STINGS or BEES, HOBNETS, &o. 69 



Strain of the tendons of the leg or of the envelop- 

 ing sheath, is generally attended with excessive 

 lameness and inflammation of the part, and the 

 point of suffering is readily discovered. 



TREATMENT. In all cases bathe the part witH the 

 MARVEL or with ARNICA when the MARVEL is not to

 Specific for INJURIES, B B, according to the urgency

 night is sufficient \ for more recent or fresh strains, 

 a dose four times per day, until the more urgent 

 symptoms are relieved.

 dons, it is important to take the strain off the injured 

 limb, and for this purpose a high shoe is best. 

 Rivet two horse-shoes together two or three inches 

 apart, the lower one the smallest, so as not to inter-

Sometimes where a horse has been tied near a 

 swarm of bees, if sweaty or otherwise offensive to
