horses are more subject to this disease than coun- 

 try 'horses, owing to them remaining in filthy 

 stables. 



CAUSES.— Animals standing in filthy stalls; sud- 

 den changes of dryness to excessive moisture. 

 Hard driving on rough roads may also induce this 

 disease. 



SYMPTOMS.— An offensive smell in the cleft of 

 the frog; later a watery discharge, changing to a 

 mattery substance, and as the case becomes older, 

 lameness may be noticed, 



TREATMENT.— Keep the stall clean. Cut the 

 diseased portion of the horn away, clean the cleft 

 of the frog thoroughly, then saturate the cleft and 

 grooves well with CITRINE and dress with roller 

 bandage or leather boot to keep the dirt out. Re- 

 peat once daily for one week. Keep the boot or 

 bandage on for another week and if a cure is not 

 effected, repeat for another week. 



SCRATCHES— CRACKED HEELS. 



This usually starts with heat and swelling in the 

 hollow of the heel, with stiffness and lameness in 

 many cases; slight cracks with a tendency to en- 

 large soon appear. It maj'' extend from the back 

 of the knee, or hock, to the hoof. 



CAUSES.— Imperfect nourishment, cold draughts, 

 snow, and freezing mud, hot and dirty stables, 

 overfeeding on grain, washing the legs and failing 

 to thoroughly dry them, or wrapping the legs in 



THE OWNER OF CORPORAL, 2:12V2. 



Columbus, Neb., April 28, 1897.

Gentlemen:— During the spring meeting at Den- 

 ver in 1896 my horse, the Corporal, went lame in a 

 race. I tried everything last summer to cure him, 

 but with no success. During this spring I bought a 

 bottle of Curine, and in ten days he was working 

 as sound as a dollar. Yours truly, 



C, E. MORSE.
