40 CURINE— The Great 



rhea will mostly disappear after the operation of 

 the oil ceases; but should the purging continue, it 

 can be easily checked by giving buckwheat or wheat 

 flour in water; or two ounces of laudanum; or two 

 ounces of paregoric three times a day. Afterwards 

 feed a laxative diet for a few days. 



TOE AND QUARTPJR CRACKS. 



Toe cracks nearly always affect the hind feet, 

 while quarter cracks are most common in the 

 fore feet, and appear on the lateral parts of the 

 wall. Toe cracks may appear on any part of the 

 wall, but ordinarily they are seen directly in front. 

 They may involve only the outer portion of the 

 wall, or they may be deep and involve the whole 

 wall and tissues beneath. 



CAUSE. — Heavy shoes with nails set too far back 

 toward the heel, fast work on hard track or road 

 that is dry; excessive dryness of the hoof; bruises 

 and calk wounds are also causes of quarter cracks. 



SYMPTOMS.— The fissure of the horn is very often 

 the only evidence of the disease, and this is some- 

 times hidden by the long hair on the coronet, or 

 it may be filled in with putty, wax or mud. They 

 sometimes commence on the inside of the wall and 

 leave a very thin layer on the outside surface.

Gentlemen:— Your Curine is the best absorbent 

 I ever used. Within the last two months I removed 

 two very bad Curbs, one Splint, cured the worst 

 set of tendons I ever saw, and is having magic 

 effect on a horse that has a severe case of Navicu- 

 lar Disease. In the last mentioned case I have only 

 been using it two weeks, but I expect a permanent 

 cure. Enclosed find a check for one-half dozen 

 more bottles. Yours truly, 



PJX-SENATOR A. F. THOMPSON.
