When used for bruised heels, pare all the dead hard sole 

 from around the bruised parts, thinning the insensitive sole un- 

 til it will spring under the pressure of the thumb. After having 

 done this, saturate white cotton large enough to cover the 

 affected parts, lay over the bruise, and allow it to remain for 

 fifteen or twenty minutes. Put a few drops of the wash on the 

 cotton occasionally, so as to keep it thoroughly saturated. It 

 sometimes happens that the horse strikes his opposite ankle or 

 shin, cutting it, and quite often proud flesh sets up in the 

 wound. If this happens, take white cotton large enough to 

 cover the wound, thoroughly saturate with the wash and lay 

 over the wound. Bandage the leg to hold the cotton in place, 

 and let it remain on the wound for fifteen or twenty minutes.
