
 a 50-cent package of my Worm Annihilator. Follow directions 
 carefully, and it will dispel the parasites in a short time. 
 
 Teeth. — Have your horse's teeth examined at least once a 
 year. Incomplete mastication will cause indigestion. Neither 
 food nor medicine can do much good when the horse is not 
 grinding his food properly. 
 
 Beware of the man who tells you that you will surely be 
 cheated unless you buy and use his stock-in-trade. Good goods 
 are like good deeds ; they will show for themselves. 
 
 YOUR HORSE NEEDS MORE CARE THAN YOURSELF. 
 
116 DR. J. G. LESURE'S VETERINARY REMEDIES 
 
 Never employ a surgeon by the year. Call him when you 
 need him ; then settle promptly. You will receive better service. 
 Many horses die every year from lack of prompt treatment. 
 
 Colic is dangerous if not treated in the early stages. Keep 
 Dr. Lesure's Colic Cure on hand at all times. It is safe, sure, 
 and easy to give. Follow with a few doses of the Fever Drops 
 to ward off inflammation of the bowels. 
 
 When you are compelled to drive your horse into a heated 
 condition, see that it is cooled off properly. A few 30-drop 
 doses of my Fever Drops and a good hand rubbing may save 
 you a valuable horse. 
 
 Blankets were made to protect the horse, not for ornaments 
 on the carriage or sleigh. 
 
 The Stable should be light, dry, and well ventilated, so that 
 the ammonia and other gases can escape. See that all feed- 
 ing-boxes are kept sweet and clean, and disinfect the floors. 
 
 Never strike your horse suddenly when on sHppery streets. 
 The whip should be used only in cases of emergency. A firm 
 word of encouragement will cause a well-trained horse to do 
 his best. 
 
 Filthy Stalls cause Thrush, Scratches, and Grease- Heel. 
 Remove the manure daily. 
 
 Never force your horse past an object he shies at with the 
 whip. Give him time to recover from his fright; then speak 
 to him gently, when he will move on without fear. 
 
 Horses that are fed heavily and worked hard should have 
 the feed reduced, or changed to bran and oat mash when idle, 
 if only for a few days; otherwise you can expect Azoturia, 
 Paralysis, etc., when putting them to work again. 
 
 Avoid leaving a horse that has been driven warm to stand 
 facing a cold wind. 
 
 Never breed an unsound mare nor breed to an unsound horse. 
 You cannot expect a colt to be better than its sire or dam. 
 
 Treat all skin abrasions or harness galls as soon as noticed. 
 Remember the ''stitch in time" maxim. 
 
 Horse Stalls should be at least six feet wide and ten feet long, 
 sloping slightly to the rear. 
 
 Never quarrel with your horse. Be firm, but kind. Remember 
 that he is a noble, high-spirited animal and should be treated 
 well under all circumstances. 
 
 KEEP A GOOD SUPPLY OF REMEDIES ON HAND. 
 
FOR PRIVATE TREATMENT OF DOMESTIC ANIMALS. 117 
 
 Never purchase a horse with a weak, narrow chest; the 
 broader the chest the stronger the constitution. 
 
 Remember that Dr. Lesure's Electric Hoof Ointment grows 
 smooth, soft, and tough hoofs. 
 
 Always keep a full line of my Specific Remedies in the stable. 
 They are safe, sure, and reliable. 
 
 Every well-regulated farm should have an assortment of my 
 Remedies on hand at all times. They will save you time, worry, 
 and special trips to town for medicines or the surgeon. The 
 lack of prompt treatment for their domestic animals is costing 
 the farmers of this country thousands of dollars every year. 
 
 Do not forget that many of Dr. Lesure's Famous Remedies 
 are the very best that can be obtained for family use. 
 
 SITFASTS. 
 
 Sitfasts occur from the part being frequently bruised with a 
 saddle or collar until it becomes extremely hard, and after re- 
 maining some length of time it is not unlike a horny substance. 
 A satisfactory cure cannot be expected unless the knife is used, 
 cutting them entirely out, after which the fresh wound can be 
 healed with the greatest ease in a very short time with Dr. 
 Lesure's All-Healing Balm. 
 
 BLAZE OR STAR* 
 
 When you have a pair of horses that match well in every 
 respect except that one has a blaze or star in the face, it becomes 
 very interesting and important to know how to make their faces 
 match and to give them stars precisely alike. This may be done 
 in the following manner : Take a razor and shave off the hair 
 the form and size you wish the star to be made; then take a small 
 quantity of oil of vitriol and wnth a feather anoint the part 
 once, which w411 be quite sufficient. After the application of the 
 vitriol the part will become a little sore and inflamed. Heal the 
 sore with Dr. Lesure's All-Healing Balm and grease the spot 
 with castor oil, when the hair will grow out entirely white.

 EVOLUTION OF THE TWO-MINUTE HORSK 
 
 Yankee (2.59) was the first to trot a mile under three minutes. 
 That was on June 5, 1806. Lady Suffolk was the first in the 2.30 
 list, she making a mark of 2.29V2 at Beacon Course, October 15, 
 1845. Flora Temple (2.19%), at Kalamazoo, October 15, 1859, 
 heralded the way for the 2.20 class. Dexter made a stallion 
 record of 2.17^ at Bufi'alo, August 14, 1867. Smuggler, at 
 Hartford, August 31, 1876, lowered this mark to 2.15^. Rarus 
 made a gelding record of 2.13^4 at Buffalo, August 11, 1878. 
 Goldsmith Maid made the first record below 2.15 by trotting a 
 mile at Rochester, August 12, 1874, in 2.14%. Jay Eye See got 
 a mark of 2.09^ at Cleveland in 1884, and Maud S. , the following 
 year, at Cleveland, did a mile in 2.08%. Later records were: 
 Axtell, three-year-old stallion record of 2.12, at Terre Haute, 
 October, 1889 ; Sunol, 2.08l^, at Stockton, Cal., October, 1891 ; 
 Arion, two-year-old, 2.10%, at Stockton, October, 1891; Nancy 
 Hanks, 2.04 (bicycle- wheeled sulky), at Terre Haute, September, 
 1892; Directum, four-year-old, 2.0514, at Nashville, October 
 1893; Alix, 2.03%, at Galesburg, 111., September, 1894; The 
 Abbott, 2.03^, at Terre Haute, September, 1900; Cresceus, 
 2.02%, at Cleveland, July, 1901 ; Major Delmar, 2.02^4, at Read-

 Help in Case of Accidents* 
 
 Drowning. — Loosen clothing, if any. 2. Empty lungs of water by lay- 
 ing body on its stomach and lifting it by the middle so that the head 
 hangs down. Jerk the body a few times. 3. Pull tongue forward, using 
 handkerchief, or a pin with string if necessary. 4. Imitate motion of 
 respiration by alternately compressing and expanding the lower ribs, about 
 twenty times a minute. Alternately raising and lowering the arms from 
 the sides up above the head will stimulate the action of the lungs. Let it 
 be done gently but persistently. 5, Apply warmth and friction to extremi- 
 ties. 6. By holding tongue forward, closing the nostrils, and pressing the 
 "Adam's apple" back (so as to close entrance to stomach), direct inflation 
 may be tried. Take a deep breath and breathe it forcibly into the mouth 
 of the patient, compress the chest to expel the air, and repeat the operation. 
 7. Don't give up! People have been saved after hours of patient, vigorous 
 effort. 8. When breathing begins, get patient into a warm bed and give 
 warm drinks, or spirits in teaspoonfuls. Fresh air and quiet are essential. 
 
 Lightning.— Dash cold water over the person struck. 
 
 MY REMEDIES ARE ALL PUT UP IN HANDY FORM. 
 
120 DR. J. G. LESURE'S VETERINARY REMEDIES 
 
 Burns and Scalds. — Cover with cooking soda and lay wet cloths over it ; 
 or apply whites of eggs and olive oil, olive oil, or linseed oil, plain or mixed, 
 with chalk or whiting, or sweet or olive oil and lime-water. 
 
 SunsfroAc— Loosen clothing, get patient into shade, and apply ice-cold 
 water to head. Keep head in elevated position. 
 
 Mad-Dog or Snake Bite.— Tie cord tight above wound. Suck the wound 
 and cauterize with caustic or with white-hot iron at once, or cut out 
 adjoining parts with sharp knife. Give stimulants, as whiskey, brandy, etc. 
 
 Stings of Venomous Insects, efc— Apply weak ammonia, oil, salt water, 
 or iodine. 
 
 Fainting.— Place flat on back, admit fresh air, and sprinkle with water. 
 Place head lower than rest of body. 
 
 Cinders in the £>c.— Roll soft paper up like a lamplighter and wet the 
 tip to remove it, or use a medicine dropper to draw it out. Rub the other 
 eye. 
 
 Fire in One's Clothing. — Don't run, especially not down stairs or out-of- 
 doors. Roll on carpet or wrap in woolen rug or blanket. Keep the head 
 down, so as not to inhale flame. 
 
 Fire from Kerosene.— Don't use water; it will spread the flames. Dirt, 
 sand, or flour is the best extinguisher; or smother with woolen rug, table- 
 cloth or carpet. 
 
 Suffocation from Inhaling Illuminating Gas. — Get into the fresh air as 
 soon as possible and lie down. Keep warm. Take ammonia, twenty drops 
 to a tumbler of water, at frequent intervals; also two to four drops of 
 tincture of nux vomica every hour or two for five or six hours.

 How to Measure Liquids* 
 
 For convenience in the absence of proper instruments you can make use 
 of means of measurement which, although not exactly uniform, will give 
 results accurate enough for all ordinary purposes. There are certain im- 
 plements used in the household of a capacity corresponding to a certain 
 extent with the regular Standard Measures. These implements have a fixed 
 value, with which the practitioner should be familiar. However, their 
 capacity, with the exception of the wineglass, almost always exceeds the 
 quantity which they are estimated to hold. 
 
 A teaspoon contains Vs oz., or 1 fluid drachm. 
 A dessertspoon contains V4, oz., or 2 drachms. 
 A tablespoon contains V2 oz,, or 4 drachms. 
 A wineglass contains 2 fluid ounces. 
 A teacup contains about 4 ounces, or 1 gill.
