FRENCH PASTE FOR BONE SPAVIN. 



Corrosive sublimate, quicksilver, and iodine, 

 of each i oz., with sufficient lard to form a paste. 

 Rub the quicksilver and iodine together, and 

 add the sublimate, and finally add the lard, 

 rubbing thoroughly. Shave off the hair the 

 size of the bone enlargement, then grease all 

 around it, but not where the bone is shaved off. 

 This prevents the action of the medicine only 

 upon the spavin ; rub in as much of the paste as 

 will lie on a five cent piece, each morning for 

 four mornings only, and in from six to eight 

 days the spavin will come out ; then wash out 

 the wound with suds, soaking well for an hour or 

 two, which removes the poisonous effects of the 

 medicine, and facilitates the healing, which can 

 be done by any healing salve. I prefer the horse 

 ointment to any other.
