DISEASES OF HORSES 109 



with Conkey's Fever Remedy (under Influenza, Pinkeye, Distemper or 

 Strangles). 



Treatment is not successful except in early stages, when we advise 

 for Roaring Conkey's Horse Tonic once a day, and for external treatment 

 applications of Conkey's Absorbent, painted over the throat 

 from ear to ear, repeated according to directions until four applications 

 have been made. Do not feed any clover hay or any musty, badly cured 

 fodder. 



SCALDS Burns or scalds from hot water are usually inexcusable and 

 due to cruel carelessness in giving hot water applications. Treat 

 with Conkey's Nox-i-cide Dip and Disinfectant solution, 1 teaspoonful to 

 1 pint of warm water, to draw out the smart and sting, then apply immedi- 

 ately Conkey's Pain Lotion. Dust the part thickly with flour or starch and 

 cover with cotton wool. 



SCRATCHES This is a diseased, inflamed condition of the skin of the 

 fetlock. It is similar to Cracked Heel, and if neglected 

 will run into Grease Heel for which see special treatments. It may be due 

 to blood condition, and is very common in spring, but often follows neglect 

 to clean off mud and dirt, after the horse has been working in sloppy 

 weather. 



Treatment For the general condition put the horse on Stock Tonic 

 mixed with the feed as directed. For external treatment, clean 

 the part carefully with a brush. If necessary to use water for cleansing, 

 put a few drops of Conkey's Nox-i-cide Dip and Disinfectant in a cup of 

 warm water, and after sponging, dry the skin carefully. Then proceed as 

 follows: Poultice with Conkey's Hoof Remedy mixed with bran and con- 

 tinue poulticing several days if necessary to reduce the heat and inflamma- 

 tion. Then clean the part with Nox-i-cide solution (1 teaspoonful Conkey's 

 Npx-i-cide Dip and Disinfectant to a pint of warm water), dry thoroughly 

 with a soft cloth then dust on Conkey's Healing Powder. This will heal 

 quickly. Meanwhile keep up the Stock Tonic Treatment for one month, 

 to put the horse in good healthy condition. 



SEEDY This is a condition of the hoof in which there is a powder-filled 

 TOE cavity between the two layers of horn of the hoof, sometimes 



extending from the sole to the coronet. The trouble is due to 

 a horn parasite and responds to the following: 



Treatment Cut away enough horn to expose the cavity, then fill with 

 Conkey's Hoof Remedy. Use the Hoof Remedy for regular 

 dressing of the hoofs and this condition will be prevented entirely. 



SHEATH Washing the sheath every 2 or 3 weeks with Conkey's Nox-i- 

 cide Dip and Disinfectant solution, 1 teaspoonful to 1 pint of 

 warm water, will correct any tendency to diseased condition and entirely 

 prevent what is known as foul sheath. Do not use harsh soap in the water. 

 Nox-i-cide Dip and Disinfectant will clean the part perfectly and quickly 

 and beside will act as an antiseptic application. Do not use lard, vaseline 

 or any greasy mixture of any kind, for grease is a culture bed for dangerous 

 germs. Antiseptic cleansing is the safe and practically the only treatment.
