34 ROE ON THE HORSE. 



limbs and use the following liniment about the 

 head and along the whole course of the spine, 

 bountifully, mz: 2 ounces Aqua Ammonia, 2 

 ounces Turpentine, 1 ounce Oil Origanum, 2 

 ounces strong Spirits of Camphor. See that the 

 bowels are actively moved by above means, and 

 should you not be able to get the ingredients for 

 above liniment at once, use Spirits of Turpentine 

 or Aqua Ammonia plentifully over the spinal 

 column and about the head. But, if in spite of 

 all the following means, the horse is becoming 

 worse and warse, plunging against everything 

 within reach and apparently indifferent to every- 

 thing about him, hopeless inflammation has sie- 

 zed him and the sooner he is shot the better as 

 recovery is impossible.

HOROUGHPIN, 



This is a disease sometimes identified with 

 Bog (or Blood Spavin), but so distinct in situa- 

 tion, as to demand (at least) a separate and dis- 

 tinct name; for while Bog Spavin, like Bone 

 Spavin, is always found on the inside of hind 

 leg, just below the knee (or hock joint) and is 

 easily compressible outwards and inwards, and 

 if the same kind of remedies recommended for 

 Bog Spavin do riot cure, mz: (Iodine and the 

 Rubber bandage, to the extent of causing adhe- 

 sion), there is but very little hope of ever being 

 able to effect a cure at all.
