hot and tender. Many a horse has been ruined 

 by this absurd treatment, when the heat and 

 tenderness have disappeared by the use of cold 

 lotions or fomentations. When the leg or 

 sprained part remains enlarged long or matter 

 threatens to be deposited, it may be right to 

 excite inflammation of the skin by a blister, in 

 order to rouse the deeper seated absorbants to 

 action and enable them to take up this deposit; 

 but, except to hasten the natural process and 

 effects of inflammation, a blister or stimulating 

 application should never be applied to a part 

 already inflamed.
