 IN this short treatise on the Principal Diseases of the 
 Horse, we have avoided all scientific and obscure 
 words, and endeavored to make our language as 
 plain and simple as possible ; so Ihat the most common 
 understanding can get our full meaning. We .wish 
 you to follow our directions in every case : then you 
 will be able to cure your animal without any outside 
 advice or assistance. In return,: w:e want you to 
 speak well of Dr. Tumbull*s Curine when a cure 
 has been effected ; give it your influence ; recommend 
 it to your friends : send the pamphlets to your brother 
 horsemen, wherever you think they will do good. 
 
 The measure that you measure to others, the same 
 will be measured back to you. 
 
 8^°We advise every breeder, trainer or owner of 
 a horse to carry one of these books in his pocket, as 
 it will be of use to him, and it w^ill save us answering 
 several thousand letters each year. 
 
 When this book w^ears out, or should your friend 
 wish one^ drop us a postal and we w^ill send you 
 another free of charge by return mail.

DISEASES OF THE HORSE. 
 
 THEIR CAJiSE&^.SYMPTOMS, TREATMENT 
 
 DUPUC.rE "^^ 
 
 DISEASES 
 
 OF THE TEETH. 
 
 flrCKAHCE^ 
 
 DENTITT T 9 N. Thig -^covers the period during 
 which the young- horse is cutting his teeth, from 
 birth to the age of five years. More difficulty is 
 experienced in cutting the second or permanent 
 teeth than with the first or milk teeth. The moufh 
 of a young- horse should be frequently examined, 
 and if one or more of the milk teeth are remaining 
 too long, causing the second teeth to g-row in 
 crooked, they should be removed at once by the 
 forceps. 
 
 IRREGULARITIES OF TEETH.— In all in- 
 stances where horses "quid" their food, slobber, or 
 evince pain in mastication, they should be carefully 
 examined. If, as is mostly the case, all these 
 symptoms are referable to sharp corners or pro- 
 jections of the teeth, these must be removed by the 
 rasp. We would recommend that the horse's teeth 
 be examined once in every two years, at least, by a 
 "veterinary dentist." 
 
 LAMPAS. 
 
 Lampas is a name given to a swelling of the 
 mucous membrane covering the hard palate and 
 projecting in a prominent ridge behind the upper 
 incisors. There is no doubt that in very bad cases, 
 and especially while teething, there is congestion 
 and swelling in this part of the mouth which will 
 interfere with feeding. Should this exist, the swol- 
 len parts should be scarred, being careful not to 
 cut too deeply into the structures. Never burn the 
 lampas, as it is cruel and should never be permitted.

CURINE-The Great 
 
 DISEASES OF THE INTESTINES. 
 
 FLATULENT COLIC, WIND COLIC, ETC. 
 
 Tlie most frequent causes of colic are, sudden 
 changes of food, too long fasting and then feeding 
 while the animal is exhausted; large quantities of 
 green food, new hay or grain, food that has become 
 sour, irregular teeth, and anything that causes in- 
 digestion may produce flatulent colic. 
 
 SYMPTOMS.— Horse seems dull, pains slig-htly, 
 may or may not lie down. The pains are contin- 
 uous. If not soon relieved, the above symptoms are 
 aggravated, and you will notice difficult breathing, 
 perspiration, trembling of the front legs, stagger- 
 ing from side to side, and finally plunging forward 
 —dead. 
 
 TREATMENT.— The best domestic remedy that 
 can be had is a dose of baking-soda, 3 to 4 ounces 
 If this fails, give a half-ounce of carbonate of am- 
 monia every half-hour. If suffering extreme pain 
 give one ounce of chloral hydrate in one-half pint 
 of water. A physic should be given as early as 
 possible. The best is one ounce of Barbadoes aloes 
 made up in a ball. Injections per rectum, of tur- 
 pentine one ounce, linseed oil one-half pint may be 
 given frequently to stimulate the motion of the 
 bowels. Keep the horse warm by blankets wrung 
 out of hot water every five or ten minutes and 
 covered with a dry wool blanket. This will do 
 much to afford relief. Th?s form of colic is much 
 more fatal than cramp colic and requires prompt 
 treatment. 
 
 SPASMODIC OR CRAMP COLIC. 
 
 Spasmodic or Cramp Colic— This is the name 
 given to that form of colic produced by contraction, 
 or spasm, of a portion of the small intestines 
 Causes — indigestible food; large drinks of cold wa- 
 ter when the animal is warm; driving liim who.n 
 heated through deep streams; draughts of cold aii, 
 cold rains, etc. 
 
American Veterinary Remedy. 
 
 SYMPTOMS.— It always begins suddenly. When 
 feeding he is sure to stop suddenly, stamp and 
 probably look backwards. He will soon get more 
 acute pain and then he will paw, suddenly lie dowii, 
 roll and get up again. There is then an interval cf 
 ease; ho will resume feeding and appear lo be en- 
 tirely well, but in a little while the pain v/ill return 
 in a more severe form and may be continuous, 
 lie n:ay try to urinate, but this is a way the horse 
 expresses the presence of pain. It is very rare that 
 a horse's kidneys or bladder are affected, nor 
 should we, if a horse yields or sinks when pinched 
 over the loins, declare that kidney disease exists. 
 
 TREATMENT.— Give one ounce of chloral hydrate 
 in half-pint of water, or a very good rermedy is two 
 ounces each of sulphuric ether and laudanum in 
 half-pint of linseed oil. If relief is not obtained 
 from either of the above doses, they may be re- 
 peated. Keep the body warm with blankets dipped 
 in hot water every five or ten minutes and covered 
 with a dry woolen blanket, until perspiration is in- 
 duced. 
 
 RINGBONE. 
 
 A ringbone is a growth of a bony tumor on the 
 ankle. Causes — Injuries, such as sprains, blows, 
 fast work on hard roads, jumping, etc. Horses 
 most disposed to this disease are those with short 
 upright pasterns, high calks in shoeing, too much 
 shortening of the toe and corresponding high heels, 
 causing too much concussion to the feet. 
 
 SYMPTOMS.— The first symptom Is lameness, 
 more or less acute. The ankle presents more or 
 less heat and very often swelling. When in the 
 front leg the heel is first placed on the ground 
 and the ankle is kept as rigid as possible. In the 
 hind leg the toe strikes the ground first, when the 
 ringbone is high on the ankle, but the ankle is 
 maintained in a rigid position. If the bony growth 
 is under the front tendon of the hind leg, the heel 
 is brought to the ground first. They are very bad 
 and should be looked after at once. 
 
CURINE— The Great 
 
 TREATMENT —Clip hair if thick. Remove all 
 grease from part with strong ammonia water; im- 
 mediately afterwards wash with vinegar; when dry- 
 paint with Dr. Turnbull's CURINE two or three 
 times daily, for one week, then stop for a week, 
 and if at the end of that time the trouble has not 
 all disappeared, apply the CURINE again the same 
 as before. 
 
 Wash with ammonia water and vinegar prior to 
 applying CURINE the first time, but wash once 
 every other day with warm water and soap prior 
 to using CURINE, and continue to wash every 
 other day, for one week, after you stop applying 
 CURINE, to remove the scurf. Apply CURINE 
 with an old tooth or nail brush. On very thin- 
 skinned animals or horses that have never been 
 blistered, you will find that CURINE used as above 
 will take a very strong hold That will be all the 
 better, and as the swelling goes down the trouble 
 will disappear with it, but should the affected part 
 show signs of breaking open, stop using the CUR- 
 INE for a week and then apply again if necessary. 
 
 CURINE can be had from your druggist or har- 
 ness dealer, or consult our special agents' list on 
 pages 59 to 76. 
 
 BONE SPAVIN. 
 This affection is an exostosis of the hock joint. 
 It may appear on the upper part of the hock or a 
 little below the inner side of the loyt^er extremity 
 of the shank bone. This is what is known as a 
 high spavin; or it may form on the outside of the 
 hock and become an outside or external spavin; or 
 the entire under surface may become the seat of 
 the osseous deposit, and involve the internal face 
 of all the bones of the hock, and this is called a 
 bone spavin. With no enlargement to sight or 
 touch an animal may be disabled by an occult 
 spavin, which has resulted from a union of several 
 bones of the hock. Spavins are hereditary, or may 
 be caused by extra exertion, slipping upon an icy 
 pavement, or an effort to recover his balance, 
 sprains, and other causes. 
 
American Veterinary Remedy. 
 
 SYMPTO:\IS.— The peculiar position assumed by 
 the patient while at rest. The posture is due to the 
 action of the adductor muscles, the lower part of 
 the leg being carried inward and the heel of the 
 shoe resting on the toe of the opposite foot. When 
 driven he will travel stiffly, with a sort of a side- 
 long gait, and, on being taken to the stall, will rest 
 with his toe pointing forward, the heel raised and 
 the hock flexed. A little heat and considerable in- 
 flammation soon appears. The lameness which ap- 
 pears in backing out of the stall ceases to be no- 
 ticeable after a short distance of travel. An ex- 
 amination of the hock will then begin to reveal 
 the existence of the lesion, a bony enlargement at 
 the junction of the hock and cannon bone, on the 
 inside and a little in front and tangible to both 
 sight and touch. As soon as you discover that 
 your horse is getting a spavin, you should proceed 
 at once to treatment and follow directions carefully. 
 
 TREATMENT.— Apply Dr. TurnbuU's CURINE 
 the same as directed for ringbone, on page 5. If 
 taken in time you will get a permanent cure. If 
 allowed to fully develop you can remove the lame- 
 ness and sometimes the enlargement. When the 
 horse is lame give him absolute rest while treating 
 for spavin, ringbone, sprains, etc. 
 
 Beware of those 24 and 48-hour spavin cures. 
 
 BT.OOD SPAVINS AND THOROUGHPINS. 
 
 The blood spavin, is situated in the front and a 
 little inward of the hock; the thoroughpin is formed 
 at the back and on the top of the hock. They are 
 round, smooth and well defined. In their general 
 characteristics these tumors are similar to wind-

 gall, although it is possible for a blood spavin to 
 cause lameness and unsoundness in the patient if 
 not treated as directed. 
 
 TREATMENT.— Blood spavins and thoroughpins 
 should be treated with Dr. Turnbull's CURINE 
 under the same directions as for ringbone on page 
 5. These troubles will yield somewhat easier than 
 ringbone or bone spavin. 
 
 CURINE is the most powerful and best Absorbent, 
 Antiseptic, Alterative and Penetrative in the world. 
 No grease. Will not blemish or remove the hair. 
 
 LAMINITAS— FOUNDER. 
 
 CAUSES.— The causes of founder are wide and 
 variable, the most common being overexertion, ex- 
 haustion, concussion, rapid change of temperature, 
 etc. Founder from concussion is common in track 
 horses trotting races when not in condition, long 
 drives on dirt roads when the weather is hot, or 
 when the change of temperature is great. 
 
 Overexertion — As rapid pulling or rapid work even 
 where there is no chance for concussion. Rapid 
 changes in temperature — Such as drinking large 
 quantities of water while in an overheated condi- 
 tion, cold air being alloM^ed to play upon the body 
 when heated and wet with sweat. 
 
 SYMPTOMS.— Any one or all of the feet may 
 become the subject of the disease, although it ap- 
 pears more often in both the front feet. When 
 both forefeet are affected, the symptoms are well 
 marked. The lameness is excessive and the animal 
 almost immovable. When standing his head hangs 
 low down, or he may rest his head upon the manger

 as a means of support and to relieve the feet; the 
 forefeet are well extended, so that the weight is 
 thrown upon the heels, where he gets some relief. 
 The hind feet are brought forward beneath the body 
 to receive as much weight as possible, relieving 
 the diseased ones. 
 
 TREATMENT.— The treatment of founder is 
 probably more varied than any other disease. The 
 body should be kept warm and warm drinks given, 
 to draw the blood to these parts away from the 
 feet; at the same time the feet should be placed in 
 warm water, to increase the return flow of blood. 
 In the course of half an hour the feet should be 
 changed to very cold water and kept there until 
 recovery is completed. Give three ounces of salt- 
 peter in a pint of water every six hours, for a week, 
 if necessary. If the animal is lying down, swabs 
 should be used, and wet every half-hour with cold 
 water. If the weather is warm, keep a little ice 
 in the water. If at the end of five er six days 
 prominent symptoms of recovery are not apparent, 
 remove the swabs, and paint with CURINE around 
 the coronet five or six times a day, and as soon as 
 the CURINE has taken a good strong hold, which 
 will be in a day or two, the wet swabs may be ap- 
 plied again.

 body, through which a discharge is taking place. 
 It may exist at any part, but it mostly appears on 
 the withers. Poll-evil is a fistula and in no sense 
 differs from fistulous withers except as to location. 
 Fistula follows as a result of abscesses, wounds, 
 bruises, irritation by the harness, saddle, bad fit- 
 ting collars, etc. Fistula of the poll— poll evil— are 
 caused chiefly by a chafing of the halter or heavy 
 bridle; blows from a club or the butt-end of a 
 whip, striking his head against the hayrack, ceil- 
 ing, low doors^ etc. 
 
 TREATMENT.— When the formation of pus Is 
 Inevitable, this must be hurried as much as possi- 
 ble. Hot fomentations and poultices are to be con- 
 stantly used, and as soon as fluctuation can be 
 plainly felt the abscess wall is to be opened at its 
 lowest point, to allow the pus to escape as soon as 
 formed; then inject 10 to 20 drops of CITRINE, di- 
 luted with equal quantities of alcohol and water, 
 twice a day, and, as the wound becomes more 
 healthy, dilute CURINE in proportion. 
 
 FISTULA OF THE FOOT— QIHTTOR. 
 
 Should be treated on the same principle as those 
 already described. When fistulous ti;acts are found 
 at unusual points, carefully examine to see if some 
 foreign body, as a splinter of wood, etc., is not re- 
 tained in the wound.

 Gentlemen:— We have been using your Curine in 
 several cases, and find it to have all the properties

 SPPUNa KNEES. , 
 
 The flexion of the knee may be a congenital de- 
 formity and have continued from the foaling of 
 the animal, or it may be the result of heavy labor 
 at too early an age, or it may appear from too much 
 substantial food and not sufficient exercise, and 
 as a whole the tendons become contracted. 
 
 TREATMENT.— Paint with CURINE twice daily, 
 over the tendons on the back of leg, from a little 
 above the knee to pastern joint for one week, be- 
 ing careful to not get too much directly back of 
 the knee, as that being a very tender spot it may 
 become very sore. 
 
 If at the end of one week, after you have stopped 
 using CURINE, no improvement is noticed, apply 
 again same as before. 
 
 THUMPS— SPASM OF THE DIAPHRAGM. 
 
 "Thumps" is generally thought to be a palpita- 
 tion of the heart. While palpitation of the heart is 
 sometimes called "thumps," it must not be con- 
 founded with this subject. A spasm of the dia- 
 phragm, the principle muscle used in respiration, 
 is generally caused by prolonged speeding on the 
 track or road. The severe strain upon this muscle 
 irritates the nerves controlling it, and the con- 
 tractions become violent and produces the jerking 
 character peculiar to this trouble. To distinguish 
 thumps from palpitation of the heart, place your 
 hand on the pulse at the angle of the jaw and 
 watch the jerking m.ovement of the body; you will 
 cee that the two have no relation to one another.

 Thumps 5s produced by the same causes that 
 produce congestion of the lungs, and, if not re- 
 lieved, death usually follows. 
 
 TREATMENT.— The best preventative for thump.s 
 Is Speed Sustaining Elixir given prior to starting 
 In a long race if your horse shows fatigue, and all 
 race-drivers should have this remedy on hand. If 
 nothing else is at hand, give half a pint of whiskey 
 or brandy in the same amount of water every hour. 
 Let him stand still and give him plenty of fresh 
 air, have the harness removed at once, rub well 
 over the body and legs; if the legs are cold, rub 
 well with CURINE diluted with equal quantities 
 of water. When the body and legs are warm, band- 
 age the legs from the hoof up as far as possible. 
 Throw a blanket over the body and let the rubbing 
 be done under the blanket. Give an ounce of ar- 
 nica in a half-pint of water every hour, or a half- 
 ounce aqua ammonia (hartshorn) in a pint of water 
 every hour. If no improvement is noticed in six 
 or eight hours, the ainimal should be bled from the 
 jugular vein. Do not take out more than four or 
 five quarts, and do not repeat the bleeding. After 
 an attack of thumps he should be well taken care 
 of for a few days, as this may be followed with an 
 attack of pneumonia.

 Gentlemen: — I have been using your Curine, and 
 I find that it will do more than any preparation 
 that I have ever used. Horsemen will never know 
 what a good and useful article it Is until they have 
 once tried it. A. B. MOORE,

 of the affected leg, and at other times lifting it only 
 a few inches from the ground, but always with 
 the same uncontrollable jerk. The habit is un- 
 affected by the gait, and whether trotting, walking 
 or merely turning around, it is all the same. The 
 cause of this disease seems to be a puzzle to vet- 
 erinarians and pathologists, and we will not at- 
 tempt to give an opinion. We would advise abso- 
 lute rest by turning him out to grass for a season 
 and let nature right the causes. 
 
 NAVICULAR DISEASE. 
 
 Navicular Disease is an inflammation of the sesa- 
 moid sheath induced by repeated bruising or lac- 
 eration. The thoroughbred horse is more common- 
 ly affected with the disease, yet no class or breed- 
 ing is exempt. As a general rule one foot suffers 
 from the disease, but if both are affected the trouble 
 has become chronic. 
 
 CAUSES.— It must be remembered that the fore- 
 legs largely support the weight of the body and 
 the faster he moves the greater is the shock which 
 the forefeet must sustain. The result is that the 
 coronet bone forces the navicular hard against the 
 flexon tendon, which in time presses firmly against 
 the navicular as the force of the contracting mus- 
 cles lifts the tendon into place. The more rapid 
 the pace and the greater the load, the greater the 
 liability to injury must be. The faults of confor- 
 mation most likely to be followed by the develop- 
 ment of navicular disease, are, an insufficient plan- 
 tar cushion, small frog, high heels, excessive knee 
 action and contracted heels. The disease is also 
 hereditary. 
 
 SYMPTOMS.— Before lameness is noticed the an- 
 imal points the affected foot. While at work he 
 apparently travels as well as ever, but when placed 
 in the stable^ one foot is placed out ahead of the 
 other, resting on the toe. After a time he may 
 take a few lame steps; later he may be lame for a 
 part of a day and then seem all right again. In 
 
14 CURINE-The Great 
 
 time he has a severe attack of lameness which may 
 last a week, and finally hf becomes constantly 
 lame, and the more he is used the greater the 
 lameness. 
 
 TREATMENT.— In the early stages the wall of 
 the heel should be rasped away until the horn is 
 quite thin, then apply CURINE three times daily 
 for one week, same as for ringbone on page 5, or 
 explicit directions, page 6. Then, if in summer 
 time, the patient should be turned out to grass in 
 a damp field or meadow, and in three weeks he 
 should be brought in and treated with CURINE for 
 one week same as before. This treatment should 
 be repeated for two or three months. If in winter 
 time, and you have no place to turn him out, let 
 him remain in a box stall. A veterinary may per- 
 form neurotomy, but this may be attended with 
 serious results. 
 
 HEAVES— BROKEN WIND. 
 
 Some eminent veterinarians maintain that the 
 exciting" cause of broken wind is due to a lesion 
 of the pneumogastric nerve and there is good foun- 
 dation for this opinion. The pneumogastric nerves 
 send branches to the bronchial tubes, heart, lungs, 
 stomach, etc., and all these organs may sooner or 
 later become involved in connection with broken 
 wind. 
 
 SYMPTOMS.— Every experienced horseman is 
 able to detect "heaves." The peculiar movement

 Gentlemen:— I have been using some of your 
 preparations, and I find that they will do all that 
 you claim for them. For Curbs, Sprains, Bony

 two applications will do more good than all the so- 
 called spavin mixtures that I ever tried, and I think 
 every horseman should have it in his stables.

 of the flanks and abdomen point out the ailment at 
 once. The cough that accompanies this disease is 
 short and something like a grunt. If the horse is 
 put to exertion the symptoms will be much plainer. 
 "Smart" individuals become very expert in man- 
 aging a horse affected with "heaves." They take 
 advantage that the breathing is much easier when 
 the stomach is empty, and also resort to medicines 
 that have a depressing effect. When you are ex- 
 amining a horse and suspect he has been "fixed," 
 give him all the water he will drink, and then have 
 him ridden or driven up hill or over a rough road. 
 This will bring out the symptoms of the "heaves." 
 
 TREATMENT.— Careful attenfion paid to diet is 
 of greatest importance; always water before feed- 
 ing. Feed nice clean oats, or a little bran can be 
 added. Feed a small quantity of clean timothy hay 
 once a day, and it is a good plan to slightly dampen 
 all feed to allay the dust. Carrots or potatoes 
 chopped fine and mixed with oats or corn is a good 
 diet. Medical treatment is of a secondary con- 
 sideration. 
 
 Arsenic is about the best remedy, and is best ad- 
 ministered in the form of the solution of arsenic 
 in hydrochloric acid (Liq. Acidi. Ars.), which can 
 be obtained from the drug store. Give a table- 
 spoonful mixed with oats and bran three times a 
 day for two weeks, then twice a day for two weeks, 
 then once a day for about four weeks. 
 
 KNUCKLING OR COCKED ANKLES.. 
 
 Knuckling is a partial dislocation of the fetlock 
 joint in which the relative position of the pastern 
 bone to the cannon and coronet bones is changed. 
 
 CAUSES.— Horses with erect pasterns are more 
 apt to knuckle as they grow old, especially in the 
 hind legs. Fast work on hard race tracks or hard 
 roads are causes for knuckling. Knuckling is pro- 
 duced by disease of the suspensory ligament, or of 
 the flexor tendons whereby they are shortened. 
 Young foals are very often subject to this condition, 
 and it is largely due to the fact that before birth 
 the legs were flexed.

 TREATMENT.— Paint with CURINE twice daily 
 for one week, over ankles above and below; allow 
 it to remain for another week, and if not improved, 
 apply ag-ain same as before. For young foals di- 
 lute three or four times with equal quantities of 
 water and alcohol and apply same as above. 
 
 THICK WIND. 
 
 The great majority of horses called "thick wind" 
 belong either in the class called "roarers," or are 
 more affected with "heaves," and no separate class- 
 ification is needed. Horses that are very fat and 
 those that have not been exercised for so long that 
 their muscular system has become unfit for work; 
 horses with large bellies loaded with coarse and 
 bulky food, emit a louder sound than natural in 
 breathing and are called "thick wind." 
 
 The treatment is simple. Remove the cause and 
 the effect will cease. 
 
 CAPPED ELBOW— SHOE BOILS. 
 
 Capped Elbow, commonly called shoe boil, is too 
 well known to require any explanation from us. It 
 Is simply an enlargement at the point of the elbow, 
 caused by the result of the pressure of the heels 
 of the shoes upon that part. The peculiar position 
 in which the animal affected lies down; excessive 
 length in the shoe and the formation of the animal 
 with a cannon bone so long that the flexure of the 
 knee brings the heel in contact with the elbow.

 Gentlemen:— Your Curine is the best article I ever 
 used for the ills of horseflesh, such as Sores,

 Shoe boils vary in size from a small to a very large 
 apple. 
 
 TREATMENT.— In small shoe boils paint over the 
 surface twice daily with CURINE until cure is ef- 
 fected. In large shoe boils it will be necessary to 
 make opening from below so that the fluid will run 
 out; in this case inject 10 to 20 drops of CURINE 
 diluted with four times the amount of equal uuan- 
 tities of water and alcohol. Inject once or twice 
 dally until cure is effected.

 LUNG FEVER— PNEUMONIA. 
 
 Pneumonia may attack both lungs, but as a gen- 
 eral rule only one lung is affected, and in most 
 cases it is the right lung. In many cases it is 
 brought about by neglect and ignorance. A com- 
 mon cold or sore throat may run to pneumonia if 
 neglected or improperly treated. An animal may 
 be weakened from the effects of a cold, and when 
 in this state he may be compelled to undergo ex- 
 ertions beyond his strength, or he may be kept in 
 a badly ventilated stable, or the stable may be open 
 and the body exposed to cold air. 
 
 SYMPTOMS.— Pneumonia when in its primary 
 state is ushered in by a chill, probably overlooked 
 by the attendant. His breathing becomes quick- 
 ened and he hangs his head and has a dull appear- 
 ance. The mouth becomes hot and a fever appears; 
 If a thermometer be placed in the rectum the tem- 
 perature will be found to have risen to 103° to 104* 
 
 ENDORSED BY A MEDICAL MAN. 
 
 Jennertown, Pa., April 15, 1895. 
 I have tried and examined Dr. TurnbuU's prepara- 
 tions, manufactured by H. S. Bossart & Co., of 
 Latrobe, Pa., and find them as meritorious as they 
 claim. They certainly deserve great credit for plac- 
 ing such elegant preparations before the horse 
 world. 
 
 W. L. WRIGHT, M. D., V. S. 
 
18 CURINE— The Great 
 
 F., or higher, (when in health the temperature of 
 the horse should be about 100° F.) and the pulse 
 may be beating eighty to one hundred or more times 
 to the minute ^the pulse of a horse in health beats 
 about forty times to the minute), and the beating 
 may be harsh or feeble. There is usually a dry 
 cough from the beginning and a discharge from 
 the nostrils. His legs are cold, bowels constipated 
 and when dung is passed it is usually covered with 
 a slimy mucus. When a horse is affected with 
 pneumonia he does not lie down unless pneumonia 
 is complicated with pleurisy, in which he will lie 
 down for a few moments at a time. When a fatal 
 termination is approaching all symptoms become 
 intensified; he stares around as if imploring aid, 
 the body becomes wet with sweat, he staggers, but 
 recovers his balance. He may now lie down for 
 the first time and may get up and stagger, and 
 sway from side to side, backward and forward, 
 and he falls to rise no more. 
 
 TREATMENT.— Place the animal in a stable 
 comfortably warm, but do not prevent the access 
 of pure air; make him comfortable with warm 
 clothing; give him all the cold water he will drink 
 from the start; blanket the body, rub the legs un- 
 til warm and then bandage. If warmth cannot be 
 established by rubbing, apply a liniment composed 
 of four ounces olive oil, two ounces each of solu- 
 tion of ammonia and tincture cantharides. 
 
 Remove bandages one or more times each day; 
 rub well and re-apply bandages; rub the affected 
 side well with the liniment every three or four 
 days. Give the following drench every six hours: 
 Spirits of nitrous ether, one ounce; solution of 
 acetate of ammonia, two ounces; bicarbonate of 
 potassium, three drams; water, one pint. Never 
 drench through the nostrils. Give a capsule of one 
 dram of quinine every three or four hours when 
 fever is at its highest. If animal is much debili- 
 tated, give six to eight ounces of vs^^iskey in half- 
 pint of water every four or five hours. Never give 
 a purgative in case of lung fever; if constipation 
 exists, overcome it by laxative diets, such as lin- 
 
American Veterinary Remedy. 19 
 
 seed naashes, scalded oats and bran, or grass, if in 
 season. If the costiveness is not relieved by the 
 laxative diets, give an injection of a quart of warm 
 water three times a day. In addition to the laxa- 
 tive diet there may be given apples, carrots, or 
 two or three gallons of sweet milk with a couple 
 of eggs broken in it may be given each day if the 
 horse desires it. Never force the animal to take 
 nourishment; remove all food from trough or man- 
 ger and try him with nice, clean laxative food later. 
 
 CAPPED HOCK. 
 
 A capped hock is the development of a bruise at. 
 the point of the hock, caused by rubbing or striking 
 the partitions of their stall with their hocks, a 
 habit which some horses have. The external ap- 
 pearance is sufficient to determine the diagnosis. 
 They are an eye-sore and sometimes may cause 
 lameness. If your horse is a habitual "kicker" and 
 one that kicks when he receives his food, the best 
 preventative for the above subject is to pad his 
 stall, but notwithstanding all precautions, hocks 
 will be capped in the future as in the past. 
 
 TREATMENT.— In the first stages of the disease, 
 apply CURINE three or four times daily for two 
 weeks, then allow it to remain for a week, and if 
 by that time the thickening of the growth fails 
 to diminish and there seems to be a fluid of a 
 purulent character in it, open it very carefully from 
 below, with a small instrument, and after the fluid 
 has run out, inject ten to fifteen drops of CURINE 
 diluted with four times the amount of water. In-

 The bottle of Curine ordered from you some time 
 ago has done the work. It discounts all other prep- 
 arations that I ever saw, and I would not be with- 
 out it if it cost $10 per bottle. A. E. RODGERS, 
 
 Driver of Patroon, 2:23%. 
 
20 CURINE-The Great 
 
 ject once daily and repeat as often as necessary, 
 and at the same time paint over the surface daily 
 with CURINE in its purity. You must have pa- 
 tience in treating capped hocks, as in these parts 
 the skin is very thick and the absorption is rather 
 slow. 
 
 CORNS. 
 
 A corn is an injury to the living horn of the foot 
 and always appears in that part of the sole in- 
 cluded in the angle between the bar and the out- 
 side wall of the hoof. Corns mostly appear in the 
 front feet, because they support the greater part 
 of the body and the heel is always placed first upon 
 the ground, whereby it receives much more con- 
 cussion than the heel of the hind foot, in which 
 the toe first strikes the ground. 
 
 CAUSES.— Among the causes and conditions that 
 produce corns may be placed the following: Flat 
 feet which are easily bruised, high heels, bad shoe- 
 ing, feet with thin horn, etc. Track horses going 
 at full speed on hard track, and heavy breeds gen- 
 erally used for hauling heavj^ loads on hard streets, 
 are most liable to this trouble. 
 
 TREATMENT.— The cause must be discovered if 
 possible and removed. Pare out all the diseased 
 horn, insert a plug of oakum in the cavity, satu- 
 rated with CURINE, once every other day, and 
 apply a roller bandage. Repeat until a new horn 
 covers the w^ound.

 INFLUENZA— EPIZOODY— TYPHOID FEVER. 
 
 Influenza is a contagious specific fever of the 
 laorse. It stupifies the brain and nerves. The dis- 
 ease is very apt to assume an epizoodic form, an 
 attack of especial organs, as at one period the in- 
 testines, at another the lungs, heart, etc. It has 
 been known in ancient and tlie dark ages of his- 
 tory to follow the track of the great armies all over 
 Europe, causing great losses among the horses. It 
 is more liable to attack young horses of frora two 
 to five years of age. Overfed, fat young horses and 
 animals that do not have sufficient exercise are 
 more susceptible to it. 
 
 The contagion will remain In an infected stable 
 for some time, or it may be carried in the clothing 
 of the attendant, or in being watered from the 
 same trough or bucket. Creolol should be used as 
 a disinfectant in all contagious diseases, such as 
 influenza, epizoody, typhoid fever, etc. 
 
 Stalls, troughs, buckets, curry combs and all sta- 
 ble utensils used in working about such infected 
 animals, should be washed in a solution of one 
 part creolol to fifty parts water. The bedding 
 should be sprinkled slightly with one part creolol 
 to one hundred parts water. 
 
 A few drops in the drinking water three or four 
 times a day will greatly assist in the care of the 
 various fevers and diseases of the digestive tract. 
 
 SYMPTOMS.— The first is a fever, which becomes 
 intense in a short time. Within a period of twenty- 
 four hours the body may increase in temperature 
 from 100° F. (normal) to 104" or 106° F. The animal 
 becomes stupid, stands with his head down, and 
 has no inclination to move or pay any attention to 
 the surroundings. The pulse becomes high, eyes 
 are puffy and swollen; tears run down and may 
 blister the skin. If no other serious complications 
 arise from the effects of this disease, a change for 
 the better may be anticipated after about the sev- 
 enth day. 
 
 TREATMENT.— Place the animal in a comfort- 
 able stall away from the other horses If possible. 
 
22 CURINE-The Great 
 
 Give small doses of Glauber or Epsom salts, to 
 which may be added a little bicarbonate of soda, 
 from the start, in order to prevent constipation and 
 its evil results, but should diarrhoea become too 
 great, you should overcome this by giving- drinks 
 made from boiled starch or rice, to which may be 
 added one ounce of laudanum, every three or four 
 hours. When fever is observed to be rising rapidly 
 give two or three doses of quinine in i/4-dram cap- 
 sules, or ^4 dram of antimony every three or four 
 hours. This will reduce the high fever. If depres- 
 sion is great after quinine or antimony is given, 
 fluid extract of aconite may be given in doses of 
 ten to twenty drops every three or four hours. In 
 complication of the lungs give ten to twenty drops 
 of fluid extract of digitalis every four hours. The 
 best way to administer medicines in small doses is 
 with a small syringe, placed in the side of the 
 mouth and thrown on the tongue. If the appetite 
 remains, give moderate quantities of good hay and 
 laxative foods, such as oats, bran mashes, etc. 
 
 WINDPUFFS— WINDGALLS. 
 
 Windpuffs.— These eye-sores appear in the form 
 of soft tumors at the posterior part of the fetlock 
 joint and are generally of a round appearance. They 
 sometimes cause lameness when they are large 
 enough to interfere with the tendons, or when they 
 undergo a change, such as calcification, which they

 H. S. Bossart & Co., Latrobe, Pa. 
 
 Gentlemen;— The Curine and Hoofine ordered from 
 you some time ago, duly to hand, and the applica- 
 tion of the same has proven all you claim for their 
 separate curatives, and I cheerfully recommend 
 them to owners and drivers of horses of all kinds. 
 There are a number of trainers at our track, and 
 Curine and Hoofine are to be found in all their sta- 
 bles, which fact talks for itself. 
 
 Yours very truly, W. S. STEELE,

 are likely to do. They may be attributed to exter- 
 nal causes, such as strains from heavy pulling, 
 fast driving, jumping, etc. 
 
 TREATMENT.— When in their acute stage, paint 
 with CURIXE twice daily for one week, and you 
 will have accomplished all that will be desired. If 
 the animal is in training, apply a cold water band- 
 age for one hour after work, remove and when dry 
 paint with CURINE diluted with equal quantities 
 of water and alcohol, Qnce daily. If the trouble has 
 become chronic and the enlargement of long dura- 
 tion, apply CURIXE twice daily for one week, then 
 let it remain for another week, and if the trouble 
 has not all disappeared apply CURIXE again, same 
 as before. Wash every other day with warm water 
 and soap, prior to using the compound, and when 
 drv- apply the paint. 
 
 LOCK-JAW— TETAXIS. 
 
 Lock-Jaw is characterized by spasms affecting 
 the muscles of the body, legs, face and neck, of all 
 the muscles supplied by the cerebrospinal nerves. 
 
 CAUSES.— It is mostly caused by wounds, espe- 
 cially pricks or wounds of the feet. It sometimes 
 follows castration or docking, and may not appear 
 for two or three months after the wound has 
 healed. Horses of a nervous disposition are more 
 subject to it than those of a sluggish nature, and 
 stallions are more apt to develop tetanis, as a re- 
 sult of wounds, than geldings or mares. 
 
 SYMPTOMS.— The first symptom that you will 
 notice is difficulty in chewing and swallowing, an 
 elevation of the head, etc. An examination of the 
 mouth will reveal his inability to open.it to its full

 extent. The muscles become rigid; tail usually ele- 
 vated. These symptoms become aggravated and 
 the muscles rigid. Jaws completely set; nostrils di- 
 lated, and he presents a picture of great agony un- 
 til death relieves him. All symptoms may increase 
 for eight to ten days, and then diminish under ju- 
 dicial treatment. 
 
 TREATMENT.— The animal should be placed in 
 a box stall in as quiet a place as possible. Remove 
 all bedding; keep the plaee moderately dark and 
 the attendant must be as quiet as possible about 
 him. Give him one ounce of Barbadoes aloes made 
 up in form of a ball, or a quart of raw linseed oil. 
 If the jaws are set and you cannot open his mouth 
 sufficiently, dissolve the aloes in a couple ounces 
 of sweet oil and throw on the back of the tongue 
 with a syringe. If the jaws are set give an injec- 
 tion under the skin every four hours, of one-fourth 
 of a grain of atropia and five grains of sulphate of 
 morphia dissolved in one dram of water. Keep a 
 pail of water constantly before him., placed high, 
 so he can put his mouth in it without exerting him- 
 self. If he is unable to swallow inject gruel and 
 milk into the rectum in order to keep his strength 
 up. 
 
 CURB. 
 
 Curb. — This lesion is the bulging backward of the 
 posterior part of the hock. It may be caused by a 
 sprain of the strong ligament or tendon on the 
 back part of the hock. This condition is mostly 
 found on hocks of a curby nature. It may also be 
 caused by slipping, jumping or pulling heavy loads. 
 
 FROM A PRACTICAL MAN. 
 
 BIttsburg, Pa., Oct. 25, 1895. 
 H. S. Bossart & Co. 
 
 Gentlemen:— I have been using your Curine, and I 
 find it the best preparation that I have ever seen 
 or used. CLARENCE HENDERSON, 
 
 Owner and driver of Frank T., 2:17i^, and Maud E., 
 2:19^. 
 
American Veterinary Remedy. 25 
 
 A curb is an "unsoundness,", as the hock thus af- 
 fected is less liable to endure severe labor. 
 
 TREATMENT.— On the first appearance of a curb 
 subdue the Inflammation by the use of hot fomen- 
 tations, then paint with Dr. Turnbull's CURINE 
 over the affected part, twice a day for one week; 
 wash every other day with -vrarm water and soap, 
 and when dry apply CURINE. In curbs of lorig 
 standing- it may be neceseary to repeat the treat- 
 ment for a couple of weeks. 
 
 SPLINTS. 
 
 A splint is a certain bony enlargement which is 
 developed on the cannon bone between the knee 
 or hock and the fetlock joint and are usually found 
 on the inside of the leg. They vary in size from 
 that of a large nut to merely nothing, and in 
 searching for them they may be easily detected by 
 the hand, but must be distinguished from a small 
 enlargement at the lower third of the cannon bone, 
 which is no splint, but merely a normal develop- 
 ment of the small cannon bone. A splint may fre- 
 quently cause lameness, and when near the knee- 
 joint the lameness is more apt to become aggra- 
 vated. 
 
 CAUSES.— Splints ar© mostly caused by external 
 hurts, such as blows or collisions, or in speeding he 
 may strike the inside of his leg with his opposite 
 foot and thus start the growth; or too much ex- 
 cessive strain or labor upon a young animal at a 
 too early period in his life. 
 
 THE BEST REMEDY. 
 
 Elyria Stock Farm, Elyria, O., Oct. 23, 1895. 
 
 Gentlemen:— I have been using your Curlne, and 
 am pleased to say it is the best remedy for Splints, 
 Curbs, Ringbones, etc., that I have ever used, and 
 I think no stable complete without it. 
 
 FRANK P. DOBLE. 
 
 Driver of Gertrude, 2:12; Peveril, 2:14, etc. 
 
26 CURINE-The Great 
 
 TREATMENT.— As soon as the splint is located, 
 paint with CURINE twice daily for one week. If 
 of long standing it will have become almost as hard 
 as bone and you will probably have to keep the 
 treatment up for two or three weeks. 
 
 SORES— SUMMER SORES. 
 
 These sores are small at first and may appear at 
 any point, but they are more likely to appear on 
 the legs or where the harness presses on the body. 
 These sores contain parasites and cause intense 
 itching, and the victim rubs and bites them until 
 extensive raw surfaces are produced. 
 
 TREATMENT. — Place in a cool place and sponge 
 very carefully with cold water; then, in order to 
 remove the pus and kill the parasite, paint with 
 CURINE and then cover the surface of the wound 
 by dusting it with iodoform. Repeat once a day 
 for two weeks or until the sore heals up, as these 
 wounds are very obstinate and often require months 
 to heal. 
 
 RUPTURE OF THE SUSPENSORY LIGAMENT. 
 
 Sprain, with or without rupture, of the suspensory 
 ligament, may happen in any leg. Old animals and 
 especially trotters, paces and runners, are the most 
 subject to this injury, and +he trouble is nearly 
 always in one, or both, fore legs. Horses used for 
 heavy draught are more liable to have the hind leg 
 affected. One, or both, of the branches may be 
 torn from their attachment to the sesamoid bones; 
 or the ligament may rupture above the point of 
 division. 
 
 TREATMENT.— No matter how mild the sprain 
 of the suspensory ligament may be, it should al- 
 ways be treated with enforced rest for a jnonth. 
 Bathe thoroughly at once with cold water, and 
 apply cold water bandages until the fever has sub- 
 sided, then paint with CURINE twice a day for 
 
American Veterinary Remedy. 27 
 
 one week; now let it remain for one week, but dur- 
 ing this time wash it every other day with warm 
 water and soap. Paint with CURINE for another 
 week, same as before, and the following week wash 
 again with warm water and soap. At the end of 
 one month from the time he was laid up, he may 
 be able to walk around slowly. It will be useless 
 to expect a removal of all the thickening, for new 
 tissues have formed, and it will always remain 
 somewhat enlarged. 
 
 BOTS. 
 
 Cobbold, who is considered the best authority 
 on this subject, says: "The common gad-fly at- 
 tacks the animal ,while grazing late in the summer, 
 its object being, not to derive sustenance, but to 
 deposit its eggs. This is accomplished by means 
 of a glutinous excretion, causing the ova (eggs) to 
 adhere to the hairs. The parts selected are chiefly 
 those of the shoulder, base of the neck, and inner 
 part of the fore legs, especially about the knees, 
 for in these situations the horse will have no dif- 
 ficulty in reaching the ova with its tongue. When 
 the animal licks those parts of the coat where the 
 eggs have been placed the moisture of the tongue, 
 aided by warmth, hatches the ova, and in some- 
 thing less than three weeks from the time of the 
 deposition of the eggs the larvae have made their 
 escape. As maggots they are next transferred to 
 the miouth and ultimately to the stomach along 
 with food and drink. A great many larvae perish 
 during this passive mode of immigration, some be- 
 ing dropped from the mouth and others being 
 crushed in the fodder during mastication. It has 
 been calculated that out of the many hundreds of 
 eggs deposited on a single horse scarcely one out 
 of fifty of the larvae arrive within the stomach. 
 Notwithstanding this waste the interior of the 
 stomach may become completely covered (cuti- 
 cular portion) with bots. Whether there be few or 
 many they are anchored in this situation chiefly by 
 means of two large cephalic hooks. After the bots 
 
28 OURINE-The Great 
 
 have attained perfect growth they voluntarily 
 loosen their hold and allow themselves to be car- 
 ried along the alimentary canal until they escape 
 with the feces. In all cases they sooner or later 
 fall to the ground and when transferred to the soil 
 they bury themselves beneath the surface In order 
 to undergo transformation into the pupa condition. 
 Having remained in the earth for a period of six 
 or seven weeks they finally emerge from their pu- 
 pal-cocoons as perfect dipterus (winged) insects, 
 the gad-fJy. It thus appears that bots ordinarily 
 pass about eight months of their lifetime in the di- 
 gestive organs of the horse." 
 
 It is a very common expression to hear by- 
 standers exclaim: "Your horse has the bots," 
 when the animal is suffering from some internal 
 pain. Bots in large numbers may interfere some- 
 what with digestion, but beyond this they are as a 
 general thing harmless. They loosen their hold 
 during the spring months and pass out in large 
 numbers, but so far as medicine is concerned, none 
 is necessary. In order to prevent the horse from 
 having bots, it would be necessary to scrape off 
 all the eggs deposited by the gad-fly and destroy 
 them. 
 
 OVERREACH. 
 
 This trouble is caused by the shoe of the hind foot 
 striking the quarters or heel of the fore foot. It 
 mostly happens when the animal is going at speed 
 and is more common among trotters, pacers aad 
 runners. 
 
 SYMPTOMS.— The quarter or heel is cut and 
 bruised, or the horse may grab and pull his front 
 shoe off. Horses accustomed to overreaching are 
 very "bad breakers," owing to the pain which ex- 
 cites them. 
 
 ■' ■ 
 
 TREATMENT.— If th© parts are cut, bathe 
 thoroughly with cold water, and dress the wound 
 with CURINE diluted with three to four times 
 water, place a little cotton or oakum over the 
 
American Veterinary Remedy. 2d 
 
 wound and apply a cold damp roller bandage. This 
 should be repeated once daily for one week. If only 
 a bruise, apply CURINE as above and use a cold 
 wet bandage for a couple of days. 
 
 WORMS. 
 
 There are several species of worms found in the 
 intestines, and they appear most frequently in 
 young, weak and debilitated animals. 
 
 SYMPTOMS. — Depraved appetite, bowels irregu- 
 lar, hide bound, pot bellied, bat coat, hair standing 
 up, etc. The best symptoms is seeing the animal 
 pass them in his dung. 
 
 TREATMENT.— Feed bran mashes for a day or 
 two and then give the following: Tartar emetic 
 six drams, calomel one dram; mix and divide into 
 six powders and give -one each day in his feed. No 
 physic necessary. If pin worms are present, inject 
 into the rectum an infusion of tobacco once a day 
 for a few days. 
 
 SHOULDER LAMENESS. 
 
 Shoulder lameness.— This trouble is most frequent- 
 ly caused by a sprain lacerating the muscles, ten- 
 dons, or the ligaments of the joint. The sprain may 
 be caused by slipping, starting a heavy load, jump- 
 ing, a quick muscular movement, or from a power- 
 ful concussion. 
 
 WORTH ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS TO THEM. 
 
 Hammond, Ind., Jan. 23, 1S96. 
 
 H. S. BOSSART & CO., Latrobe, Pa. 
 
 Gentlemen. — In three weeks Curine removed an 
 enlargement on a valuable colt's leg. Prior to this 
 we had doctored him for one year without any ef- 
 fect whatever. The one bottle was worth one hun- 
 dred dollars to us. and we think that every horse- 
 man in the land should know of its merits. Please 
 send us six bottles, as we want to sell it for you. 
 Yours truly, 
 
 J. B. SMITH & CO., 
 
 Wholesale and Retail Grocers. 
 
80 CURINE-The Great 
 
 SYMPTOMS.— Continual lameness and some- 
 times swelling will appear at the point of injury. 
 The peculiar swing-ing- manner in which he carries 
 his leg forward while trotting or walking. In back- 
 ing him he will sometimes drag the whole leg, 
 seemingly without any motion in the upper part. 
 
 TREATMENT.—If the lameness is severe, give 
 the animal rest; bathe the shoulder thoroughly with 
 warm water twice a day, and when dry, paint with 
 DR. TURNBULL'S CURINE. Repeat twice a day 
 for one week, then allow it to remain for one week 
 and if the lameness is not entirely removed apply 
 the same treatment for another week. If the 
 lameness is not severe and the horse must be 
 worked, apply CURINE once a day for one week. 
 
 CALK WOUNDS. 
 
 Animals wearing sharp calks are liable to strike 
 or tramp themselves about the coronary regions. 
 Driving horses calked for driving on icy roads are 
 very apt to strike the guarters of the front feet, 
 while in the hind feet, the wound often results 
 from the animal resting with the heel of one foot

 FROM A VERY PROMINENT HORSEMAN 
 IN ONTARIO. 
 
 Richmond, Ont., Jan. 28th, 1896. 
 
 H. S. BOSSART & CO., Latrobe, Pa. 
 
 Gentlemen: — This is to certify that I have used 
 your Curine and must say it is the greatest medi- 
 cine I have ever used for lameness in horses of any 
 kind, and particularly for thrush. It will cure any 
 case of thrush in five davs. I can't get along with- 
 out it. Yours truly, *J. H. LANE. 
 
American Veterinary Remedy. 31 
 
 horses are more subject to this disease than coun- 
 try 'horses, owing to them remaining in filthy 
 stables. 
 
 CAUSES.— Animals standing in filthy stalls; sud- 
 den changes of dryness to excessive moisture. 
 Hard driving on rough roads may also induce this 
 disease. 
 
 SYMPTOMS.— An offensive smell in the cleft of 
 the frog; later a watery discharge, changing to a 
 mattery substance, and as the case becomes older, 
 lameness may be noticed, 
 
 TREATMENT.— Keep the stall clean. Cut the 
 diseased portion of the horn away, clean the cleft 
 of the frog thoroughly, then saturate the cleft and 
 grooves well with CITRINE and dress with roller 
 bandage or leather boot to keep the dirt out. Re- 
 peat once daily for one week. Keep the boot or 
 bandage on for another week and if a cure is not 
 effected, repeat for another week. 
 
 SCRATCHES— CRACKED HEELS. 
 
 This usually starts with heat and swelling in the 
 hollow of the heel, with stiffness and lameness in 
 many cases; slight cracks with a tendency to en- 
 large soon appear. It maj'' extend from the back 
 of the knee, or hock, to the hoof. 
 
 CAUSES.— Imperfect nourishment, cold draughts, 
 snow, and freezing mud, hot and dirty stables, 
 overfeeding on grain, washing the legs and failing 
 to thoroughly dry them, or wrapping the legs in 
 
 THE OWNER OF CORPORAL, 2:12V2. 
 
 Columbus, Neb., April 28, 1897. 
 
 H. S. Bossart & Co., Latrobe, Pa, 
 
 Gentlemen:— During the spring meeting at Den- 
 ver in 1896 my horse, the Corporal, went lame in a 
 race. I tried everything last summer to cure him, 
 but with no success. During this spring I bought a 
 bottle of Curine, and in ten days he was working 
 as sound as a dollar. Yours truly, 
 
 C, E. MORSE. 
 
)2 CURINE— The Great 
 
 wool bandages before they are dry. clipping the 
 heels, or long hair from pastern, etc. 
 
 TREATMENT.— Remove all dirt thoroughly with 
 warm water, and when well dried paint with CUR- 
 INE twice daily for one week, diluted with two to 
 four times equal quantities water and alcohol. 
 Bandage with a dry cotton bandage. Give a small 
 handful of Epsom or Glauber salts in feed, twice a 
 day for a week or so. 
 
 PULSE. 
 
 The Pulse or Heart in standard or thoroughbred 
 horses, when in health and at complete rest, should 
 beat forty to forty-flve times in a minute, while in 
 a heavy or coarse-bred animal it may only beat 
 thirty-five to forty times a minute. Work or ex- 
 citement increases the pulsation. 
 
 RESPIRATION. 
 
 A horse, when at complete rest and in good 
 health, breathes thirteen to fifteen times in a min- 
 ute. Excitement or work will increase the breath- 
 ine:. 
 
 TEMPERATURE. 
 
 The temperature of a horse in health may be 
 placed at about 100° F. Standard and thorough- 
 breds may be as high as 101° F. Mares have a 
 higher temperature than stallions or geldings. Ex- 
 ercise increases the temperature. 
 
 BIG LEG— LYMPHANGITIS. 
 
 Big Leg. — This disease is an inflammation of the 
 lymphatic structures and mostly appears in the 
 hind leg. It is very sudden and painful, accom- 
 panied with a high temperature. 
 
American Veterinary Remedy 33 
 
 SYMPTOMS.— Animal becomes chilly with rising 
 temperature, followed by lameness and swelling. 
 The swelling- appears at the inside of the thigh and 
 continues down to the foot. The swelling and tem- 
 perature will increase for a couple of days and 
 then commence to recede. It generally leaves a 
 permanent enlargement, unless very careful atten- 
 tion is given the animal. 
 
 TREATMENT.— Bathe the leg well with strong 
 ammonia water, to which add about one quart of 
 vinegar to each gallon. Bathe thoroughly every 
 half-hour for eight or ten hours, then dry the leg 
 well and bathe with a solution of CURINE diluted 
 with five times equal quantities water and alcohol. 
 Give ten to twenty drops each, fluid extract aconite 
 and digitalis every two hours until fever is reduced. 
 If at the end of a week or so some enlargement still 
 remains, paint with CURINE diluted with equal 
 quantities water and alcohol twice daily for two 
 weeks. Wash thoroughly every other day with 
 warm water and soap and when dry apply the 
 CURINE. 
 
 INDIGESTION. 
 
 The cause of indigestion is found to vary in dif- 
 ferent horses. The seat of the trouble is mostly 
 in the stomach or small intestines, and may be 
 caused by bad teeth, bolting of the food, irregular 
 feeding, or wintering on bulky food, such as corn- 
 stalks, bad hay, etc. 
 
 SYMPTOMS.— Irregular and depraved appetite; 
 bowels irregular; refusing food at times, and at 
 others eating ravenously; skin very hard and hide 
 bound. 
 
 FROM THE HOME OF QUARTERMASTER, 2:21i4. 
 
 Danbury, Conn., June 28, 1897. 
 H. S. Bossart & Co., Latrobe, Pa. 
 
 Gentlemen:— Please send us one-half dozen bot- 
 tles Curine. We have been using this remedy for 
 the past year with the very best of success. 
 
 Yours truly, RUNDLE & WHITE. 
 
34 CURINE-The Great 
 
 TREATMENT.— See that the food is of the right 
 kind and that he is fed regularly. If the teeth are 
 in bad shape, have them attended to at once. Give 
 the following: Nux vomica, one ounce; sulphate 
 of iron, one ounce; gentian, two ounces. Mix and 
 divide into twenty-one powders and give one in his 
 feed each meal. 
 
 CHAFING. 
 
 These wounds are caused by the chafing of the 
 harness, collar or saddle, and are most common in 
 the spring of the year, when the animal's skin is 
 tender. The harness and collars should be well 
 cleaned and oiled before the spring work is to be 
 commenced, and see that your harness and collar 
 fit the animal in the proper way, as ill-fitting col- 
 lars, in particular, are apt to cause sore shoulders 
 at any time. After the work for the day is done, 
 bathe the shoulders and the back where the saddle 
 rests well with cold water, and should you wish the 
 Skin to become tough, bathe with a solution of 
 white-oak bark. 
 
 TREATMENT.— This is very simple if the cause 
 be removed at once. Wash well with warm water 
 and soap, then paint over the surface twice daily 
 with CURINE diluted with ten times equal quan- 
 tities of water and alcohol, until a cure is effected. 
 
 WOUNDS— PUNCTURED. 
 
 Punctured wounds are much more common than 
 any other wounds of the horse, and are produced 
 by a blunt or sharp substance, such as the puncture 
 of a fork or nails, etc. These w^ounds most fre- 
 quently happen to the legs and feet and should have 
 prompt attention. The puncture of the foot is the 
 most serious and may be caused by stepping on 
 a nail or pieces of iron; or in shoeing, a nail may 
 be driven too near or into the quick. If the nail 
 be removed at once he may not show any lameness 
 at the present time, but, unless properly attended 
 
American Veterinary Remedy. 35 
 
 to, he may become very lame in a day or two. If 
 the nail remains in the foot the animal will become 
 worse from the start, until the cause is removed 
 and proper attention given to it. If a smith should 
 drive a nail too close to the quick, lameness may 
 not make its appearance for a week or more. 
 
 TREATMENT.— The pain from wounds in the 
 feet are very severe; the animal will raise and 
 lower the limb and the tendons and the fetlock 
 may swell. Have the shoe removed at once; draw 
 the nails separately, and notice if there is any mat- 
 ter in the nail holes; if not, examine the nails for 
 moisture. If no indication of trouble is revealed, 
 pinch or tap the foot carefully, and if pain is indi- 
 cated at any special point, pare the sole down thin 
 and when the proper place is located cut through 
 the sole at this spot. Remove all the sole that has 
 been undermined with pus. Poultice the foot for a 
 couple of days with linseed meal and then insert in 
 cavity a plug of oakum or cotton saturated with 
 CURINE once daily until cure is effected. Apply 
 roller bandage around foot if necessary. The horse 
 should be shod with a leather sole under shoe 
 packed with cotton or oakum, to keep dirt from 
 entering the wound. 
 
 SORE THROAT. 
 
 Inflammation of the larynx is a serious disease 
 and is usually complicated with inflammation of the 
 pharynx and is commonly called sore throat. 
 
 SYMPTOMS.— The first symptoms noticed is a 
 difficulty in swallowing, followed by a cough. The 
 
 WORTH ITS WEIGHT IN GOLD. 
 
 Indianapolis, Ind., Dec. 6, 1895. 
 H. S. Bossart & Co. 
 
 Gentlemen:— We have given your Curine a thor- 
 ough trial in our stable, and must say that its work 
 surpasses that of any other absorbent we have 
 used. It is worth its weight in gold when used on 
 a valuable horse. 
 
 FRANK STARR, W. H BOYCE. 
 
 Owners of Brightlight, 2:08i4. 
 
36 CURINE— The Great 
 
 mouth becomes hot and the glands swollen; mem- 
 brane in the nostrils becomes a reddish color and a 
 discharge soon appears. 
 
 TREATMENT.— Place the animal in a comfort- 
 able stall. Blanket the body and apply dry band- 
 ages on the legs. Place a small handful of hay in 
 a bucket and pour a pail full of boiling water over 
 it. Hold the animal's head over the pail and let 
 him inhale the steam for fifteen minutes; keep stir- 
 ring with a wisp of hay in order to cause the steam 
 to raise more freely. Repeat every hour until re- 
 lieved. Rub the throat, from ear to ear, well with 
 CURINE, twice a day for three or four days. His 
 diet should be of a laxative order, but should con- 
 stipation exist, give him an injection of warm water 
 every six hours for a day or two. Keep a pail full 
 of cold water before him all the time, on a level 
 with his head, so that he will not inflict pain by 
 raising or lowering his head. Should suffocation 
 seem inevitable, call in a qualified veterinary and 
 have him perform tracheotomy. 
 
 For swollen or suppurated glands always use 
 CURINE. Paint twice a day until cure is effected. 
 
 SIDE BONES. 
 
 A sidebone is the transformation of the lateral 
 cartilages found on the wings of the coffin bone 
 into bony matter by the deposition of lime salts. 
 The disease is common among all kinds of horses. 
 They mostly appear in the front feet and are of a 
 slow growth. They cause lameness when devel- 
 oped. They may be caused by injuries of the car- 
 tilages, or from the weight of the animal. 
 
 TREATMENT.— If feverish and sore, apply cold 
 water bandages for a couple of days until the in- 
 flammation has disappeared, then paint thoroughly 
 with CURINE, two or three times a day for a week. 
 If, upon returning to work, the trouble reappears, 
 repeat the treatment. 
 
American Veterinary Remedy. 37 
 
 SPRAINS. 
 
 When sprains occur in the legs, apply cold water 
 bandages- until fever is reduced, and then paint 
 with CURINE twice daily until cure is effected. 
 
 When in the shoulder, bathe thoroughly and paint 
 with CURINE twice a day until relieved. Let the 
 animal rest for a week. 
 
 ABSCESSES. 
 
 Abscesses may be caused by bad fitting collars, 
 colds, distemper, inflammation in the glands or 
 muscular tissue. At first the swelling is hard, but 
 in a little while it becomes soft, mostly in the cen- 
 ter. 
 
 TREATMENT.— If they are slow in coming to a 
 head, paint over the affected part twice a day with 
 CURINE. When they come to a head, open them 
 at the softest spot and squeeze the pus out gently. 
 Sponge it thoroughly with warm water a couple of 
 times a day and keep the wound open for two or 
 three daj's. Inject ten to fifteen drops of CURINE 
 once daily, diluted with four times water. 
 
 PLEURISY. 
 
 The pleura is the thin membrane that covers the 
 lungs and the internal wall of the chest. In health 
 the pleura throws off a fluid to prevent a friction 
 between the lungs and the other parts which come 
 in contact with them. When the pleura fails to 
 throw off the fluid, there is a friction that causes

 TIONEER. 
 
 Ravenna, Ohio, Feb. 10, 1896. 
 H. S. Bossart & Co., Latrobe, Pa. 
 
 Gentlemen:— The bottle of Curine T ordered from 
 you did its work to perfection. For Wind Puffs and 
 ugly sores on horses I believe it has no eQual. It 
 is indispensable in the stable of a humane horse 
 owner. Yours sincerely, L. H. BEAN. 
 
38 CURINE— The Great 
 
 inflammation of the membrane, and we liave what 
 is called pleurisy. 
 
 SYMPTOMS.— The animal becomes sort of stiff 
 and has no inclination to turn or move about. He 
 may act as though he had pain; elbows and feet 
 turned out; scarcely notice his ribs moving when 
 breathing, as each breath causes pain. His ears 
 and legs are cold, temperature and pulse high. If 
 you strike the ribs in different places with your 
 knuckles, you will come to the affected part and 
 the animal will evince great pain, or groan. The 
 trouble may terminate favorably in six or eight 
 days. In some cases swelling may appear under 
 the chest and down the legs, and if the fluid con- 
 tains pus it generally proves fatal. 
 
 TREATMENT.— Place in a comfortable stall, 
 with plenty of pure air. Blanket the body and ap- 
 ply dry bandages to the legs; give a laxative diet 
 and a plentiful supply of cold water. Give from a 
 half to a pint of raw linseed oil and apply hot 
 fomentations to the breast. If he should show 
 pain give two ounces tincture of opium every four 
 hours for a day or two. From the beginning give 
 the following drench three times a day: Solution 
 of the acetate of ammonia, two ounces; bicarbon- 
 ate of potassium, one-half ounce; spirits of nitrous 
 ether, two ounces; water, one-half to one pint. In 
 three or four days, when the fever and pain have 
 somewhat subsided, rub the breast and affected 
 side, or sides, once a day with CURINE diluted 
 with equal quantities of water and alcohol. This 
 will greatly promote the absorption of the. effusion. 
 
 CRAMP OF THE LEG. 
 
 A cramp of the leg may be due to an irritatio:i 
 of the nerves of the thigh; or it may come in cold 
 weather, and it comes sometimes after severe ex- 
 ercise. The leg is cold and the animal can scarcely 
 move it. It may be of short duration and it may 
 continue for a week. 
 
 TREATMENT.— Rub the muscles well with CUR- 
 INE and repeat twice a day until they are relaxed. 
 
American Veterinary Remedy. 39 
 
 HIP- LAMENESS. 
 
 Hip disease or lameness is similar in its causes 
 and results to that of shoulder lameness, and is 
 mostly caused by a sprain which may be brought 
 about by overexertion, slipping, etc. It will, of 
 course, manifest itself by signs and appearances 
 and is more marked when the bones are diseased 
 than when the muscles are affected. In examining 
 for hip joint disease, the lame side will be found 
 to be fuller, more developed and warmer. Grasp 
 the foot and produce a passive motion, and when 
 the foot is dropped to the grolind it will produce 
 pain. If the animal is moved along at a fair gait 
 the trouble will also be noticeable. 
 
 TREATMENT.— Give the horse rest and paint 
 with Dr. Turnbull's CURIXE over the affected part 
 twice a day for one week, or until a cure is effected. 
 In hip lameness the CURIXE can be used more 
 freely as the seat of the lameness is very deep. 
 
 SCOURS— DIARRHEA. 
 
 Horses that have long legs, and long and flat 
 bodies, are more subject to diarrhea than those of 
 a blocky build, and more especially if fed and wa- 
 tered immediately before driving, although any ani- 
 mal is liable to scours from many different causes, 
 such as an inflammatory condition of the intestinal 
 canal or its annexed organs; or it may be due from 
 eating musty food, bad condition of the teeth, im- 
 pure water, etc. 
 
 TREATMEXT.— The first thing to look after is 
 the kind of water and food he has been getting, and 
 if either of these are at fault discontinue them at 
 once. If it results from some irritant in the intes- 
 tines, give a pint of raw linseed oil and the diar- 
 
 When you ask your dealer for Dr. Turnbull's 
 CURIXE, see that you get the genuine. The 
 signature of W. A. W. Turnbull, V. M. D.. 
 will be found upon the wrapper on every 
 bottle of CURINE. 
 
40 CURINE— The Great 
 
 rhea will mostly disappear after the operation of 
 the oil ceases; but should the purging continue, it 
 can be easily checked by giving buckwheat or wheat 
 flour in water; or two ounces of laudanum; or two 
 ounces of paregoric three times a day. Afterwards 
 feed a laxative diet for a few days. 
 
 TOE AND QUARTPJR CRACKS. 
 
 Toe cracks nearly always affect the hind feet, 
 while quarter cracks are most common in the 
 fore feet, and appear on the lateral parts of the 
 wall. Toe cracks may appear on any part of the 
 wall, but ordinarily they are seen directly in front. 
 They may involve only the outer portion of the 
 wall, or they may be deep and involve the whole 
 wall and tissues beneath. 
 
 CAUSE. — Heavy shoes with nails set too far back 
 toward the heel, fast work on hard track or road 
 that is dry; excessive dryness of the hoof; bruises 
 and calk wounds are also causes of quarter cracks. 
 
 SYMPTOMS.— The fissure of the horn is very often 
 the only evidence of the disease, and this is some- 
 times hidden by the long hair on the coronet, or 
 it may be filled in with putty, wax or mud. They 
 sometimes commence on the inside of the wall and 
 leave a very thin layer on the outside surface.

 lar Disease. In the last mentioned case I have only 
 been using it two weeks, but I expect a permanent 
 cure. Enclosed find a check for one-half dozen 
 more bottles. Yours truly,

 weight of the body, the fissure closes, while in toe 
 cracks it opens. 
 
 The lameness of sand cracks is slight when the 
 animal walks, but on hard roads the faster he is 
 made to trot the worse he limps. 
 
 TREATMENT.— In ordinary cases of quarter 
 crack, shoe with a tip. Stimulate the growth of 
 the horn by painting around the coronet twice daily 
 with CURINE for two or three days, and then 
 turn to pasture for a couple of weeks, when he may 
 be taken up and shod with a bar shoe and put to 
 work. 
 
 In toe cracks, lower the heel by paring, but spare 
 the toe, except directly under the crack, where it 
 is to be pared away until it rests free from the 
 shoe. The shoe should have a clip on each side of 
 che fissure. Paint the coronary band with CUR- 
 INE same as for quarter cracks. 
 
 If the above treatment fails, the horn must be 
 softened by the use of warm water and poultices 
 and the walls of the fissure removed with the knife 
 in the shape of the letter V. Sponge the wound 
 thoroughly with the following solution: CURINE, 
 one part; water, ten parts. Now saturate a pad 
 of oakum with the same solution ; place it over the 
 wound and bandage with a damp roller bandage. 
 Repeat once a day for a week, and then the oakum 
 and bandage only will be needed. 
 
 GLANDERS— FARCY. 
 
 Glanders and farcy are the same disease, only 
 the first term applies to the disease when the le- 
 sions occur in the internal organs; and the second 
 term is applied to it when the lesions appear on the 
 skin of the animal. It is a fatal disease, sooner or 
 later. We read of it in ancient history as affecting 
 the army of Constantine as far back as B. C. 330, 
 and some of the veterinarians in those early days 
 gave a very good description of this terrible dis- 
 ease. It is very contagious and may be readily 
 
42 CURINE— The Great 
 
 communicated to the human race. Horned cattle 
 are about the only class of animals exempt from 
 this disease. Glanders is characterized by the for- 
 mation of tubercles which degenerate into ulcers 
 from which exudes a discharge that contains virus, 
 and, if inoculated, will destroy the entire system. 
 
 TREATMENT. — So far as medicine is concerned, 
 there is no drug that would be of any benefit to 
 this disease. We would advise that the owner on 
 first suspicion of glanders, destroy the animal im- 
 mediately, and all articles with which he has come 
 in contact should be disinfected at once. The laws 
 of the different states are very stringent in regard 
 to animals being affected with glanders, and should 
 the owner try to hide the presence of the disease 
 he should be punished to the full extent of the law. 
 
 SPRAINS OF THE LOINS. 
 
 This affection is difficult to distinguish from many 
 similar cases. The muscles of the back and loin 
 are injured. 
 
 SYMPTOMS.— If the animal yields or shrinks 
 from pressure or pinching on the back near the 
 loin, he is pronounced by many as having kidney 
 trouble or sprained in the loins. This is mostly an 
 error, as the majority of horses, and especially 
 high-bred animals, will yield from a slight pressure 
 when in the best of health. If the back or loins

 be sprained, the animal will yield from pressure 
 of any kind, ar.d while, at rest he will stand with 
 his back in an arched condition and hind legs sep- 
 arated, or if in motion and is made to stop suddenly 
 he will evince pain and probably throw his hind 
 legs forward under the body. 
 
 TREATMENT.— Give the animal rest, and. if pos- 
 sible, place him in a sling. Bathe the back and 
 over the loins well with hot water, and when dry 
 paint with CURINE diluted with equal parts alco- 
 hol and water. Repeat twice a day for four or five 
 days, and allow the animal rest for another week. 
 
 CANKER. 
 
 Canker of the foot is a disease produced by a 
 vegetable parasite. It destroys the sole, frog, and 
 sets up inflammation in the deeper tissues. The 
 parasite may be called contagious, but they must 
 find a suitable place in the foot to grow before they 
 are reproduced. Dampness is the most favorable 
 cause for the development of this disease, as it is 
 much more common in wet than in dry seasons. 
 
 SYMPTOMS.— It may appear in all the feet at the 
 same time, but usually it will be found in one foot 
 and then in the other, etc. When it attacks the 
 foot you will notice a thin watery discharge, and 
 as this secretion dries it forms a matter very of- 
 fensive to the sense of smell, and later will rot 
 away the horn of the frog, and sole, and when this 
 is destroyed lameness will appear. 
 
 TREATMENT.— Cleanse the foot thoroughly with 
 warm water and apply a linseed poultice containing

 one-half to one ounce of CURINE; when "weil poul- 
 ticed, remove all the diseased portions of the horn; 
 cut off all the prominent points of the soft tissues 
 and nail on carefully a broad plain shoe. Now paint 
 with CURINE over the diseased portion; place a 
 pad of oakum over the foot and apply a roller band- 
 age. Repeat once a day until the soft tissues are 
 all horned over, then dilute CURINE with five 
 times water and continue the dressing until a per- 
 manent cure is effected. Do not allow your patience 
 to become exhausted in treating for canker, as in 
 some cases it is very slow to yield. 
 
 CONTRACTED HEELS. 
 
 Contracted heels is a disease common among 
 horses that are kept on hard dry floors. It nearly 
 always affects the fore feet, and is caused by the 
 tissues of the foot shrinking away, which may be 
 the result of too sudden a change from wet, marshy 
 ground to dry stables; or faulty shoeing. They may 
 also become contracted from diseases, such as ring- 
 bone, navicular disease, corns, thrush, canker etc. 
 
 SYMPTOMS.— The whole hoof is so dry and hard 
 that it can scarcely be cut; the heels are higher; 
 the frog is pinched and much shrunken between the 
 enclosing heels. When the disease is advanced, 
 lameness will appear. 
 
 TREATMENT.— Remove the shoe and lower the 
 heels; soak the foot or feet In cold water with a 
 handful of salt in it for a couple of days until the 
 horn becomes soft; or, if desired, the foot may be 
 poulticed until the horn is soft. Now shoe with a

 Read what Dick Wilson, of Binghamton, N. Y., 
 driver of Bumps, 2:04%, and other good ones, says: 
 "I have been using Curine for the last three months 
 and I am free to say that I think it the best prep- 
 aration in the world. It will reach deep-seated 
 troubles where all other medicines fail. I find the 
 same verdict among all first-class drivers and own- 
 ers at the Buffalo meeting:." 
 
American Veterinary Remedy. 45 
 
 "tip," rasp away the horn of the wall until a thin 
 layer covers the tissues beneath the heel so that 
 the frog- may rest on the ground. Paint around 
 the coronet with CURINE once a day for a week 
 and repeat in three or four weeks. This will stim- 
 ulate a rapid and healthy g-rowth of horn. If the 
 animal's service can be spared, turn him to pasture 
 in a damp field for a -month or so; if not, use some 
 good hoof ointment on the horn and sole and 
 make the floor of his stall damp with clay or wet 
 straw. If all horses stood on damp clay floors 
 there would be few contracted heels. 
 
 SPRAINS OF THE FETLOCK. 
 
 Sprains of the fetlock mostly happen to the fore 
 leg, and trotters, pacers and runners are particu- 
 larly liable to this injury. 
 
 CAUSES. — It generally happens by making a mis- 
 step, slipping, stumbling, or the animal is caught 
 in a rut or hole and struggles violently. 
 
 SYMPTOMS.— While at rest the leg is flexed at 
 the joint affected and the toe rests on the ground. 
 The joint swells and becomes hot. 
 
 TREATMENT.— Give the animal rest and apply 
 cold water bandages every hour until the fever has 
 subsided, then paint with Dr. Turnbull's CURINE 
 twice daily for one week; allow the animal another 
 
 CURINE CURES.

 I^. S. Bossart & Co., Latrobe, Pa.: 
 
 In April I purchased a bottle of your Curine. 
 Since that time I have thoroughly tested the merits 
 of this medicine, and I am free to say that I have 
 never used anything that would compare with it 
 as a remedy for removing bunches of all kinds from 
 horses. I have one horse at present that had a 
 very bad curb that it has completely cured.

 week's rest, and if the lameness has not all disap- 
 peared, repeat the treatment with the CURINE. 
 If the ligaments of the joint are ruptured the lame- 
 ness may last Quite a while. 
 
 FROG BRUISE. 
 
 A bruise of the frog usuaJly happens from the 
 animal stepping on a hard object. If a stone is 
 wedged between the sides of the frog, or in the 
 cleft of the frog, and allowed to remain there for 
 some time it may produce the same result, espe- 
 cially if he is moving at a fast gait. 
 
 SYMPTOMS.— When the animal moves, the toe is 
 placed to the ground, and when he is resting the 
 leg is extended, with the toe resting on the ground. 
 This is done in order to keep all pressure from the 
 frog. When the injured spot is found and no open- 
 ing exists, it should be pared through until a thin 
 watery pus escapes; if a ragged opening exists and 
 a greenish pus is escaping, gangrene of the plantar 
 cushion has set in. 
 
 TREATMENT.— Remove the shoe, pare the sole 
 down thin and poultice the foot for a couple of 
 days. When the pus has loosened the horn, all the 
 detached portions should be cut away. If gan- 
 grene of the plantar cushion has set in, one-half 
 of the frog, or probably the whole of it, will be 
 found to have separated from the plantar cushion 
 and should be removed with the knife. In a couple 
 of days the unhealthy portion of the cushion will 
 slough off from the effects of the poultice. Now 
 take a camel's hair brush and pencil the wound

 with a solution of one part CURINE to four parts 
 water; cover the wound carefully with a pad of 
 oakum saturated in the same solution, and apply 
 a roller bandage. Repeat once a day until a thin 
 layer of new horn has grown over the exposed 
 parts. The animal may now be shod, first cover 
 the frog with a pad of oakum held in place by a 
 piece of leather covering the foot and nailed on 
 with the shoe. Give slow work for a couple of 
 weeks. 
 
 DISTEMPER. 
 
 Distemper appears as a fever and lasts for a few 
 days, with formation of matter in the lungs and 
 air tubes, which may form abscesses in various 
 parts of the body. It is an infectious disease, but 
 it generally leaves the animal in as healthy a form 
 as before, and also 'from future trouble of the same 
 kind. 
 
 CAUSES. — Young horses from one to five years 
 of age are more subject to this disease than older 
 animals, and as it is infectious, it is very often 
 brought about by the colt being placed in a stable 
 with older horses that may be bearers of some in- 
 fectious disease. Standard and thoroughbred 
 horses are more apt to contract the disease at an 
 earlier age than heavier or more sluggish animals. 
 
 SYMPTOMS.— The coat becomes dry, the hair 
 stands on end, appetite may or may not be dimin- 
 ished; horse may have chills in different parts of 
 the body, fever, and pulse becomes high; eyes and 
 mouth are of a reddish color. The colt may sneeze 
 and cough, and at the end of a couple of days a thin 
 watery discharge from the nostrils takes place, 
 and later it becomes thicker and of a yellowish 
 color. In a couple of days after the discharge has 
 taken place you will notice a swelling under the 
 jaw which will gradually form an abscess, break 
 open and discharge. At the end of four or five 
 days th« discharge lessens; the animal regains his 
 appetite and is himself again. 
 
48 CURINE— The Great 
 
 TREATMENT.— Protect him from the cold and 
 make him comfortable with blankets. If his appe- 
 tite remains good, feed him good clean hay, oats 
 and a nice hot bran mash once or twice a day. If 
 the fever is high, feed him a small handful of Ep- 
 som salts twice a day. Put a small handful of hay 
 with a little pine tar on it in a bucket and pour a 
 pail of boiling water over it; hold the horse's head 
 over this for ten or fifteen minutes and let him 
 inhale the steam thoroughly; keep stirring it with 
 a wisp of hay. Repeat three or four times a day 
 until the cough is relieved. If the abscess under 
 the jaw is large, open it at once and bathe it and 
 the swollen gland well with warm water. Do not 
 blister the throat, as no medicine is necessary for 
 the treatment of distemper, unless other complica- 
 tions arise. 
 
 MANGE. 
 
 Mange is due to the irritation of the skin caused 
 by a small parasite. 
 
 SYMPTOMS. — An incessant and increasing itch- 
 ing in some parts of the back, mane, head, tail and 
 lower parts of the legs or heels. The hair may be 
 rubbed off, eruptions and scab formed from the 
 effects of the constant scratching:. 
 
 TREATMENT.— Wash thoroughly with warm wa- 
 ter and castile soap until scabs are removed, and 
 when dry paint over the affected parts with CUR- 
 INE, Repeat once a day for two or three days. 
 Wash all harness, brushes, curry combs and stable 
 utensils in a solution of creolol, two ounces to one 
 gallon of water. Boil all blankets and rubbing 
 cloths in water and whitewash the stalls. As a 
 new family of these parasites are raised about every 
 two weeks, it would be well at the end of that time 
 to apply CURINE again for a couple of days, same 
 as before. 
 
American Veterinary Remedy. 4a 
 
 MASTURBATION— SELF- ABUSE. 
 
 Stallions acquire this vicious habit, stimulating 
 the sexual instinct to the discharge of semen by 
 rubbing the penis against the belly. This habit is 
 very common among standard and thoroughbred 
 stallions. The writer has seen high-bred colts one 
 year old abuse themselves, and very often when 
 young colts at the age of one and two years do not 
 thrive, the direct cause can be traced to self-abuse. 
 
 TREATMENT.— Always keep a stallion shield on 
 your horse; plenty of good ones on the market, such 
 as the Tenny, Springsteen, Kentucky, etc. A stal- 
 lion that is not worth a shield is not worth having.

 SHOEING. 
 
 Although the subject discussed in the present 
 chapter may not be entitled to a place in a cate- 
 gory of the ailments to which horseflesh is heir, 
 bad and indifferent shoeing are such prolific sources 
 of both disability and disease in the noblest of all 
 our dumb animals, that no excuse is necessary in 
 claiming for it equal attention at the hands of those 
 interested. No horseman questions the old saying 
 "no foot, no horse," and yet in no portion of that 
 animal's economy has he suffered so many wrongs 
 as in his feet, which is due directly or indirectly to 
 improper shoeing. We are reluctant to admit that 
 the ordinary iron or steel shoe is the best artificial 
 protection to the horse's foot. That the system of 
 horseshoeing as it obtains even in the most skillful 
 hands, is pregnant with mischief to the foot, no one 
 who is conversant with the facts will deny. Each 
 time a horse is shod— every nail drawn— means so 
 much injury to the foot. The better the job the less 
 injury. 
 
 We have, however, to deal with the facts as we 
 find them, and as we have to impose upon our 
 horse's work of a nature that entails upon their 
 feet more waste of horn than nature can replace 
 during the ordinary interval of rest, we are obliged 
 to adopt a defense of some kind. 
 
 Without wishing to do injustice to the rural 
 knights of the anvil, it is nevertheless a lamentable 
 truth that these votaries of the buttress and draw- 
 ing-knife are, all the world over, so wedded to a 
 number of traditionary practices, so heinous and 
 prejudicial to the interest of the horse and his own- 
 er that one mfght well be excused for wondering 
 whether their mission were not to mar instead of to 
 protect the perfect handiwork of our Creator. 
 
 Ignorant at the anatomy and physiology of the 
 parts, they cut, they mutilate and carve as whim, 
 prejudice or time-honored custom dictates. Dis- 
 aster it may be slowly, but surely follows and the 
 poor dumb creatures' suffering foots the bill. Let 
 us glance at some of the traditional practices. 
 
American Veterinary Remedy. 51 
 
 Among them is the insane habit of trimming the 
 frog and thinning out the sole till it will visibly yield 
 to the pressure of fhe operators' thumbs. The frog 
 is nature's cushion and hoof-expander, placed there 
 by an all-wise hand; by its elasticy it wards off 
 concussion from the less elastic portion of the 
 structure and by its resilence assists in maintain- 
 ing the natural expansion of its horny ambit, that 
 is, it does so in its natural state, but the drawing- 
 knife touch is fatal to it. Once cut, carved and de- 
 prived of its pressure, causes it to shrink, dry, and 
 harden and at once lose those attributes which con- 
 stitutes its usefulness to the foot. 
 
 The operator next turns his attention to the 
 sole, which, by all traditions of the craft, must be 
 pared down until only a thin, soft and partially 
 formed horn is left to protect the living structures 
 within against injury from the substances from 
 which the foot necessarily comes in contact with. 
 
 On this maimed foot a shoe, often many sizes 
 too small, is tacked, and the rasp is mostly used to 
 reduce the foot to fit the shoe; for although it is 
 apparently of little moment whether the shoe fits 
 the foot, but it is necessary that the foot, somehov,- 
 or other, fit the shoe. The foot is now shod and 
 protected from undue wear, to be sure, but at what 
 a sacrifice! Robbed of its cushion. Its natural ex- 
 pander; its sole mangled; its horny wall crushed 
 and deflected by an unncessary number of nails; 
 robbed by the rasp of its cortical layer of natural 
 varnish, which retains the moisture secreted by the 
 economy, and the foot is a very sorry plight in- 
 deed. It is a fact all the world over the farrier is 
 the only one among all our artisans who is least 
 amenable to suggestions from his employer. When 
 the ordinary horse-owner takes his animal to the 
 shoeing forge he has usually to place himself in the 
 blacksmith's hands and give him his own way to 
 cut and carve at his unholy will, or else take his 
 horse elsewhere and then probably find himself no 
 better off. The result is that his horse's feet are 
 mercilessly mutilated instead of being left as nearly 
 as possible as nature made them. 
 
62 CURINE— The Great 
 
 THE SHOE. 
 
 Th^' «hoe should be as light as tne weight of the 
 animal and the nature of the work he is expected to 
 peirform will admit of. 
 
 The mission of the shoe is to prevent undue wear 
 of the walls, and a light shoe will do this as well 
 as a heavy one. Make the shoe to fit the foot in- 
 stead of the foot to fit the shoe. Level the foot 
 perfectly and use the knife very sparingly and do 
 not cut away any of the frog as nature will take 
 care of that. Use small nails and not too many; 
 do not drive too high up into the walls. If a per- 
 fectly level bearing has been obtained— as ought to 
 be the case — it is astonishing how fev/ and how 
 small nails will hold the shoe firmly in its place. 
 When the shoe has been fitted, the nails drawn up 
 and- clinched, there should be nothing left to be> 
 done. It is just at this stage that the incompetent 
 workman, in the most uncalled for manner, in- 
 flicts serious and lasting injuries on the foot by 
 rasping away the thin coating of natural varnish 
 on the outer portion of the foot which is put there 
 by nature to protect the moisture necessary for 
 the protection of the horn and foot. 
 
 Shoes should be removed, refitted and redriven 
 every four to six weeks. 
 
 In this short article on shoeing we are not writing 
 for. the trotting horseman who knows his own busi- 
 ness better than we can teach him, and thanks 
 be to him for the amount of attention that he has 
 given to proper shoeing which tends to the more 
 perfect development of that paragon of horse-flesh, 
 the American trotter, who has macle better progress 
 in America than in any other country on the face 
 of the globe. 
 
 The different styles of shoes which have been de- 
 vised are marvels of ingenuity, and many of them 
 are admirably effective as remedial agents for 
 faulty gaits and uneven action. Their number is 
 infinite, but as many of them are applicable only 
 to horses used solely for speed purposes, an at- 
 tempt to give a description would be out of place 
 in a work of this kind.

 DR. TURNBULL'S PREPARATION FROM A 
 SCIENTIFIC STANDPOINT. 
 
 Clipping from the Western Horseman, May 16, 
 appearing also in Chicago Horseman, May 23; Ken- 
 tucky Stock Farm, May 23; American Sportsman, 
 May 23; Horse Review, May 28; Turf, Field and 
 Farm, May 30, 1895: 
 
 Of the many proprietarj- and quack medicines now 
 on the market very few have any medicinal value. 
 The proprietors of most veterinary preparations 
 know absolutely nothing of veterinary science, 
 equally little of the actien of compounding of 
 drugs, and having no reputation at stake, rely on 
 extensive advertising, a few bogus testimonials 
 and considerable gall in order to sell their nostrums. 
 Again, the low figure at which many of these are 
 placed on the market is in itself prima facie evi- 
 dence of fraud. Some time ago the firm of H. S. 
 Bossart & Co. commenced advertising a prepara- 
 tion formulated bj' Dr. Turnbull. These gentle- 
 men claim great curative powers for their medicine, 
 and they are responsible people. I determined to 
 put their preparation to the same thorough test, 
 both practical and analytical, to which I have sub- 
 jected many other proprietary mixtures, and to 
 give the results to the horse-loving public. During 
 the time taken up by my investigation (in which 
 I was greatly assisted by a medical friend) I pro- 
 cured more information about the members of the 
 firm, visited their excellent laboratory and inter- 
 viewed many of the most prominent horsemen who 
 have used their preparation. Dr. Turnbull, the or- 
 iginator of the formulas, is an experienced and 
 well-known veterinarian. The doctor is a gradu-

 ate of the University of Pennsylvania, and he also 
 studied in Europe. At the University of Pennsyl- 
 vania he not only held a position in the Veterinary 
 School, but was also resident surgeon in the vet- 
 erinary hospital attached to that institution. This 
 hospital is the finest in the country, and its free 
 clinics, etc., give exceptional facilities for study. 
 Not satisfied with his own opinion, Dr. TurnbuU 
 made several trips to Europe to consult the most 
 prominent veterinary scientists in regard to his 
 preparation, which, after repeated and careful 
 trials on the most hopeless cases, he then placed 
 on the market. Mr. H. S. Bossart, the manufac- 
 turer, is a prominent business man and proprietor 
 of the fine new dri\'ing park at Latrobe. Mr. Bos- 
 sart recognized the need of such a medicine, and, 
 having often seen the grand results from Dr. Turn- 
 bull's treatment, became interested in the business. 
 
 From the above it is easily seen that a guarantee 
 from such men should convey great weight. Of the 
 above preparations I cannot speak too highly, and 
 from the chemist's standpoint it is a model of the 
 highest excellence. 
 
 After repeated trials by myself and assistant they 
 have accomplished what the manufacturers claim 
 for it, and any horseman who is in need of such 
 medicine will serve his own and animal's interest 
 by using Dr. Turnbull's medicine.

HORSE CUPPING MACHINES 
 
 There are two kinds of Horse Clipping Machines: 
 The Best — and the Rest. The trouble is they all 
 look alike. And when the rest dress like the best, 
 who^s to tell them apart ? Well^ ^'the tree is known 
 by it^s fruit/* That^s an old test and a safe one. 
 And the taller the tree the deeper the root. That^s 
 another test. What*s the root, — the record of these 
 machines. The one with the deepest root is the 
 '^GILLETTE.'' The one with the richest fruit— that^ 
 too, is the ''GILLETTE.'* If you want to get the 
 best Machine of your dealer, here's an infallible rule : 
 Ask for the best and you will get a ''GILLETTE." 
 Ask for a "GILLETTE** and you will get the best.

 S. W. Mackky, Esq. Baltimore, Md.: 
 
 Dear Sir — Goods received all O. K. I cured one case of 
 contracted feet with navicular lameness, which had been lame for 
 one and a half years. I made the cure in six days. It was for 
 Doctor T. F. Major, M. D., Scio, N. Y. The feet opened one- 
 half inch when the Expanders were applied, and another halt 
 inch when they were in six days. This horse was on pasture all 
 last Summer and vvas no better in the Fall. He was so lame that 
 he had not tried to use him for over a year. Now he is the best 
 horse he has and he uses him every day. The Doctor says they 
 have worked wonders. You can give anyone his or my address 
 for references. I enclose P. O. Order for one dozen pairs of 
 Springs. Send by Express. They are all right, as all I have 
 used are relieving lameness in every case. I am, My Dear Sir, 
 Most respectfully, C. A. Simmons, D. V. S.
