MODERN BLACKSMITHING 167 



DISTEMPER 



Distemper is a disease of the blood. The symptoms 

 are: Swelling under the jaws; inability to swallow; 

 a mucous discharge from the nose. 



Give the horse a dry and warm place and nourishing 

 food. Apply hot linseed poultice to the swellings 

 under the jaws and give small doses of cleansing pow- 

 der for a few days. 



HYDROPHOBIA 



As soon as a case is satisfactorily recognized, kill 

 the horse, as there is no remedy yet discovered that 

 will cure this terrible disease. 



SPAVIN 



There are four kinds of spavin and it is difficult for 

 any one but a veterinarian to tell one kind from 

 another. In all cases of spavin (except blood spavin) 

 the horse will start lame, but after he gets warmed up 

 the lameness disappears and he goes all right until 

 stopped and cooled off, when he starts worse than 

 before. 



There are many so-called spavin cures on the mar- 

 ket, some of them good, others worse than nothing. 

 If you don't want to call a veterinarian, I would advise 

 you to use "Kendall's Spavin Cure." This cure is 

 one of the best ever gotten up for this disease, and no 

 bad results will follow the use of it if it does not cure. 

 It is for sale by most druggists.
