These medicines will have to he continued for a long time, not 

 only to cure the disease, but to improve tlie health. The horse 

 must be well and highly fed, and removed from other horses while 

 tlie treatment is going on. Change the feed often, so as to get all 

 the elements that the blood requires, and to keep up the appetite, 

 for if the appetite fails, no cure can be made. 



Remember. Glanders associated with tubercles of the lungs,

Gleet — (iVa.saZ.) This term is used to denote a thin, trans-

Gravel in the Foot. — This name conveys an impression that 

 sand or gravel has got into the foot, which is often the case from 

 cracks or other openings in the foot, whether from above or below. 

 Wash out the sand, if possible ; if not, remove some of the

 applied hot, and smoothed over by the hand previously wet, so
