water. If any part of tlie wart remains, renew the application, 

 taking care to keep it off the ulcerated surface left by the sloughing 

 out of the wart, 



WINDGALLS. 



No. 1. — Apply persistent pressure for six or seven weeks, by means 

 of two pads attached to the inside of a strap, and so arranged as to 

 impinge directly on each enlargement. 



No. 2. — Muriate of ammonia, loz.; muriatic acid, -^oz. ; water, 

 1 quart. Mix in warm water (boiling is better), and let it stand 

 until cold. Keep your horse's legs bandaged, and well wet with the 

 lotion. If taken in time this will effect a cure ; if neglected, the 

 only application likely to be of service is blistering, and this seldom 

 effects a cure unless assisted by rest. Windgalls are invariably the 

 consequence of hard work. 



No. 3. — Apply bandages dipped in a saturated solution of alum with 

 2oz. of sal ammoniac added to each gallon. This should be kept in a 

 cold place, or if it is dissolved as wanted it will be better. The 

 pressure and cold together produce considerable absorption, but 

 they do not eradicate the enlargement, which returns on discontinu- 

 ing the remedy. 



No. 4. — Upon a moistened piece of rag place a piece of cork, big 

 enough to cover the windgall, or of such thickness as may be neces- 

 sar}'-. Above the cork lace on a vulcanised india-rubber bandage. 

 Constant and equal pressure will by these means be kept up. 



WORMS. 



All hard, indigestible food should be carefully avoided ; beans 

 should be withheld, but oats, with a little bran and chaff, carrots, or 

 green food, with occasional bran and linseed mashes may be given. 

 Exercise is important, and should be regulated according to the 

 strength of the animal ; the surface of the skin should be regularly 

 stimulated by friction, and avoid exposure to cold and wet. 



No, 1. — Administer daily for three weeks to each horse a ball 

 containing ^dr. of the iodide of iron. 



No. 2. — Give "l^dr. of calomel in a small mash at night, and the 

 next morning a common aloetic ball. 



No, 3. — Sprinkle over a feed of corn nightly for a month ^oz. of 

 liquor arsenicalis. 



No. 4. — For a horse give 2dr. of tartar emetic for three or four 

 mornings, followed by a dose of physic. This is an effectual 

 vermifuge. 



No. 5. — Some prefer 8dr. of sulphur.
