DISEASES OF HORSES 87 



Prevention is the best treatment, as follows: During July, August and 

 September examine the horse on pasture every three or four 

 days and if the eggs are found clip them off or rub off, using a cloth or 

 brush dipped in Nox-i-cide solution, two teaspoonfuls to one pint of water. 

 Spraying the horse regularly, with Conkey's Fly Knocker will prevent the 

 fly or "bee" from alighting. 



BRONCHITIS This disease is sometimes the effect of damp, badly ven- 

 tilated stables, or it may follow an attack of influenza. 

 Any irritating substance in the air, dust or smoke, may cause it. Look 

 about for the cause and correct it. 



Symptoms are rapid breathing, with rattling in the windpipe, especially 

 in the chest; deep cough, which grows looser. There is more 

 or less fever and high pulse, although these symptoms subside as the con- 

 dition becomes chionic. 



Treatment First relieve the symptoms by covering 

 with a hot blanket and rub the sides of 

 the chest with Conkey's Warming Liniment; or you 

 can use mustard paste made up with vinegar. Give 

 this rubbing twice a day. A wet p.ack about the 

 chest is also good, but care must be taken not to 

 / let the horse get chilled in any way. Make the 

 animal inhale steam from a pail of boiling water to 

 which has been added 2 tablespoonfuls of Conkey's 

 Pain Lotion or instead of a pail you can use the nose 

 bag. Of course, the patient should be in a dry, well- 

 ventilated box-stall, the temperature kept at about 

 65 degrees Fahrenheit as nearly as possible. For in- 

 Steaming the nostrils ternal treatment, give Conkey's Distemper and 

 Fever Remedy, 1 tablet 3 times a day as 

 directed. The animal should be on sick diet, such 



as bran mash, roots, grass, etc., which will have a laxative effect. As soon 

 as the horse is on regular feed, Conkey's Stock Tonic should be mixed with 

 the feed according to directions. This will keep the system open, and also 

 build up the strength, toning and invigorating the body, so as to bring 

 the patient back to normal good health. 



BRUISED OR If there is merely a breaking of the skin put on a 



BROKEN KNEE compress, and keep the part saturated all the time with 



Conkey's Pain Lotion until all inflammation is gone. 



keeping the horse's head tied up so that he can not lie down on the injured 

 part before it heals. If there is no inflammation, simply a cut, dust the place 

 with Conkey's Healing Powder, which will heal over quickly. If the cut 

 is deep, clip the hair and wash the part with Nox-i-cide Dip and Disinfectant 

 using a 1 per cent, solution, that is 1 teaspoonful to 1 pint of water; 

 dry thoroughly, then dress with Pain Lotion and bandage. Repeat this 

 dressing once a day, with pressure, where bandage can be applied. In a 

 bad case, use splints. If the part gets very hot or swells, pus is forming, 

 and the bandage should come off and this matter be drained off at once, 

 and the wound irrigated with antiseptic solution, 1 teaspoonful Nox-i-cide 

 to 1 pint of water; then dry thoroughly, dress with Pain Lotion and ban- 

 dage. Dress daily until there is no more discharge. When the
