26 CURINE-The Great 



TREATMENT.— As soon as the splint is located, 

 paint with CURINE twice daily for one week. If 

 of long standing it will have become almost as hard 

 as bone and you will probably have to keep the 

 treatment up for two or three weeks. 



SORES— SUMMER SORES. 



These sores are small at first and may appear at 

 any point, but they are more likely to appear on 

 the legs or where the harness presses on the body. 

 These sores contain parasites and cause intense 

 itching, and the victim rubs and bites them until 

 extensive raw surfaces are produced. 



TREATMENT. — Place in a cool place and sponge 

 very carefully with cold water; then, in order to 

 remove the pus and kill the parasite, paint with 

 CURINE and then cover the surface of the wound 

 by dusting it with iodoform. Repeat once a day 

 for two weeks or until the sore heals up, as these 

 wounds are very obstinate and often require months 

 to heal. 



RUPTURE OF THE SUSPENSORY LIGAMENT. 



Sprain, with or without rupture, of the suspensory 

 ligament, may happen in any leg. Old animals and 

 especially trotters, paces and runners, are the most 

 subject to this injury, and +he trouble is nearly 

 always in one, or both, fore legs. Horses used for 

 heavy draught are more liable to have the hind leg 

 affected. One, or both, of the branches may be 

 torn from their attachment to the sesamoid bones; 

 or the ligament may rupture above the point of 

 division. 



TREATMENT.— No matter how mild the sprain 

 of the suspensory ligament may be, it should al- 

 ways be treated with enforced rest for a jnonth. 

 Bathe thoroughly at once with cold water, and 

 apply cold water bandages until the fever has sub- 

 sided, then paint with CURINE twice a day for
