Sprained 

 Ligament 



Repeat this treatment daily. 



The bandage treatment is not necessary to accomplish the de- 

 sired results, but is a saving of time and the preparation. 



Many valuable horses have been prepared, trained and raced 

 by following this method, when all other means failed. 



Massaging or hand rubbing may be done right along unless 

 as sometimes happens, it causes swelling and fever, then it should 

 be immediately discontinued. 



TREATMENT FOR BOWED TENDON 



Follow the treatment given for sprain of 

 suspensory ligaments. For a mild condi- 

 tion apply Save-the-Horse as directed for 

 filled tendon.

 dergoing preparation or racing.
