liberally at the first application, and rub with a stiff 

 brush four or five minutes. Every day for a week, 

 after the first application, apply a small quantity of 

 iodine with a soft brush. In six or seven days, after 

 you are through with the iodine, rub on lard a few 

 times. In two or days after this, wash with castile 

 soap and warm water. In very bad cases a second 

 treatment may be necessary ; but in ordinary cases I 

 have found one treatment sufficient. After this treat- 

 ment, if the ailment is in the legs, the afflicted part 

 should be treated with a preparation composed of salt- 

 petre, two ounces ; borax, two ounces ; arnica flowers, 

 two ounces. This should all be put into a pan with 

 enough water to keep from burning and boiled half an 

 hour. When boiled, put it in a gallon jug, add two 

 ounces of spirits of camphor, and fill the jug with soft 

 water. It is then ready for use as soon as cool. This 

 wash should also be used after using " Great Dis- 

 covery," and is the most cooling and satisfactory 

 remedy for inflammation of any kind, and will harden 

 the part to which it is applied better than anything I 

 have ever used. If it is desired to work the horse 

 after he has been treated with iodine, he may be 

 jogged in a week or ten days after the first treatment.
