INDIGESTION Sometimes the trouble is with the teeth, which do not 

 perform the first process in digestion. It may be the 



horse is a "bolter" and swallows his feed without proper chewing. Worms 

 are another common cause of symptoms of indigestion. The food may be 

 digested perfectly" but the worms absorb most of it and the horse gets 

 little benefit. The symptoms vary and according to the symptoms we call 

 the disease anaemia (poor blood), colic, diarrhea, dysentery, gastritis, heaves, 

 hide-bound, thin flesh, etc. 



Treatment calls first for a purgative, mild or brisk, as the case may 

 require; then tonic, alterative treatment with Conkey's Stock 

 Tonic mixed with the regular feed as directed. Treat any condition showing 

 rough, dry, unthrifty coat, dejected appearance, grain passed whole, etc., 

 with Conkey's Stock Tonic. As preventative treatment give all animals a 

 course of Stock Tonic occasionally; or use continually the special mixture 

 already suggested as follows: 90 Ibs. common barrel salt, 10 Ibs. Conkey's 

 Stock Tonic, mix thoroughly and place in a dry place, where each animal 

 can help itself. There will then be no danger of any animal taking an 

 overdose; but each will help itself as needed. This is a prime conditioner 

 and one convenient to use, as each animal doctors itself. It can be cheaply 

 mixed at home according to above directions. We guarantee full satisfac- 

 tion with this formula. Try it and compare results with any commercial 

 salt now sold for five to ten times the price. This treatment will cost 

 only a cent a week for each head of live-stock, as a pound of the conditioner 

 will easily last a horse or cow two weeks. 



INFLAMMATION Inflammation of any sort is best treated with Conkey's 

 Pain Lotion, applied liberally as directed. This 



remedy can be used externally, as a dressing or simply rubbed in, or can 

 be sprayed into the mouth, or injected into a deep cut or wound. It is

INFLUENZA PINK Diseases of this nature seem to depend on at- 

 EYE DISTEMPER mospheric influences and may come from any 



OR STRANGLES sudden check to the 



function of the skin or 



kidneys, as from chill, etc. Spring and fall 

 changes in the weather usually bring these 

 troubles; and one animal may infect another. 

 Young animals seem most liable to suffer. One 

 attack is said to make the subject immune; that 

 is many claim if an animal has had the disease 

 once, he will not get it again. It is at least true 

 that the animal once attacked is unlikely to have Strangles 



it again. 



Symptoms Temperature is high and there is a hard, painful swelling under 

 the jaws, between the branches of the jaw-bone. The breathing 

 is much obstructed. This swelling is really an abscess; and as it softens, 

 pus will break out, or it may require lancing. 



Treatment Keep the animal well bedded with clean, dry straw; and keep 

 the box-stall comfortably warm, free from drafts, but with 

 plenty of ventilation. The quarters should be kept in a sanitary condition 

 by the use of a liberal supply of Nox-i-cide solution (one-half pint Conkey's 

 Nox-i-cide Dip and Disinfectant to each gallon of water) to prevent con- 

 tagion. Do not "quick purge," but feed soft laxative foods such as gruels, 

 mashes, steamed oats, grass, roots, especially boiled carrots; also cold
