either side, and by means of pulleys raising him up 

 so that the feet just touch the ground, the canvas 

 being supplied with heavy bands before and behind, 

 to keep the body securely fixed in the canvas. The 

 fractured ends of the limb should then be carefully 

 adjusted, and the limb wound well with a roller-band- 

 age, then a pair of iron splints, grooved so as to fit 

 the limb, and well wadded with tow; the splint that 

 is behind two or three inches longer than the foot, 

 should be securely bound on. The whole internal 

 bandage should be bathed in THE MARVEL, and kept 

 wet with it, from time to time, for a week. This will 

 subdue the inflammation, and hasten the union of 

 the parts. After eight days, the splints should be 

 removed and the limb examined, and again replaced, 

 to remain five or six weeks, at the end of which time 

 the splint may be removed, and a simple bandage 

 and lighter splint retained until the cure is perfected 

 in some six weeks longer, when the animal may be 

 trusted to use his lirnb. If the ends are in proper 

 apposition, and maintained there, the union will be 

 perfect, with but little swelling or deformity. 



The general treatment of all fractures is to place 

 the parts in apposition, keep them there by proper 

 splints and bandage, and keep the place wet with the 

 MARVEL, until the heat and swelling have subsided. 

 A dose of the Specific, B B, for SPRAINS and INJU- 

 RIES, ten drops will be appropriate morning and night.
