fever. The local manifestation is on one of the 

 hind-legs, generally the left, or in rare instances, a 

 fore leg may be affected. The leg is lifted from the 

 ground, is hot and painful to the touch, and swells 

 from above downward. The swelling increases- rapid-

 the pain increases, and the leg is very sensitive to 

 the touch. Several hard, round, and very painful 

 cord-like swellings may be felt on the inside of the 

 leg; these end in small hardish lumps, and are more 

 painful than the cords. A watery fluid exudes from 

 the skin, and may be seen in drops standing upon 

 the hair. 



TREATMENT. At the commencement foment the 

 limb for an hour, night and morning, with hot water, 

 and afterward apply THE MARVEL freely. The 

 horse should have plenty of exercise, and in most 

 cases may be ordered to his work, continuing the 

 medicine as hereinafter directed. Give three times 

 per day fifteen drops of the FEVER SPECIFIC, A A. 

 After a few days, the SPECIFIC for INDIGESTION, J J, 

 may be alternated with the former with advantage. 

 But in general the FEVER SPECIFIC, A A, will be en- 

 tirely sufficient.

 or black and blue spots appear on the surface, and 

 upon the mucous membrane wherever it can be seen,
