TREATMENT FOR BONE SPAVIN 



Ciit the hair over all the affected part. - 



Before making the first two or three treatments with Save- 

 The-Horse, rub the parts briskly up and down with a good stiff 

 bnish, or with the hand for five or ten minutes. This is not ab- 

 solutely necessary but the friction will open up the pores so that 

 Save-The-Horse will work in more quickly. 



Apply Save-the-Horse thoroughly once each day for five days, 

 using the brush which accompanies the bottle. Then apply Save- 

 the-Horse Ointment once each day for four days. Repeat this 

 alternate treatment — first, five days with Save-the-Horse, then 

 four days with the ointment — until all lameness disappears. 



Special Suggestions 



Usually on bringing the horse in from work or exercise, at 

 the end of the day is the most practicable time to make the treat- 

 ment ; but any time of day most convenient to the user will do so 

 long as it is done regularly. 



From seven to ten brushfuls of Save-the-Horse usually cover 

 the affected area in one treatment, but should it require more 

 apply it ; put on all the parts will absorb, but no more — do not 

 let the remedy run down and waste. 



Thoroughly work in the remedy by manipulating the brush 

 over and around the enlargement. 



^ Each day before applying the ointment, and the first day 

 (only) before applying Save-the-Horse, cleanse off the scurf and 

 grease with hot water and soap, otherwise the grease will cake 

 over so that Save-the-Horse will run off and not take hold. 

 After washing let the parts dry before applying Save-the-Horse. 



Unless there is dirt in the parts do not wash while applying 

 Save-the-Horse. 



Lard may be substituted for Save-the-Horse Ointment, hut 

 this ointment is especially desirable as it assists in hastening ab- 

 sorption and to lessen the skin irritation. 



Rub on a little ointment or lard below where application of 

 Save-the-Horse is made so as to confine Save-the-Horse to the 

 affected parts. 



SHOEING : The foot should be pared level and the toe lowered from 

 the bottom all that ia possible without cutting through tlie sole at this 

 point. If a toe calk is used it should be long and very low, the heel 

 calks should be % to 1 inch higlier than the toe. ' 



Tlie shoe ought to be nnet every three weeks if possible to keep the foot 

 in tlie above described shape. 



While shoeing affords an important advantage that should not be neg- 

 lected, the most essential thing is a well directed and persistent effort to 

 eliminate the aggravating causes of the inflammatory conditjon. Save-the* 

 Hofl«« should b^ veguiauy aiui faithfully applied.
