KILL OR CURE. 
Baltimore, Md., May 12, 1893. 
Editor A merican Veterinary Review : 
I enclose a recipe that came into my hands through a 
druggist friend that is a corker, and may be of use to those 
who are looking for a general utility liniment that will cure 
spavins, ringbones, big head, etc. 
If it does not consume too much space in the Review,

Corrosive sublimate, one-eighth ounce ; tarter emetic, one- 
half ounce ; green euphorbion (?), one half ounce ; canthari- 
des, one-eighth ounce; oil Jof spike, two ounces; verdigris, 
one-fourth ounce; oil of wormwood, one-half ounce; croton 
oil, one-half ounce; oil of turpentine, two ounces; mercurial 
ointment, three-fourths ounce; tincture iodine, one-half 
ounce ; laudanum, one ounce ; crude oil, four ounces ; water 
ammonia, two ounces ; tincture capsicum, one ounce ; sul¬ 
phuric acid, one ounce. 
(Druggist’s advice) Mix and add the acid slow. 
S. Use a feather or brush. 
Very truly yours, 
W. H. Martenet.

therapeutics, is well evidenced by the arrangement of the 
new volume, and by a recapitulation of the names of the

and German authors who have contributed to veterinary
