part, leaving the sediment, or filter through filter paper, or just 

 strain it through a good, heavy piece of muslin. In some very 

 bad sores it may occasionally be applied stronger than this 

 even twice as strong in rare cases. 



Carbolic Lotion. This lotion is more extensively used 

 than the white lotion for an antiseptic, and hence is almost 

 always used during and soon after a surgical operation or after 

 a fresh wound. It is also used for the same purposes as the 

 white lotion, but it has not the property of drying up discharges 

 from sores that the white lotion has. The carbolic lotion 'is 

 made as follows : 



Take Carbolic Acid, pure, ...... 1 rlram. 



Water, ........ 5 ounces. 



Mix well and filter. This, like the white lotion, can in some 

 cases, as in old sores where there is a very stinking discharge, 

 be used stronger than as given in the formula. Carbolic acid is 

 one of the best of medicines to destroy bad smells about old 

 sores, and for this purpose may be used on poultices, etc. 



Ammoniacal Liniment. This liniment is extensively 

 used as a stimulant or counter-irritant in sore throat, bronchitis 

 rheumatism, and chronic joint diseases. It is made of 



Aqua Ammonia, ....... 2 ounces. 



Turpentine, ........ 2 ounces. 



Flaxseed Oil, ........ 2 ounces. 



Or any oil may be used instead of the flaxseed oil. Mix, shake 

 well, and it is ready for use. When made by this formula it 

 will blister some horses, while others are not at all affected. 

 Hence its strength must be varied by using more or less oil to 

 meet such cases as are spoken of under " Blistering." 



Black-leg Quarter-ill Black-quarter. This disease 

 usually attacks young cattle under two years old, and often proves 

 suddenly fatal. This disease, and nlso its treatment, are essen- 

 tially the same as Texas Fever, the only difference being in the 

 manifestation of the symptoms and its only attacking young ani- 

 mals. The treatment of either is considered a preventive to a 

 a certain extent. See Texas Fever, page 918.
