DR. LEGEAR'S STOCK BOOK. 135 



Sprinkle the stall or room the horse is in once a day with car- 

 bolic acid 1 ounce, water 1 gallon. There is a preparation called 

 Tetanus Antitoxin, that is of rather recent discovery, that is 

 proving to be a very valuable agent in the treatment of this 

 disease in the hands of the veterinary profession. It is a serum 

 preparation and is injected under the skin to destroy the toxin 

 (poison) caused by the germs of the disease. This antitoxin is 

 but little used as yet in the South, and is rather expensive to use 

 on the common class of horses in Texas.
