94 CONKEY'S STOCK BOOK 



Acute indigestion requires, as the first active treatment, a purge. For 

 horses, use raw linseed oil, and not castor oil; as castor oil is now under 

 suspicion of modern veterinarians as being injurious to horses. It may be 

 used safely with all other animals. In all cases see if the teeth need atten- 

 tion. 



DISINFECTING The horse is the most sensitive of animals; and he is 

 DEODORIZING especially liable to infection from contaminated sur- 

 roundings. A horse responds very quickly to any 



medical treatment; but of itself has comparatively little resistance to disease, 

 whereas most animals have a great deal of resistance. Prevention is the 

 safe, cheap method; and to disinfect regularly and thoroughly is one of 

 the surest ways of keeping free from disease. Conkey's Nox-i-cide Dip and 

 Disinfectant, which mixes with water, makes a highly satisfactory general 

 disinfectant, deodorizer and germ-killer, cheap enough to be used liberally. 

 You can ward off many threatening diseases if you attack them at the germ 

 stage. You never know just where the danger may be lurking, and the 

 only safe way is to disinfect thoroughly and frequently, going over walls, 

 floors, etc., as elsewhere described. A good way to use Conkey's Nox-i-cide 

 Dip and Disinfectant is right in the scrub pail or wash water. A half cupful 

 to the pail makes cheap disinfectant solution. Nox-i-cide Dip and Disinfect- 

 ant is handy for many emergencies. In case of cuts, wounds, etc., you 

 must treat with an antiseptic first, and often with this attention the trouble 

 will right itself without further treatment. Keep Conkey's Nox-i-cide Dip 

 and Disinfectant ready for use, and use it. You don't have to be too careful, 

 since it mixes with water and is cheap. Every drop of it is effective. Get 

 Nox-i-cide Dip and Disinfectant and keep it handy, ready for instant use. 

 Point it out to the new stableman, so he will know just where to find it. 



DISLOCATION After the bones have been replaced, apply freely Con- 

 key's Pain Lotion. This will ease the suffering and 

 take out any inflammation. 



DISTEMPER See Influenza, Pink Eye, Distemper or Strangles. 



ECZEMA Thorough grooming and cleansing of the skin is one 



SADDLE MANGE of the best precautions against these disorders of 



the skin. Common soap sometimes causes the 



trouble. Exposure to constant rain is another cause. The use of Conkey's 

 Pino in the grooming will often be the only treatment necessary, as it is 

 an antiseptic and stimulating application. See directions for mixing with 

 water. In the scabby, scaly form the parts should be well soaked over 

 night in olive oil or Conkey's Pain Lotion, then washed with pure soap and 

 water. Use same treatment for the suppurating forms of this disease, 

 usually seen about the mane and tail. With these the hair should be clipped 

 first, so as to get direct application. Any sores or chafed surfaces on the 

 body will quickly heal over when dusted with Conkey's Healing Powder. 

 Healing Powder should always be used under saddles, collars, etc., to pre- 

 vent galling and chafing. 



EYES Inflammation and temporary disorders of the eye should be 

 treated with Conkey's Eye Remedy sprayed or annointed by 

 means of a clean feather, a camel's hair brush or piece of sterile cotton. 

 Exclude light from the eyes as far as possible during the attack, if necessary 

 hanging a dark cloth over the head. Sometimes there are parasites in the 

 eye (Filaria Papillosa) which show as floating threads in the aqueous humor 

 of the anterior chamber of the eye, which can be removed by a surgical
