CURB. BANDAGE. 



showing off the animal he is mount- 

 ed upon and so it has ever been with 

 man, woman or child; they are 

 always pleased by the prancing of the 

 horse, which nevertheless is a very 

 fruitful cause of curb. Pulling 

 horses up suddenly on their haunches 

 is asserted to be a frequent cause of 

 curb. 



Treatment. Perfect rest; if hot, 

 bandage it and keep it constantly wet 

 with cold water and saltpetre for a 

 few days until the inflammation has 

 ceased, then apply Kendall's Spavin 

 Cure 2 or 3 times a day and rub well 

 Avith the hand. In some cases it is 

 well to apply the bandage after each application of Kendall's Spavin 

 Cure, always applying the bandage as smooth as possible and rather 

 tight. In very bad or very old cases we would recommend using 

 Kendall's Blister, as directed for ring-bone. 



DEBILITY. This condition accompanies many diseases; for this 

 reason anything which has a tendency to reduce the strength of 'ho 

 horse should be avoided while treating the various diseases, especially of 

 the chest. 



Symptoms of general debility are swelling of the legs, breast, belly, 

 and sheath. The horse is very weak and staggers as he walks. 



Causes are bleeding in treating diseases, starving, and insufficient 

 and improper diet given to sick horses when they should have been 

 supported by good and sufficient food during their sickness. 



Treatment. Give the tonic powders which we recommend under the 

 head of Bots, once or twice a day, with a liberal amount of good feed 

 and water and allow him to recover wholly' before putting him into hard 

 work.
