Treatment is not warrantable, although iodine is undoubtedly helpful. 

 Where Glanders is suspected from discharges that would 

 indicate internal lesions, or where the condition is shown by external 

 lesion's, as in the case of Farcy, the law requires the mallein test, and if 

 there is temperature re-action to the injection of mallein, the animal must 

 be destroyed, its carcass and all woodwork in contact with the discharges 

 must be burned, and the whole quarters thoroughly disinfected. Nothing 

 is better for the purpose than a thorough washing of the infected quarters 

 with a strong solution of Nox-i-cide Dip and Disinfectant. 



If healthy animals are exposed, they must be injected under the skin 

 with mallein, which serves as a protection. 



GREASE HEEL This disease is very troublesome. It has some similar- 

 ity to Scratches, being an inflammation of the skin of 



the heel, from exposure to cold and wet, or standing in liquid manure, or it 

 may be from general neglect and wrong treatment of an eczema condition 

 of the skin. The condition shows as inflammation in patches, the skin 

 affected has a moist, greasy feel; sometimes there is an ulcerated condition 

 with more or less foul discharge. In addition to this inflammation of the 

 heel there may be a swelling of the leg, resulting in scabby sores. 



Treatment, paint with Conkey's Nox-i-cide Dip and Disinfectant, full 

 ,~t^- sStrength,. -several times, then bathe carefully with a solution 

 x>f, tjji same, using ,2;teaspoonfuls in one pint of water. This will usually 

 c.ure quickly, but if the condition does not improve rapidly, dust on a little 

 ok Cprikey's; Healing. Powder. For internal treatment put the horse on 

 tGptnJcey's -;$to'ck Tonic, mixed with the regular feed. Animals in good 

 bipod are not, liable to this disease; and we advise, as general preventive 

 measure, the use of the special veterinary salt mixture elsewhere recom- 

 mended as a general conditioner; namely, 9 parts common barrel salt, 1 

 part Conkey's Stock Tonic, mixed thoroughly and kept in a dry place, where 

 the horse can help himself as needed. Used in this way, there is no danger 

 of the animal overdosing; he will take it as needed, and by doctoring him- 

 self, save many threatened disorders. 



HALTER This stable vice can be cured as follows: put an old saddle 

 PULLING on the horse; then take about twelve feet of half-inch rope, 

 pass this around the rump under the tail, bring the ends 

 forward through the line rings of the saddle and then through the ring of 

 the halter under the chin and tie the ends of the rope as a halter strap 

 would be tied. 



HARD HOOF Hard or drying hoofs can be easily prevented by regular 

 use of Conkey's Hoof Remedy, used according to simple 

 directions on package. 



HARNESS AND Conkey's Healing Powder prevents and cures. Read 

 COLLAR GALLS treatment under Galls. 



HEAVES This common and troublesome disease is easily known by the 

 quick, labored breathing, sharp, short cough, and the catch in 

 "the flank with each expulsion of the air in breathing. In its first stages 

 the "heaving" and coughing are merely nervous symptoms, and the real 

 trouble is with the digestion. When a horse develops "heaves" usually the 

 feeding system is at fault. Feeding clover hay, feeding inferior or musty 

 or damaged hay, or too much roughage (that is, too much bulky, innutri- 

 tious feed), any of these are liable to cause Heaves. Feed more grain and 

 less hay if your horse inclines to Heaves. Other probable causes are bad
