which the horse warms out of the lame- 

 ness; these cases can positively be cured 

 by lodex applications. Do not at- 

 tempt to cure the lameness caused by 

 spavin in which the horse will not warm 

 out of the lameness; these cases are not 

 only impossible of cure by this means 

 but by other means, excepting neurec- 

 tomy, as well. 



When the case has been selected, the 

 lodex should be applied, not only in 

 the immediate vicinity of the exostosis, 

 ibut entirely around the hock involved. 

 An application should be made every 

 morning and every evening, in the fol- 

 lowing manner : Apply a thin coating 

 of lodex and massage it into the hock 

 for at least five minutes ; then apply an- 

 other very thin coating, allowing this 

 to remain on the surface. The appli- 

 cations must extend over a period of 

 from five to seven weeks — about such 

 a length of time as is required to effect
