fectant. Use an ordinary hose and funnel. This will get rid of the worms 

 in the rectum, but as the horse will probably have other stomach and intes- 

 tinal parasites, treat with Conkey's Worm Remedy. 



PINK EYE Compare treatment under Influenza, Pinkeye, Distemper or 

 Strangles. 



PNEUMONIA OR Neglected colds easily run into pneumonia. There 



LUNG FEVER is high fever, difficult breathing, short, painful cough, 



and the eyes are highly injected (the blood-vessels 



standing out prominently on the eye-ball, and changing from red to a purple- 

 gray color). The animal stands in a listless manner, with countenance dis- 

 tressed. When the ear is placed to the chest a dry-rubbing sound is heard. 



Treatment Put the sick horse in comfortable quarters, if possible a box 

 stall. Have plenty of fresh air but no draft, and blanket if 

 the weather is at all cold. There will be little appetite, but put the animal 

 on such sick diet as mashes, cooked roots, moistened hay, etc., mixing Con- 

 key's Stock Tonic with the feed as directed. The animal's strength must 

 be kept up and the Stock Tonic will increase the appetite, in addition to 

 having tonic effect. It will also insure digestion of the food taken, and 

 will keep the system open. If the animal will not eat, give eggs and milk to 

 tempt the appetite. Rub the throat and chest with Conkey's Pain Lotion. 

 Rub the legs until they are warm, using Conkey's Warming Liniment, 

 rubbing in a little dry mustard to produce warmth, then bandage over 

 with woolen bandages. These will need to be taken off once or twice a 

 day and the legs hand-rubbed before replacing them. Do not rub the 

 chest with powerful blisters, but if hot applications are needed you can 

 use mustard paste, putting it on the chest and also around back of the 

 shoulder blades and down to the middle of the body, below the chest. 

 Go lightly over the thin skin back of the elbow. Wash this paste off in half 

 an hour. Keep the horse blanketed. Inhalation treatment with a pail of 

 steaming water, or a nose bag, will be useful. You can use Conkey's Pain 

 Lotion, Conkey's Pi-no or Conkey's Nox-i-cide Dip and Disinfectant for 

 steaming the nostrils, all of which are powerful disinfectants and germicides. 

 Directions for use of each on the package. 



POLL EVIL This is a painful swelling on top of the head, i. e., the poll, 

 which may come from a blow or bruise from low doorways, 

 or from beams which the horse strikes when tossing its head, or from 

 pressure of tight over-drawn checks. Poll evil is in reality an abscess on 

 the top of the head, and is liable to be serious because of its location at a 

 high point, since the abscess will tend to deepen and burrow, and also 

 because of the important bloodvessels at that part which may be injured 

 in ordinary treatment. 



Treatment Poll Evil is easy to cure if treated when it first appears, about 

 all that is necessary being to give hot or cold applications to 

 prevent the formation of pus, using a solution of Nox-i-cide Dip and Disin- 

 fectant (1 tablespoonful to 1 quart of hot or cold water). The horse should 

 be watched as to diet, and limited to laxative, non-heating feeds. 



However, most cases are not treated until the swelling has spread and 

 pus is formed and commencing to burrow. The longer neglected, the 

 deeper the abscess works, getting down beneath the muscles, in time affect- 

 ing the bones. To treat, get Conkey's Poll Evil Remedy. Make two open- 

 ings in the swelling, one at the bottom to drain out the pus, the other at
