Mix, and give as a drench, and repeat every two or three 

 hours until the horse is not so distressed. 



The animal should be well blanketed. The legs should be 

 bathed with hot water and then bandaged with woolen bandages. 

 Don't put the patient in a close stable, but allow plenty of fresh 

 air. Instead of the above prescription, you may give 1 ounce 

 of tincture of arnica in one-half pint of water every hour until 

 relieved. Or turpentine, 1 ounce, may be given in one-half pint 

 of new milk. Give the animal plenty of pure cold water and 

 good, nutritious, easily digested food, as grass, boiled oats, bran 

 mash, linseed meal, etc. After the alarming symptoms have 

 passed off you may give: 



Tincture ginger 1 ounce. 



Tincture iron 2 drams. 



Tincture gentian 2 ounces. 



Water 1 pint. 



Mix, and give as a drench every six hours for a couple 

 of days. 



Care should be taken of the animal for several days. During 

 recovery give as directed Dr. LeGear's Condition Powders night 

 and morning in damp feed for several days. 



PNEUMONIA LUNG FEVER. 



This is inflammation of the lungs. Both lungs may be at- 

 tacked, but, as a general rule, one lung only is afflicted, and that 

 is usually the right one.
