Treatment. The animal should be jrivon a rest, and hot water 

 applied to the affected parts for an hour at a time two or three 

 times a day. Bathe the parts with our Liniment (see Appendix), 

 well rubbed in two or three times a day. This is undoubtedly 

 the best liniment made for sprains and bruises and all muscular 

 soreness. After the inflammation and swelling has gone down 

 and the horse is still lame, the parts should be slightly blistered 

 by rubbing in our Spavin Cure (see Appendix) lightly, according 

 to directions, and give the horse a run at pasture. 



ENLARGED JOINTS. 



Enlarged joints are very frequently seen on horses that have 

 had rough usage and hard work. They may be due to an injury,

Treatment. If the enlargement is of a bony formation it can 

 not be removed. If the horse is lame, the lameness may be re- 

 moved, but the enlargement will remain. If the enlargement is 

 of a fleshy nature it may be removed by applying some good ab-

 Cure will not remove an enlargement of this kind, no medicine 

 will, for it is the best absorbing, penetrating, and sweating blister 

 made. Use according to direction on each bottle.

 covering the stifle, the same as the knee-cap covers the knee in
