A curb is an "unsoundness,", as the hock thus af- 

 fected is less liable to endure severe labor. 



TREATMENT.— On the first appearance of a curb 

 subdue the Inflammation by the use of hot fomen- 

 tations, then paint with Dr. Turnbull's CURINE 

 over the affected part, twice a day for one week; 

 wash every other day with -vrarm water and soap, 

 and when dry apply CURINE. In curbs of lorig 

 standing- it may be neceseary to repeat the treat- 

 ment for a couple of weeks. 



SPLINTS. 



A splint is a certain bony enlargement which is 

 developed on the cannon bone between the knee 

 or hock and the fetlock joint and are usually found 

 on the inside of the leg. They vary in size from 

 that of a large nut to merely nothing, and in 

 searching for them they may be easily detected by 

 the hand, but must be distinguished from a small 

 enlargement at the lower third of the cannon bone, 

 which is no splint, but merely a normal develop- 

 ment of the small cannon bone. A splint may fre- 

 quently cause lameness, and when near the knee- 

 joint the lameness is more apt to become aggra- 

 vated. 



CAUSES.— Splints ar© mostly caused by external 

 hurts, such as blows or collisions, or in speeding he 

 may strike the inside of his leg with his opposite 

 foot and thus start the growth; or too much ex- 

 cessive strain or labor upon a young animal at a 

 too early period in his life. 



THE BEST REMEDY. 



Elyria Stock Farm, Elyria, O., Oct. 23, 1895. 



Gentlemen:— I have been using your Curlne, and 

 am pleased to say it is the best remedy for Splints, 

 Curbs, Ringbones, etc., that I have ever used, and 

 I think no stable complete without it.
