42 CURINE— The Great 



communicated to the human race. Horned cattle 

 are about the only class of animals exempt from 

 this disease. Glanders is characterized by the for- 

 mation of tubercles which degenerate into ulcers 

 from which exudes a discharge that contains virus, 

 and, if inoculated, will destroy the entire system. 



TREATMENT. — So far as medicine is concerned, 

 there is no drug that would be of any benefit to 

 this disease. We would advise that the owner on 

 first suspicion of glanders, destroy the animal im-

 in contact should be disinfected at once. The laws 

 of the different states are very stringent in regard 

 to animals being affected with glanders, and should 

 the owner try to hide the presence of the disease 

 he should be punished to the full extent of the law. 



SPRAINS OF THE LOINS. 



This affection is difficult to distinguish from many 

 similar cases. The muscles of the back and loin

SYMPTOMS.— If the animal yields or shrinks 

 from pressure or pinching on the back near the 

 loin, he is pronounced by many as having kidney 

 trouble or sprained in the loins. This is mostly an 

 error, as the majority of horses, and especially 

 high-bred animals, will yield from a slight pressure 

 when in the best of health. If the back or loins

Gentlemen:— I have removed three -Ringbones 

 from a 3-year-old colt, one of which was an ex- 

 tremely large and hard one; also a bad Curb from 

 a 3-year-old pacing colt, and some very bad Wind 

 Puffs from my 5-year-old pacing gelding, record 

 2:261/4, and he can beat 2:15. He is now as sound 

 as a new milled dollar, since I have used your Cur- 

 ine on him. Yours truly,
