Treatment. Perfect rest ; keep the animal warm 

 with plenty of surface clothing and bandages on the 

 legs, and rub HEARD'S AMERICAN EMBROCATION on the throat 

 3 times a day. Place on the tongue with a spoon or 

 flat piece of wood about a tablespoonful of the follow- 

 ing paste : syrup, one-half pint ; chlorate of potash, 2 

 oz. ; quinine, 2 drams ; oil of tar, 2 drams ; licorice 

 powder, 1 oz. ; mix well. Give this 4 times a day. If 

 there is no other complication, this is not a dangerous 

 disease, but when badly treated the membranes of the 

 throat are sometimes permanently thickened, which is 

 occasionally the cause of roaring. The animal should 

 be allowed to properly recover from the disease before 

 being worked. When the appetite returns give HEARD'S 

 QUININE CONDITION POWDERS 3 times a day as a tonic.
