showing off tlie animal he is mounted 

 upon, and so it has ever been with 

 man, woman or child ; they are always 

 pleased by the prancing of the horse, 

 which, nevertheless, is a very fruitful 

 cause of curb. Pulling horses up sud- 

 denly on their haunches is asserted to 

 be a frequent cause of curb. 



Treatment. — Perfect rest ; if hot, 

 bandage it and keep it constantly wet 

 with cold water and saltpetre for a few 

 days until the inflammation has ceased, 

 then apply Kendall's Spavin Cure two 

 or three times a day, and rub well with 

 the hand. In some cases it is well to 

 apply the bandage after each application 

 of Kendall's Spavin Cure, always applying the bandage as smooth as pos- 

 sible and rather tight. In very bad or very old cases we would recommend 

 using Kendall's Blister, as directed for ring-bone. 



DEBILITY.— This condition accompanies many diseases ; for this 

 reason anything which has a tendency to reduce the strength of the horse 

 should be avoided while treating the various diseases, especially of the 

 chest. 



Symptoms of general debility are swelling of the legs, breast, belly and 

 sheath. The horse is very weak, and staggers as he walks. 



Causes are bleeding in treating diseases, starving, and insuflacient and 

 improper diet given to sick horses when they should have been supported 

 by good and sufficient food during their sickness. 



Treatment.— G'lYQ the tonic powders which we recommend under the 

 head of Bots, once or twice a day, with a liberal amount of good feed 

 and water, and allow him to recover wholly before putting him into hard 

 work.
