limb will bear friction let it be well rubbed with the hands, and this repeated 

 often. Bathe with cold water and rub dry. If the lameness and swelling 

 continue, take two parts of alcohol and one of Kendall's Spavin Cure, mix, 

 and bathe the leg with the mixture, and rub w^ell. Then take iodide of 

 potassium, one drachm; pulv. gentian, one drachm; pulv.ginger, one drachm; 

 sulphate of iron, one drachm; linseed meal, two ozs. ; make into a ball, and 

 give at one dose, repeating every day for several days. 



Prepare the above balls as they are wanted each day, because the iodide 

 of potassium should be kept in a vial until it is wanted for use. Always 

 begin the treatment as soon as possible. 



WIND GxiLLS. — Soft swellings or enlargements just above the fetlock 

 joints, which are caused by over-exertion or by sprains. They are of a sim- 

 ilar nature to blood spavin, and may be treated in the same way; or place 

 exactly on the wind galls pieces of cork covered with cloth large enough to 

 press them down, and wet with Kendall's Spavin Cure, and keep the cork& 

 pressed on the galls by the use of a rubber bandage, only removing it when, 

 the horse is used and when it is necessary to wet the compress. 



Apply only a little of Kendall's Spavin Cure to the compress, and be 

 careful not to have it so tight as to cause strangulation of the leg, but 

 only as tight as can be without causing strangulation. Remove the com- 

 press as soon as there are any signs of soreness, and bathe, once or twice a 

 a day, with the Kendall's Spavin Cure, until all soreness has subsided. 

 Care should be exercised in the use of the compress, or sores may be pro- 

 duced. (See directions for the Treatment of Bone Spavin.)
