100 DISEASES OF 



two days, and must be kept in a quiet, dark stall. 

 Allow the patient as much water as it will take. Dress 

 the wound twice a day with HEARD'S HEALING LOTION, 

 and if the patient seems to suffer much pain, adminis- 

 ter a bottle of HEARD'S MAGIC MIXTURE. If the animal 

 inproves, give it soft food, oat-meal drinks, grass if in 

 season and linseed-tea. I have had success in a num- 

 ber of cases of this fatal disease by the above men- 

 tioned treatment. 



GLANDERS FARCY. 



THIS is one of the most dangerous and fatal diseases 

 to which the horse is liable. 



Causes. An animal that has suffered from any de- 

 bilitating disease, such, as for example, distemper, is more 

 liable to contract the disease than- one in perfect health. 

 Abrasions or sores on the gums or lips will afford easy 

 access to the germs. In a large number of cases this 

 disease is taken at a public watering trough; sometimes 

 in blacksmith shops, sometimes in livery stables, where 

 strange horses are frequently put up for a short time 

 to feed, etc. In every case we may be certain that it is 

 taken from a pre-existing case of glanders, although 

 the animal from which the disease is taken may not 

 have been in contact with the inoculated animal at all, 

 nor in fact been at the place of infection for months. It 

 has been asserted that the germs of glanders will live 

 for many months when deposited on boards or other 

 materials which enter into the composition of stables. 

 The germs may be mixed with mucus and be deposited 

 on the boards in front of a stall; another animal rub- 

 bing its lips on the boards is liable to take the disease.
