Y.” a ee: GEO. A. RITZ, PRINTER, 3 SOUTH ST. ‘PAUL. STREET 1881. Entered according to act of Congress, in the year 1881, By JAMES C. McKENZIE, In the Office of the Librarian of Congress, at Washington, INTRODUCTION, In the preparation of this little book, the motives of the compiler have been other then those of profit or popularity. A worthier object, one of broader and deeper purport, will perhaps manifest itself in, and grow out of its careful ex- amination and use; that of enabling the many thousands of Farmers and Stockowners through- out the country, who have devoted less attention and fewer years to the treatment of animals to reap the benefit of his experience. This pocket guide-book is not intended to take the place of a qualified Veterinary Surgeon, but rather to aid the farmer and stockowner who is not within reach of a good Veterinary Surgeon, and are often thrown entirely on their own re- sources; or is obliged to call some-one who knows but little more about medicine then the owner of the animal himself. Let such consult this book for treatment, with full assurance that if the recipes it contains are carefully prepared from good drugs, the mission of this little book will be accomplished, and hundreds of dollars may be saved from its use. With this object in view and my abiding in- terest in the noblest and most useful of animals, I now place before you THE FARMER AND ‘HORSEOWNERS’ VETERINARY GUIDE. Rochester, N. Y., 1881. DIRECTIONS FOR GIVING MEDICINE. Always approach the animal quietly ; In giving a ball let an assistant hold the mouth open, place the thumb of the left hand in the roof of the mouth, the fingers of the right pressed down on the lower jaw; always stand on the right side. The operator then gently draws the tongue out with his left hand, placing the ball between the fingers of the right hand and passing it well over the root of the tongue leaving it there; jetting go of the tongue quickly closing the mouth when the animal is compelled to swallow. Never use a sharp stick or anything of that kind to force a ball down the animal, as this often leads to serious accidents, never pull hard on the tongue for fear of injuring it. In giving a drench let an assistant gently pull the animals head up to some ring or joist. The Operator standing on the right side can easily give a drench, which is best given out of a long- necked bottle. . Be careful not to get the bottle between the animals teeth. If the animal should commence coughing let the head down;never pour med- icine down the animals nostrils which might result serious. Never pull the tongue out while giving a drench. Give physic or laxative medicines after hav- ing been prepared one or two days before with soft-food. Let the animal fast three hours after medicene, feed warm mashes. In blistering clipp the hair off as close as pos- sible, apply to the blister for fifteen minutes with smart friction, tie the horse’s head till the effect of the blister has passed off. Apply a little Olive Oil or pure lard to the part, the second or third third day after. KR EOERES: ie] COLIC DRENCHES FOR SPASMODIC COLIC. IN THE HORSE. Sulphuric Ether, - : 1 ounce.
