These are bruises caused by friction and moisture, occurring 

 most frequently in warm weather ; the parts are rubbed raw,

 Bathe the parts several times a day with one pint of water and 

 half a plat of tincture of myrrh. 



rJLALLANDERS AND SELLENDERS. 



These are scurfy eruptions of the back part of the knee 

 joint and the front part of the hock joint. They sometimes 

 occasion much pain, and lameness in consequence. They con- 

 stitute but one disease, the names having reference to the fore 

 and hind extremities ; mallenders being applied to eruptions 

 upon the fore extremities, and sellenders to those upon the 

 hind ones. 



For treatment, wash the parts well with castile soap and 

 water, and apply the following : lard, four ounces, and Goulard's 

 extract, one ounce, well mixed.
