HIP- LAMENESS. 



Hip disease or lameness is similar in its causes 

 and results to that of shoulder lameness, and is 

 mostly caused by a sprain which may be brought 

 about by overexertion, slipping, etc. It will, of 

 course, manifest itself by signs and appearances 

 and is more marked when the bones are diseased 

 than when the muscles are affected. In examining 

 for hip joint disease, the lame side will be found 

 to be fuller, more developed and warmer. Grasp 

 the foot and produce a passive motion, and when 

 the foot is dropped to the grolind it will produce 

 pain. If the animal is moved along at a fair gait 

 the trouble will also be noticeable. 



TREATMENT.— Give the horse rest and paint 

 with Dr. Turnbull's CURIXE over the affected part 

 twice a day for one week, or until a cure is effected. 

 In hip lameness the CURIXE can be used more 

 freely as the seat of the lameness is very deep. 



SCOURS— DIARRHEA. 



Horses that have long legs, and long and flat 

 bodies, are more subject to diarrhea than those of 

 a blocky build, and more especially if fed and wa- 

 tered immediately before driving, although any ani- 

 mal is liable to scours from many different causes, 

 such as an inflammatory condition of the intestinal 

 canal or its annexed organs; or it may be due from 

 eating musty food, bad condition of the teeth, im- 

 pure water, etc. 



TREATMEXT.— The first thing to look after is 

 the kind of water and food he has been getting, and 

 if either of these are at fault discontinue them at 

 once. If it results from some irritant in the intes- 

 tines, give a pint of raw linseed oil and the diar- 



When you ask your dealer for Dr. Turnbull's 

 CURIXE, see that you get the genuine. The 

 signature of W. A. W. Turnbull, V. M. D.. 

 will be found upon the wrapper on every 

 bottle of CURINE.
