(A) SIGNS OF DISEASE; (B) THERAPEUTICS 



The application of hot water can be carried out by wring- 

 ing the water out of a blanket steeped in it. A mustard plaster 

 (paste) is, on the horse, usually applied directly to the skin, 

 being rubbed well in, and then washed off in about half an hour, 

 repeating if needful. Sometimes half the quantity of linseed 

 meal is added. As a fomentation for sprains of tendons, etc., 

 a linen bandage can be dipped in water, then covered over with 

 a flannel one.
