If a liniment be preferred then use this

Pure Carbolic Acid i drachm 



Oil of Eucalyptus i drachm

Very little can be done once the disease is 

 established, and veterinary surgeons usually

 particularly prevalent amongst foals living on 

 farms in fen land districts. The best treat- 

 ment comprises a full dose of castor oil, 

 say, two or three ounces, in conjunction with 

 a drachm of laudanum; or chlorodyne in half- 

 drachm doses. As soon as this has had suffi- 

 cient time to act, follow it up with the mixture
