call a wet compress, and is formed by putting on 

 first a wet — linen or chamois leather — bandage ; 

 then enveloping this with either a piece of oiled 

 silk or waterproof, and over all a dry woollen 

 bandage. Such bandages should not, however, 

 be used for too many days consecutively, but 

 should, as a rule, be three days on and two 

 days off. 



It must be borne in mind that whereas, in the 

 ordinary way of putting on a bandage, it is usual 

 to commence from the top and finish at the top on 

 the return folds, and tie either there or in the 

 middle of the leg, in putting them on in the 

 manner I have described, it must be commenced 

 from the bottom and finished there, thus bringing 

 the tie to the fetlock-joint, the tie being, of course, 

 on the outside of the leg. 



The prices of bandages are as follows :
