30 SADDLE GALLS. 



Tie up the horse's head for a few hours after the Blister has been ap- 

 plied. We would say tliat this blister works admirably alone in many 

 cases (not only for ring-bone but also for spavins, curbs, «&;c.) and is 

 particularly of great value in connection with the KendalTs Spavin 

 Cure for old and bad cases which do not seem to yield to the use of the 

 Spavin Cure alone. 



(Where the KendalPs Blister cannot be had of your druggist, send $ 1. 

 to B. J. Kendall & Co., Enosburgh Falls, Vt., and they will send a box 

 by return mail.) Give the horse a few weeks' rest after the cure seems 

 to be coni])lete. 



SADDLE GALLS are sores produced by the saddle or by any other 

 part of the harness. 



Treatment. The cause should be removed by attending to the saddle 

 or other pai't of the harness and adjusting it so as to remove the press- 

 ure. Kendall's Spavin Cure is used with excellent success for all such 

 sores by applying a small quantity twice a day. If the Kendall's Spavin 

 Cure cannot be obtained, get at a drug store Laudanum two ozs. Tannin 

 two drachms and mix and apply twice a day. 



SCRATCHES. An inllnmmation of the skin of the heel of a horse, 

 the first appearance of which is usually a dry and scurvy state of the 

 skin of the heel, with redness, heat and itching, (See grease heel.) 



Treatment. Wash the affected parts clean with castile soap and warm 

 soft water, and dry ; then use glycerine, eightozs., carbolic acid 1 drachm, 

 mixed and applied twice a day, washing as above when necessary to 

 keep the parts clean. Also see treatment for grease heel. 



It has been reported to us that Kendall's Spavin Cure, applied twice a 

 d.ay, after washing as above, has worked nicely. It is well usually to 

 give condition powders: saltpetre four ozs., sulphur eight ozs., copperas 

 four ozs., fenugreek twelve ozs., gentian four ozs. ; mix, and give a ta- 

 ble-spoonful twice a day. 



SHOULDER-LAMENESS. This is common among young horses 

 when plowing in the furrow, or it may result from a slip sidewise by a 

 horse of any age. Horses in cities are especially liable to this difficulty. 

 The muscles of the shoulder and sometimes the shoulder joint is involved. 



Symptoms. Heat, tenderness, and sometimes swelling of the parts. 

 It is sometimes difficult to ascertain the exact location of the lameness, 

 but by making a thorough examination of all parts and finding no lame- 

 ness, heat, or tenderness in other parts, it will be quite certain that the 

 difficulty is located in the shoulder, especially if it is found hot and tender. 

 The horse steps shorter with the sound leg than with the lame one, 

 which he drags along. In nearly all diseases of the foot the horse
