To keep horses in good health you must at all times 

 have plenty of fresh air without a draught on them. 

 The stall should be cleaned and disinfected. To do 

 this, sprinkle all around the stall inside and out with a 

 solution of carbolic acid. Also sprinkle slaked lime, 

 especially in damp places. Every time horses are 

 shipped, the car should be thoroughly cleaned, aired 

 and disinfectants used before putting the horses in it. 

 I find it very important to do this in every place horses 

 go. I also think it is advisable to burn tar and sul- 

 phur in the stable two or three time a week. I am 

 satisfied it will relieve you of a good deal of worry and 

 expense during the season. Horses get sick some- 

 times even though you do all you can to prevent it. 

 When a horse is taken sick, it is all important that he 

 have immediate treatment ; but it sometimes happens 

 that when sickness is discovered there is no veterinary 

 surgeon to be had in time to do the horse any good, 

 and many horses are lost that might have been saved 

 if the veterinary had seen them in time. Appreciating 

 the importance of applying a remedy as soon as sickness 

 is discovered in a horse, and knowing the impossibility 

 sometimes of getting a veterinary just when you want 

 him, I have for a number of years kept with me a full 

 supply of Humphrey's Homeopathic Remedies, and 

 have had good results from their use. Not only 

 are the results of this medicine very satisfactory but 

 it is so easily administered that any one can give it. 

 If a man will study the book and go strictly by direc- 

 tions he can accomplish much with it. It seems 

 hardly necessary to say that you should know and un- 

 derstand what the ailment is before you attempt to 

 cure it ; for if you do not, neither these remedies nor 

 any others will do the horse any good.
