222 DISEASES AND THEIR TREATMENT. 



No. 2. Oil turpentine, 4 oz.; oil tar, 4 oz.; linseed oil, 

 6 oz. Mix. 



PREPARATION TO KILL LICE ON HORSES. 



One ounce of arsenic to a pail of soft water. The horse 

 should be washed thoroughly in some warm place. It is 

 not known to many that hen lice and common human body 

 lice grow on horses with great rapidity. This remedy is a 

 sure cure, and is invaluable. 



NASAL GLEET. 



This is a chronic discharge from one or both nostrils, of 

 a whitish, muco-purulent matter, the result usually of neg- 

 lected catarrh. The general health of the animal does not 

 seem to suffer; he looks well, feeds well and works well, 

 yet we have this discharge, which is caused by weakness in 

 the secretory vessels of the lining membrane of the nose. 



The successful treatment in all cases where this disorder 

 has existed has been on tonic principle. Bleeding and 

 purging are positively injurious. Give one of the following 

 powders night and morning: Seaquin-chloride of iron, 2 

 oz.; powdered cinnamon, i oz. Mix and divide into four 

 powders. Or: Carbonate of iron, pulverized gentian and 

 pulverized quassia, of each i oz. Divide into four pow- 

 ders. Or: Nux vomica, pulverized, ^ oz.; linseed meal, 

 2 oz. Divide into eight powders. Another good prepara- 

 tion is: Muriate of barytes, ^ oz.; linseed meal, i oz. 

 Divide into eight powders. The last is best. 



CAUSTICS 



Are substances which burn away the tissues of the body 

 by decomposition of their elements, and are valuable to 

 destroy fungous growth and set up healthy action. 



Corrosive sublimate, in powder, acts energetically. 



Nitrate of silver is excellent to lower granulation. 



Sulphate of copper, not so strong as the above, but good. 



Chloride of zinc is a powerful caustic. It may be used 

 in sinuses, in solution, 7 drams in a pint of water.
