Take rosin 4 ozs., bees- wax 6 ozs., lard 2 lbs., melt tog'eth- 

 er; pour it into a pot and add 3 ozs. of turpentine, finely 

 pulverized verdigris, enoug-h to color the mixture g-reen, 1 

 lb. of tallow, stir all until it g-ets cool. This is one of the 

 best medicines for the hoof ever used. It is g^ood for calks 

 or bruises of the feet. Follow directions.

 foot oil, ipint of either, turpentine 4 ozs., oil of tar 6 ozs., 

 orig'anum 13 ozs., shake Avell and apply it as the directions 

 for the ointment tell. This is the best if the horse has been 

 lame long — it penetrates the hoof sooner than the ointment 

 — both of them should be applied at nig'ht, so that the 

 horse can go to work in the morning. He need not lose 

 one day's work.

Symptoms — The horse is taken with a chill and then 

 breaks out in a cold, clammy sweat, holds doAvn his head, 

 never offers to lay down, but groans when made to move, 

 ears and legs deathly cold. The cause of this is change 

 from warm to cold stable, and too much cold water when 

 warm.
