l60 HOW TO EDUCATE HORSES. 



bone treatment, as I have utterly failed in five out of 

 six cases with firing, blistering, and worse than non- 

 sense generally. 



The time perhaps will come when some person will 

 discover some yet unknown remedy that will effect a 

 cure. What a fortune lies in store for the man who 

 can cure and repeat to the entire satisfaction of every 

 horse owner! 



THRUSH. 



The cause and symptoms of thrush are usually well 

 known, yet I will describe them as follows: First, 

 fever in feet, bad stable and management, wet bed- 

 ding, etc., etc. 



Treatment. — Cleanse well the parts affected with 

 Castile soap and water; open the crevices and apply 

 chloride of zinc thoroughly, or crystallized carbolic 

 acid; repeat every day until relieved; cleanse well 

 each time before an application is made. Keep the 

 horse's feet on dry floor. Dilute with soft water one 

 ounce of either the zinc or the acid, when it is fit for 

 use. 



TO DRY UP OLD SORES. 



Quarter pound dry white lead; dust on the places 

 twice a day. Horses can be worked all the time. 

 This is simple and good. 



FOR EYE WASH. 



Two drachms sugar-lead, one-half ounce laudanum, 

 one pint rain water. Bathe the eye above and in the 

 sockets, twice a day. 



TO STOP BLOOD. 



One drachm of lunar caustic, four ounces rain water; 

 dissolve and apply to the place affected.
