TEEATMENT FOE RINGBONE OB CLING-FAST 



Apply Save-the-Horse as directed on the bottle. 



When from previous treatments with blisters and firing or 

 from any cause the growth has become tough and hard, apply 

 Save-the-Horse once or twice each day from six to eight days 

 before alternating with ointment. 



When Save-the-Horse begins to take hold, gradually lessen 

 the number of applications until treatment is made in accord- 

 ance with the directions on the bottle. 



In addition to applying Save-the-Horse thoroughly over and 

 around the enlargement, also make a few alternate treatments 

 entirely around the coronary band at top of hoof ; this will assist 

 in stimulating circulation, to expand and produce a healthy con- 

 dition of the foot and also prove helpful on the parts above. 



In conjunction with Save-the-Horse in treating Ring-bones, 

 much can be accomplished by proper fitting and shoeing of the 

 affected foot. The foot should be pared level and at such an 

 angle that the fine lines seen en the foot running from the coro- 

 net to the ground are parallel with the long axis of the pastern 

 bone, that is if a straight edge be laid along one of these lines 

 of the foot and allowed to extend above the foot it would have 

 exactly the same slant as the pastern bone. 



It will usually be possible to get this angle and still use a flat 

 shoe thin at the heel. But if the heel of the foot is so low that 

 the proper angle cannot be made without it, then the shoe heel 

 must be thickened. 



If conditions necessitate calks let them be low and conform 

 to the above described angle. 



Although the shoeing is of importance and will aid materially, 

 it is secondary to Save-the-Horse and therefore a close adherence 

 to directions for applying Save-the-Horse is of first importance. 



TREATMENT FOR SIDE-BONE 



Save-the-Horse, applied as directed on bottle over and around 

 the Side-bone, acts to relieve soreness and inflammation, t« pro- 

 mote new growth of tissues and to absorb the calcarious deposit. 

 It should also be applied completely around the top of the foot 

 at coronet, i. e., one-half inch above to one-half inch below at 

 the junction of hair and hoof. 



For Save-the-Horse to get in its quickest work the foot should 

 be kept soft and moist. This can be accomplished in no way 

 better than with a sack (burlap is good) wrapped about the foot 

 and pastern and soaked with cold water and left over night ; or a 

 felt soaking boot may be ustd. 



Sometimes but one side of the foot is affected and thia most
