SETONS. 



A large and sharp needle, threaded with unbleached tape 

 and saturated with Elliman's, should be passed from the highest

Cause. — Indigestion resulting in disordered circulation in 

 the brain. 



Treatment. — Bleeding from the jugular vein, an aperient

 careful examination to discover the exact part afl'ected. This is 

 almost all he has to do if provided with a supply of Elliman's 

 Embrocation, since it is an absolute specific for all sprains and 

 like injuries wherever they may be situated. The patient 

 should, if possible, be given a box to himself, as all practical 

 cattlemen know how other beasts will '* put upon " a lame 

 member or one tliat is sick. If a severe sprain, it will be as 

 well to give a cooling dose of, say, a pound of Epsom salts to 

 keep down irritative fever. Then the Embrocation should be 

 well rubbed into the part affected for ten minutes a day, 

 continuing the application to the point of outside soreness. If
