SPI\AI 



LlN 



Of the Hinder Sinews of the Legs. 



The horse is suddenly very lame, growing 

 worse all the time if used. 



SIGNS. 



By passing the hand over the hinder tendons 

 (alluded to in heading) you will find them some- 

 what enlarged and proportionately inflamed. 



TKEATMEMT. 



Use cooling and stringent washes, mz: Acet- 

 ates of Zinz or Lead, 2 ounces of either, to first 

 be dissolved in ^ gallon cold water, and adding 

 2 quarts strong vinegar, with which bathe several 

 times per day for 3 or 4 days, and if you do not 

 see some decided improvement after that time has 

 passed, prepare the following, mz: 1 quart Al- 

 cohol, Camphor Gum 2 ounces, Turpentine 2 

 ounces, Resin Soap 1 Ib. Shave the soap as fine 

 as possible, and put in large, stout bottle and 

 agitate until thoroughly dissolved, when it may 

 be applied 3 or 4 times a day, rubbing in well 

 with the hand. If after all the foregoing means 

 the horse does not much improve, bandage the 

 limb firmly flannel and add -J- as much Aqua 

 Ammonia to your liniment as you have remain- 

 ing of liniment and apply in frequency as before, 

 over bandage.
