 " sweeny," — paresis of the supra and infra- 

 spinatus muscles of the shoulder,— various 

 eye diseases, etc., have disappeared with- 

 out medication of any kind, under this 

 method, and during last winter (i892-'93), 

 the coldest winter we have had for years, 

 out of a dozen horses so kept, not one had 

 a cough or cold, or suffered from sickness 

 in any way, although I frequently saw, 

 on very cold days, the nostrils covered 

 with frost from the congealed vapor of the 

 breath. No horse was blanketed, and no 

 horse shivered.
