CORROSIVE SUBLIMATE is used in washes for mange and 

 lice, and a horse may lick it off his skin when symptoms similar 

 to those of arsenic, though far milder, will ensue. If the poison 

 has quite recently been swallowed, give at once the whites of 12 

 eggs mixed together ; if too late for this, treat as for arsenic, and 

 the horse will probably recover. 



LEAD POISONING, from causes abovementioned, is slow in 

 its action compared with other poisons, and its symptoms are 

 capricious appetite, loss of condition, a peculiar blue line in the 

 gums above each tooth, and sometimes convulsive fits. Give a 

 good purge and clysters to start with to clear out the inside, fol- 

 lowed by alteratives and tonics.
