88 SPEEDY Cur. 



Saddle-G-alls, G-alled Back or 

 Breast. 



Not unfrequently from long continued pressure of 

 the saddle, or collar, or oiher portions of the harness, 

 especially when not properly fitted, the part becomes 

 injured or bruised. The result is a swelling of the 

 part. Sometimes a small circular bruise or extrava- 

 sation of blood, termed "warble," results, or these 

 may ulcerate, producing in healing a thickening of 

 the skin termed "sitfast." Thus we may have all 

 grades from mere charing and swelling to ulceration, 

 cicatrization, and permanent scar. 



TREATMENT. In fresh injuries arising from cha- 

 fing of the harness or saddle, apply THE MARVEL to 

 the part two or three times per day, or if this is not 

 at hand, ARNICA and cold water. A slight chafing 

 or excoriation is relieved by cold water or salt and 

 water. 



Speedy Cut. 



This term is applied to an injury on the enlarge- 

 ment of the splint bone inside of the leg immediately 

 under the knee. A horse with high action in a fast 

 trot violently strikes this part with the edge of the 

 shoe or hoof. 



SYMPTOMS. This pain is often very great, so that 

 horses have been known to drop like a shot ; there 

 is great heat and tenderness ; more or less swelling 

 and lameness. A bony enlargement is the result of 

 repeated blows.
