164 PRICK IN THE FOOT. 



TREATMENT. If the quiitor arises from a wound 

 of the sole or prick, after the wounded part has been 

 pared out and poulticed as directed in the article for 

 prick in the foot, then with a probe gently find out 

 the direction and number of pipes, and with a fine 

 syringe, inject THE MARVEL of full strength, into the 

 opening, two or three times per day. Change the 

 poultice night and morning until no more matter 

 flows, and the quittor begins to heal. 



When it arises from a corn in the heel, and mat- 

 ter has got into the coronet, the- swelling must be 

 cut into and the discharge let out ; then poultice 

 night and morning, inject the MARVEL as before, 

 rasp down the wall of the hoof until it yields to the 

 pressure of the thumb, and put on a bar-shoe. Roll 

 a bandage around the coronet to keep the dirt out 

 from the quittor. 



If there is some considerable heat and fever, the 

 FEVER SPECIFIC, A A, may come in play, giving fif- 

 teen drops four times per day. But the SPECIFIC for 

 ULCERS, I I, should be given, fifteen drops three 

 times per day, at first, and then morning and night 

 until the quittor is healed.

 torn off, and the loosened nail be thrust into the
