ALL that makes for the relief of suffering in the Animal world, and all that can con- tribute to the welfare of those Animals espe- cially which are brought directly under the control of Man, and employed by him for service or amusement, will be studied, it may be safely assumed, with interest by those charged with their care. In a state of Nature instinct guides very wonderfully, and it is exceptional when natural laws are violated by the untamed brute crea- tion. Withdrawn, however, from natural environment, domesticated, and subjected to artificial conditions, the animal becomes de- pendent upon his captor, and his well-being and consequent usefulness will be advanced, or impaired, according to the ability of the owner to obtain, and according to his intelligence in supplying, that which Nature, in her own per- fect proportion, can no longer grant. De- pendence, therefore, implies responsibility in all who have to do with the domesticated animal, and our aim should be to discharge that responsibility up to the very highest degree. No attempt is made in the following pages to direct treatment which may not safely l3C undertaken by the Horse- Owner himself, without professional assistance. The Six Remedies described cover most of the ailments to which Horses are commonly subject, and their employment will solve many a heart- breaking difficulty in the management of horses. Harvey's Remedies for the Horse. Horse-Owners not previously acquainted with these Remedies, are respectfully advised to try them for ailments for which they are recommended. The Proprietors have studied to maintain the excellent reputation of the Remedies by con- fining their recommendation of them to diseases in which their success has been abundantly proved. There are other cases — perhaps incurable — where relief will be obtained by their use, but such arc only lightly touched upon in the following pages. The Remedies are Six in number. Three are Medicines in the form of Powders for internal use, all taken in ordinary food, and the horse does not therefore need to be drenched, unless sick and not feeding. The other three are Applications for external use, which can be applied by any intelligent man according to the simple instructions given. TESTimONY. It may be objected that undue space is given to testimony. We submit, however, that the wide experience represented by the reported cases, classified in the following pages, will prove of greater value to the Horse Owner, in diffi- culty as to the treatment proper to apply to trouble arising in his own stable, than would mere recommendation, marking in fact, all the difference between practice and theory. A testimonial that it is a pleasure to the horse-owner to write, is one that is worth placing before others, for it may be safely assumed that there is solid benefit behind it. We would not feel equal confidence in putting Introduction. forward an opinion for which we had to ask, because the quaUty of spontaneity is the most vahiable ingredient in a testimonial, and, lack- ing this, from our stand-point it would lack everything, and, therefore, we never do ask for one, directly or indirectly. HARVEY'S REMEDIES ARE SUCCESSFUL. Their action is characterised by Simplicity and Safety, and they are commended as reliable Remedial Agents of the highest order, for dealing with common diseases affecting Horses, with a directness and promptitude both rcriiavkablc and satisfactory. lo Harvey's Remedies for the Horse.

HARVEY'S EMBROCATION or Curb Bottle is unapproached by any known remedy in its power over Deep-seated Lameness and abnormal Bony Growth or Deposit such as Curb, Spavin, Splint, Side-bone, or similar exostoses as hereafter described, so that it is la Harvey's Remedies for the Horse. essentially the remedy for such cases as are usually treated by firing, and which are un- affected by stimulating liniments, whose action is superficial, and with which this Remedy is not to be confounded. Harvey's Embrocation is not suitable for open wounds or recent bruises. (For such cases Harvey's Red Lotion is recommended. See page 82.) For Shoulder-lameness, Strain of the Back Sinews, and other Strains and Sprains it is invaluable ; and for Bursal Enlargements such as Capped Hocks, Thorough-pins, Windgalls, Sec, which are so difficult to treat satisfactorily with a blister, this Embrocation is most success- ful, being gentle but absorbent in its action. One application of the Embrocation is as a rule sufficient to effect a cure. In long-standing or callous cases, two or perhaps three applica- tions may be necessary. See directions for use. The operation of firing is rendered unneces- sary by the use of Harvey's Embrocation. Substantial evidence will be found in the follow- ing pages to prove that where Firing has entirely failed of its purpose, Harvey's Embrocation, subsequently used, has permanently cured'; and, negatively, we may state that we have never yet heard of a case in which the Embro- cation had failed and Firing, subsequently performed, had succeeded. No reason, therefore, remains for this cruelly painful practice, which not only blemishes the horse permanently, but frequently destroys his nerve and temper, through the violence often used in throwing him, as well as the shock of the operation itself. Harvey's Embrosation. 73 For Cough, Sore Throat, Bronchitis, Influenza, Pneumonia and Pleurisy, Enlarged or vSwollen Glands, its action is rapid and successful. ITS ACTION. Harvey's Embrocation is not a blister — itNotauster. produces a slight exudation from the skin, which forms a crust upon the surface. Thoroughly rubbed in, it penetrates deep into the part, to the very bone, and powerfully stimulates the deep-seated absorbents, producing marvellous effects upon all chronic enlargements in the horse. The Embrocation does not destroy the hair, Hair imrroved, but rather promotes its growth. The hair that comes after its use is generally thicker and more luxuriant than before, and in some cases suffi- ciently so to cover an old blemish. It has a specific action peculiar to itself alone, its power. that no other irritant possesses. It penetrates to the bone, and causes absorption of deep-seated deposits that firing or blistering could never reach ; its use, therefore, in Chronic Lameness, &c., is often attended with success, where all other remedies have failed. It is quite Painless, Animals will not bite it, Painie«. and need not have Cradles when under its action. For Cattle it is most successful, its marvellous penetrative and absorbent properties rendering it peculiarly suitable for all kinds of stock. See the professional opinions expressed by Mr. T. M. Inglis, V.S., and the late Mr. M. S. Small, V.S., on pages 37 and 38. To Horse-Owners unfamiliar with this Remedy, it is not easy to convey an adequate idea of its great power over Bone diseases and Harvey's Eemetlie^ for the Horse. deep-seated lameness ; and it is therefore a pleasure to refer to the voluntary testimony at the close of this chapter. Not one of these letters has been asked for, directly or indirectly. They are the spontaneous outcome of gratified personal experience, and are a valuable index to many forms of lameness permanently cured without operative interference. HOW TO USE IT. BEFORE USE. If there is inflammatory heat or swelling m the part to be treated, this should be first subdued by cold applications, and, if necessar}', oats or other heating food should be withdrawn for a few days, and laxative diet substituted, as if preparing for physic. If the inflammation is severe, a dose of physic will be desirable. A thick layer of dandruff is frequently formed at the roots of the hair, and after cli])ping the hair, it is essential that this be removed, either by vigorous brushing, or by washing with white soap and warm water, permitting the part to get perfectly dry before applying the Embrocation. Tf this is not attended to, the Dandruff may absorb the small quantity of Embrocation applied, and prevent it from reaching the skin. APPLICATION. The part being thus prepared, the small sponge, saturated with the Fluid, is dabbed once over the required area, which is then instantly rubbed with the palm of the hand until dry. Heavy dressing is not recommended, and should be avoided. Cases have been reported where this Embrocation has been applied on Harvey s i^mbrocatlon. 15 the principle that the heavier the dressing the better the re silt. This is a seiious mistake. Even in very bad cases two, or even three, jght applications at intervals of four or five \veeks give more satisfactory results. If, through inadvertence or otherwise, it has been too heavily applied, and swelling or blistering has followed it will not, as a rule, be desirable to interfere with the normal course of the Remedy, but the horse's oats may be stopped for two or three days, and sloppy bran mashes substituted, as if preparing for physic. r.EPETITION. Except in advanced cases a single application of Harvey's Embrocation is sufficient. If a second application is necessary it is not to be made for four or five weeks. Applied in this simple manner, the Embroca- tion Vvdll neither Blister nor Blemish, nor leave any mark. REST. The horse need not be rested while under treatment with the Embrocation if the nature of the injury does not specifically require it. See that the part dressed with the Embrocation is not interfered with either by work or grooming, or the scurf thrown out by it removed, but allowed to fall off naturally, and that is all the precaution necessary. In all cases of lameness, and of injuries arising out of Strains or Sprains, rest is, of course, most advisable. THERE IS NOTHJNG LIKE IT FOR DEEP-SEATED CASES. i6 Harvey *s Remedies for the Horse.

Curb is caused by premature hard work, by severe riding through heavy ground, or by sudden forced exertion of various kinds. It lies a Httle below the back of the hock, and shows out as a scattered swelling, the real disease being deep-seated. The hocks most liable to curb are small and weak, or sickle-shaped. Treatment. — Reduce any inflammation present by Cold Water applications patiently and steadily main- tained, and when this is subdued rub in Harvey's Embrocation. Splint is common among horses put to fast work while young. It is a bony enlargement, usually situated below the knee, causes heat and tenderness of the part, and frequent, though not incessant, lameness while the deposit is forming. Treatment. — Reduce the inflammation by Cold Water applications, and afterwards apply Harvey's Harvey *s Embrocation. 17 Embrocation, If possible, rest the horse for three vveeks, while under treatment. Bone Spavin. — A well- formed large hock is rarely subject to Spavin, but defect in these qualities is likely to produce sprain, if the animal is called upon for undue exertion, and thus set up the inflammation which results in the deposit of Bone Spavin. It occurs, generally speaking, at the inner and lower part of the h.ock joint. Treatment. — Rest is an important element in the successful treatment of Spavin, in its early stages. Cold applications or hot fomentations are advisable in order to reduce the inflammation, after which the Embrocation is to be applied. Side Bone is the name commonly given to a change of structure of the elastic cartilage in the wings of the foot-bone, as the result of concussion, or tread, or wound of some kind. Treatment. — Here again rest is a most desirable adjunct to treatment. Use cold water freely to reduce inflammatory heat, and follow this by a smart ap- plication of Harvey's Embrocation, the hak being first closely clipped or shaved. Ring Bone may occur either on the upper or lower pastern bone, more frequently in the hind than in the fore fetlocks. Treatment. — As recommended above for Side Bone. Flexor Tendons or Bacic Sinews, Sprain of. This injury occurs most frequently above the point of insertion of the tendon or ligament in the fetlock joint, and probably about one- third of the distance between fetlock and knee. Treatment. — If the injury is severe, entire rest is essential. Withdraw corn or heating food of any kind ; apply cold water bandages in the early stages. i8 Harvey *s Remelies lor the Horse. and follow with an application of Harvey's Embro- cation thoroughly rubbed in, and repeated in four or five weeks if necessary. Capped Hock is a swelling at the point of the hock, the result as a rule of kicking, either in harness or in the stable, seldom causing lame- ness. Tiiorough-pin, a bursal enlargement at the upper and back part of the hock, is a soft flexible swelling, capable under pressure of being forced from one side of the hock to the other ; hence the name. Windgalls are similar in nature to Thorough- pin, but are situated about the fetlock joints. Treatment of a similar character is employed in these three bursal enlargements. Fomentations of hot water at such a temperature as a man may plunge his arm in, followed by steady hand-rubbing, is most useful ; and if active treatment appears necessary. Harvey's Embrocation should be mildly apphed as per general directions, but with increased caution, as there is always danger of increasing inflammation in such cases. Sore Shins. — Young race horses are subject to this complaint, produced either in training or in actual work, by urging the animal beyond his strength. Treatment consists in rest and hot fomentations, followed by a very mild appUcation of the Embrocation. Sandcrack. — The primary object of treatment must be to promote the rapid growth of new and healthy horn from the coronet, as the divided horn will never re-unite. For this purpose apply Harvey's EmbrocatiOxN lightly to the coronet. Harvsy's Embrocation. To prevent further splitting, a line, or nick, should be cut with the rasp across the crack, above it. The horse should be shod in such a way as to prevent his weight from being thrown on the weak spot. Laminitis, Founder, or Inflammation of the Feet, is a most painful and destructive disease and horses suffer fearfully by its maltreatment. To disengorge the vessels of the feet, to prevent the soles bulging, and to give speedy relief, rub a little of Harvey's Embrocation round the coronets. Strip the feet, and compel the horse to walk upon sod, or round a loose house, for ten minutes every hour, locomotion being necessary to pump the blood upwards, and prevent capillary stagnation. Toe bleeding is barbarous cruelty, and physic always injurious. Hot poultices or fomentations, prescribed by some, are not to be used, as they only increase the pain by distending the already over-charged blood vessels. Deep-Seated Lameness.— Beside such cases of lameness as arise from exostoses or bony enlargements, sprains of tendons or ligaments, as previously considered, there are others, in which the cause may be obscure, and entirely undiscoverable by the unprofessional examiner. In endeavouring to treat such a case the owner will sometimes make up his mind that the lameness is in some particular locality, and will apply a blistering agent over an area sufficiently large to make it pretty sure that the right spot will be covered. This line of argument we would strongly deprecate. Far better have the horse examined by a skilful veterinary before adopting active treatment; 20 Harvey's Remedies for the Horse. But once the seat of lameness is discovered, if the case be one in which a blister or firing would commonly be employed, no hesitation need be entertained in applying Harvey's Embrocation, which will search the deepest seat of the injury, as neither Blister or Firing could do. Ophthalmia, or inflammation of the eye, is usually treated by issues on the face, which are certainly useful in restoring the eye, but are offensive to look at, and the pain of dressing setons makes a horse shy of having his head handled, and they always leave a blemish. Blisters are sometimes used for the same pur- pose, but if a horse rubs his face on the manger, after a blister is applied, it may get into the inflamed eye, and destroy the organ altogether, and also probably cause the animal to otherwise injure himself under the influence of the pain. A few drops of Harvey's Embrocation rubbed on the face, to within half-an-inch of the eye, will be dry on the surface in less than a minute, will perform its work more quickly and effectually than the other, and will leave no mark. Physic is essential in those cases, as also low diet, a cool stable, and shade from the sun. For Cough, proceeding from irritability of the larynx, Bronchitis, Influenza, Pneumonia and Pleurisy, Sore Throat, Colic, or other cases where blistering is commonly adopted, more speedy and satisfactory results will attend the use of Harvey's Embrocation. Always use it sparingly to obtain the best results. Veterinary Surgeons.— The attention of Veterinary Practitioners is directed to the Large Harvey's Embrocation. 21 Glass-stoppered Bottle of Harvey's Embroca- tion specially put up for their use. It contains the equivalent of four 7s. Bottles. DIRECTIONS FOR USE. Trim off the hair, if long, and vigorously rub the place with a brush, or wash with white soap and warm water if much dandruff be present and, when dry, damp all over the surface of the diseased part with a bit of sponge about the size of a walnut, saturated with the fluid, and instantly rub with the palm of the hand until dry. Be careful merely to slightly damp the part. Heavy dressing must be avoided. The application not to be repeated for four or five weeks, and then only in case any of the disease remains. The scurf that forms after the discharge has ceased to be allowed to fall oft itself. N.B. — Keep the bottle closely corked. Caution. — See that the wrapper round each Bottle bears a fac-simile of our signature as below, as without it none is genuine. Prices, 3/9, 7/-, and 21/- per Bottle.

He was blistered three or four times by two Veterinaries, out to grass three times during two years, and the last occasion about eight months, and yet after working him in light carriage traffic for about a week was as lame as ever, the Veterinary stating he was not worth £$, yet only for the lameness well worth 80 guineas. Coming across your ' Note Book,' I determined to try your Embrocation, and within THREE DAYS of doiug SO the lameness had left. He had a slight return after two months' work, and 1 gave him another dressing, which almost immediately cured him. That is several months ago, and the horse has been worked regularly, and is free from lameness ever since. I thank you very much, — Avonmore, Sneyd Park, near Bristol, nth October, 1894." * * * " Two Years Lame." " Having a cob nearly two years lame in the forelegs treated by more than one V.S. without improvement, I was induced to try your Embrocation, and it cer- tainly worked wonders ! After the first dressing he was decidedly better, and a short time after the second he became, to my great surprise, quite sound. I have also used your Embrocation on two other horses for strained sinews and splints, besides recommending it to several friends, and in each case with beneficial results. You are quite at liberty to make use of this unsolicited testimonial, if you so desire. — The Limes, Waltham Cross, Herts, 19th November, 1894," T. R. Matlhew Esq. The Veterinary said "Shoot him!" " About this time last year you sent my stud groom a bottle of your Embrocation for a chestnut horse which had broken down on both back sinews, with instructions to apply it three times at intervals of five weeks.

I bought a young mare about 5 years old with a large hard lump below the inside of the near front leg caused by speedy-cut or brushing. This mare had always been driven with a leather gaiter, but hearing of your Embrocation I tried it. In three weeks time it was one mass like a large scab. I felt disappointed, and ordered my man to thoroughly grease it. The next day, having to drive the mare myself, and not liking the look of this " Scab " (as I thought), ordered it to be washed with hot water, and to my great surprise the whole lot washed clean off, leaving the leg as clean as anything, and new haii growing. The mare still runs in this town in a baker's cart, and I can a.ssure you there is no sign of any lump.

"Last February year when camping, one of my sub-Inspectors called me to look at his cliargt'r. The horse had lamed itself some three mouths before by getting into a drain in the dark. I found the horse in great pain, unable to put his foot to the ground (off fore). The fetlock was exceedingly swollen and stiff, any attempt to bend the joint being attended with considerable pain. Owing to the swelling I was unable to decide what the injury was, but from the history of the case and from the fact that previous treatment with an embrocation and cold water for three months had had no effect whatever, in fact that the horse if anything got worse, I concluded the joint was dis- located, or some bone injured. However, I decided to treat the horse and see what could be done, and brought him into headquarters, when I put him in slings, and after a month got down the inllammation in the usual way, and then found that apparently there was no permanent injury to the joint. I applied your Em- brocation with no apparent effect. A month after I apphed it again, and after ten days the horse could put the foot under him and hobble about on it. Two months he remained in this state, as I went away on leave. On my return I gave him another dressing, and after that he ceased to have any pain and could use the foot freely, but the joint was stiff and thickened. A fourth dressing aftci about six weeks completed the cure, except that !he horse's action was somewhat short, -but after thrno months light careful work this disappeared, and the other day I galloped him hard over a hard country, and he went as sound as if he had never been injured. As he has now been in regular ordinary work for some mouths I can safely assert he is quite cured. I have cured many bad cases with your Embrocation, but this was the worst case of strain I have yet seen (and my experience of strains, &c., among the troop horses of the police has been con- siderable). . I am perfectly certain that no other preparation with which I am acquainted would have enabled the horse to be used again for any fast work.

The following curious contribution to testi- mony will not, we trust, induce anyone to follow the example of the enterprising groom, and in reply to many enquiries we here desire to repeat that this Embrocation is not prepared or intended for human use : — *' Apothecaries' Hall, "Denbigh, 19th October, 1893. " Gentlemen — A customer of ours who has found your Embrocation, or Curb Bottle, most efficacious (for horses) has, on his own responsibihty, Hsed it for a fleshy tumour on his own face, and wishes to krhow if it is safe. He has appHed it two nights in SUCCESSION. — Yours very truly, " J. Harrison Jones." The enquiry came too late, for if any mischief was to follow, our advice could not then stop it. We wrote our disapproval of the experiment, and asked for particulars, which we did not get until the March following, and here they are : — " Apothecaries' Hall, "Denbigh, 15th March, 1894. " Gentlemen. — I wrote some time ago asking if your Embrocation was suitable for a human being, and you said ' No,' and asdced for a history of the case. This I now give. " The patient is a groom in a private family, and had a fleshy tumour in his face the size of a duck's egg, for years. He reasoned that if your remedy could cure splints, it would do something for his face, so he apphcd it, and then came to ask us about it. Before your reply came, he, contrary to our advice, apphed it again. Aftei the second apphcation the pain was intense, but gradually abated, and in about a week he applied it Harvey's Embrocation. 8i again, and a fourth application a week later, after which it burst, a great quantity of cheesy matter being withdrawn. He then went under medical advice,- but did not admit having used your remedy. The wound healed up nicely, but the edges had to be kept together with strips of plaster, and were very long in uniting. Leaving the hospital, he resumed work, and applying your Red Lotion, the wound thoroughly closed, and his opinion of your remedies is higher than ever. Of course the tumour is gone, and his face, except on careful examination, presents no point of interest. There is a slight scar, but this is largely hidden by his beard. — Yours very truly, " J.

Wounds and Sores Healed without Bandages. HARVEY'S RED LOTION (HARVEY'S WATTS' RED LOTION). In Bottles— For Cuts, Wounds, Sores, Abrasions, Broken Knees, &c. 1 10, 2/9, and 5 6 each. A reduced fac-simile oj a i/io Bottle of Harvey' s Red Lotion as made tip for sale. HARVEY'S RED LOTION is a perfect Heal- ing Wash, containing all the properties necessary for the healthy and rapid repair of Harvey's EraDrbcatioil. $3 injured tissues, and being absolutely non- poisonous and harmless, no danger need be feared in applying it to wounds, no matter how severe, in any animal or bird. The Bandaging of wounds treated with the RED LOTION is not necessary, nor is it desir- able. Dabbed on the parts with a piece of old linen, it at once promotes a natural film which effectually excludes the air, and prevents the formation of abnormal fungoid growths, such as proud flesh, which are so common and trouble- some a feature in the treatment of indolent wounds. For Broken Knees, there is nothing at all so good as HARVEY'S RED LOTION, and we have not yet happened to hear of a case where the RED LOTION w^as applied in the early stages of the accident, followed by the use of the Hair Restoring Ointment, that was not satisfactorily cured ; while on the other hand we have seen cases so bad, that the owners had no hope of getting the horse right, after a course of simple treatment with the Red Lotion, followed by the Hair Restoring Ointment, become so smooth and fine, and free from mark of any kind, as to defy the closest scrutiny. A bottle of the Red Lotion ought to be at hand in all stables, ready for prompt use in emergency, A small difference in time at the start may make much difference in rapidity and cleanness of cure, and a wound improperly healed will leave a permanent mark, an eyesore to the owner, and a depreciation of the horse's value. 84 Harvey's Remedies for the Horse. For BROKEN KNEES it is to be used in conjunction with the Hair Restoring Oint- ment (see page 184) ; the wound being first healed with the Red Lotion, and the Ointment used afterwards as directed. Treated in this manner the skin and hair will be healthily restored, and no trace of the injury left. When horses rub the mane or tail from itchiness, the irritation is immediately allayed by sapping the Lotion well into the roots of the hair. Grease and Cracked Heels. Before using the Red Lotion for Grease and Cracked Heels, warm Poultices of Linseed Meal should be applied for a day, or, in more advanced cases, for two days, changing the Poultice twice a day. This treatment allays inflammation, cleanses and softens the skin, and prepares it for healthy healing. The Red Lotion may then be gently, but freely, dabbed over the affected parts with a piece of old linen saturated with the fluid, repeating the application twice a day. If the legs are swollen, a dose of purga- tive medicine may be desirable. See Edos, page 172. Harvey's Red Lotion is attended with success in the treatment of Sallenders, Thrush, Speedy Cuts, Harness Chafes, and Brushing Marks ; Hacks or Sores on the Teats of Milch Cows, and Wounds and Abrasions of all kinds, of Horses, Cattle, Dogs, and all animals. Wounds. — Never stupe a wound with water, hot or cold, particularly if upon a joint. Matter may be wiped Harvey's Red Lotion. from AROUND a wound, but never from its surface, as the matter is Nature's salve, to heal the part. A Hoi Poultice to deep wounds, before the Lotion is used, expedites the healing process. Wounds should never be stitched. Saturate the hair on both sides of the cut with liquid cement, or glue, and lay on strips of calico, with the selvage within a quarter of an inch of the edges of the cut on both sides. Draw these together with needle and thread, and lace as it were, till the Hps of the wound are in close apposition, leaving a depending orifice for the suppuration to escape. Sallenders AND Mallenders. These names are given to a scaly eruption which occurs at the back of the knee and in front of the hock. It is called Sallenders on the hind and Mallenders on the fore leg. Treatment. — Wash ofE the scaly matter with soft soap and w^arm water, and apply daily the Red Lotion in the morning with a soft sponge, and in the evening dress the part with Lanohn. The Red Lotion heals and strengthens the skin, while the Lanolin keeps it soft and supple. For the Foot-and-Mouth Disease in Cattle nothing can be found in the shape of a detergent remedy that has done so much good as Harvey's Red Lotion. Treatment. — Simply wet the surface of the sore feet well, -and pour a little of the Lotion, twice a day, into the animal's mouth. Every beast affected should also have half-an-ounce of green vitriol, dissolved in water, administered every evening. The cost of this article is only a few pence per pound, and one pound makes twenty-four doses, being dissolved in three gallons oi boiling water, to which treacle or sugar may be added, to make the drench less nauseous. By adopting this cheap and simple treatment, and not exposing them to the inclemency of the weather, feeding on boiled food no hay or straw, and out only in fine weather, animals soon get over the attack, and much suffering and loss S6 Harvey's Remedies for the Horse. are averted. Harvey's Red Lotion is so cheap as to be within reach of the humblest cottier. Caution. — See that the Labels on each Bottle bear our Signature as below, as none is genuine without it.

For Cough, Chronic Cough, Touched Wind, Broken Wind, Roaring, and other Diseases of the Respira- tory Organs, 2/8 per Box of Six Powders ; 10/6 per Quarto of Four Boxes. . reduced facsimile "\ of a 2/8 Box of Har- ^v^?.vOT5sti veys Aconite Powders as made up for sale. HARVEY'S ACONITE POWDERS are, per- haps, the most remarkable and successful contribution to Veterinary Medicine ever dis- co veredj They have accomplished, and are 98 Harvey's Remedies for the Horss. daily accomplishing, for Horses afflicted with Chronic Cough and Defective Wind, not only what no other treatment could effect, but what, until but a few years ago, was looked upon as impossible. These Powders exercise the most extra- ordinary influence on the Respiratory Organs of Horses, and no enconium which the Makers could write concerning them would at all approach the record of actual results obtained by Horse-Owners, whose voluntary letters are given at the close of this chapter, telling how, through brief use of Harvey's Aconite Powders, Coughs have disappeared ; how horses, otherwise sound, but through defective or broken Wind appeared good for nothing but the kennel or the " Zoo," have suddenly sprung into new life by their action, and how Roaring and other distressing affections of the Wind have yielded to their simple power. Of such letters we can only give a typical selection. To publish all that we receive would need a volume. Harvey's Aconite Powders are a well- known remedy for those diseases of the Respiratory Organs of Horses (heretofore considered incurable), known as Chronic Cough, Broken Wind, Thick Wind, Hay Asthma, Noisy Respiration (Roaring, &c.), and other affections of the air passages and lungs ; and also for Hoose in cattle, all of which they either entirely remove, or promptly alleviate in incurable cases. These Powders are a successful combination of the active principle of Aconite with other Medicinal Agents, absolutely avoiding the Harvey's Aconite Powders. 99 danger attending the use of the ordinary pre- parations called the Extract and the Tincture of Aconite, both of which, though well-known to the Veterinary Profession, and greatly valued, are comparatively Httle used owing to the irregularity of their strength and the consequent difficulty of estimating results. No single instance of mishap has ever been reported from the use of Harvey's Aconite Powders, while the record of cures of advanced and, to all seeming, hopeless cases of defective Wind in Horses, is without parallel, as may be judged from the testimony following. These Powders are entirely unrivalled in Veterinary practice, accomplishing what no other medicine or combination of clrugs can effect. The uniformity of their action, and the almost imvarying success which attends their use in true disease of the Respiratory Organs, gives them the position of a Standard IVIedicine. Horse Owners are invited to consult the letters following for very full and varied parti- culars of the class of cases benefited and cured by these Powders. Defective Wind. Harvey's Aconite Powders exercise a pow^erful influence on horses afflicted with defective wind, giving speedy relief to apparently hopeless cases, renewing life and vigour, and restoring usefulness and comfort. Horses are being constantly sacrificed — sold for a trifle frequently, sometimes destroyed — because they are gone in the Wind. Emphati- cally we desire to state that this is not necessary ; Harvey's Remedies for the Horse. and the use of Harvey's Aconite Powders will afford abundant proof that even a broken- winded horse may be made not only serviceable, but reliable and pleasant to work. Numerous hunters that are touched in the wind take Harvey's Powders regularly, and are thus kept up to the mark through the entire of the hunting season, that otherwise would be all but useless. They palliate the diseases called Broken Wind, Thick Wind, Noisy Respiration, and other affections of the air Passages and Lungs. They also eradicate Worms, and every horse improves in condition and appearance while taking them. Chronic Cough. A Chronic Cough is one of the most irritating experiences with which the Horse-Owner has to contend. An occasional cough is trying enough, but when this increases in intensity and frequency, and is always in evidence indoors and at work, it is no wonder if the Owner becomes discouraged, and oiten is ready to part with a horse, otherwise a good one, to be free from the annoyance. Harvey's Aconite Powders allay the irri- tation of the throat, which causes cough in horses, and when three of the powders have been given as directed, the effect will be apparent by abatement of congh and tran- quillity of breathing. During a sea voyage, travelling by rail, or owing to a mere change of stables, horses Harvey's Aconite Powders. frequently take cold. In such recent cases two or three of these Powders will effect a cure. Horses shipped across the Channel should get two or three powders after the journey, whether they show symptoms of cold or not, so that if damage has been done, it is repaired at once. Horses take these Powders in their food, and may work without danger while using them. Far from tending to injuriously affect them, the Powders give strength and tone to the whole system, and horses are vastly improved in condition by their use. In Chronic Cases a Quarto of Four Boxes is usually required, in order to keep the system some time under the influence of the medicine ; but in all cases for which this medicine is suitable the effect will be marked and well manifested before the first Box of Six Powders is used. The Respiratory Organs. Chronic Cough usually follows, and is the result of, Bronchitis or Catarrh. Treatment. — Give Harvey's Aconite Powders, according to the general directions at the end of this chapter. Thick Wind also frequently follows a bad attack of Bronchitis, or it may be the result of careless management in feeding and watering. High feeding with scanty exercise will produce it in some horses ; while a frequent cause is hard work after taking a horse off grass, or after watering. Treatment. — Feed regularly, and check a gluttonous appetite by hmiting both food and drink, giving food i03 Harvey's Remedies for the Horse. often, but sparingly, and water at night only. L»o not work the horse for at least an hour after feeding. Give Harvey's Powders, one every second night, in the last feed, which may be a cold Bran Mash, Roaring and Whistling are usually caused by a wasting of the Muscles of the Larynx ; from an attack of Influenza ; or fiom the use of bearing reins on carriage horses. The sounds which give the diseases their names are emitted when the horse is violently exercised, as in galloping, or when under the influence of excitement or sudden fear. In bad cases the least exertion produces those unpleasant sounds. Treatment. — Use Harvey's Aconite Powders as directed, avoid soft food, and give regular work. Influenza (Pink Eye.). Harvey's Aconite Powders are proving remarkably successful in arresting this peculiar disease, which they do almost instantaneously. TreaTxMent. — On the first appearance of the symp- toms (which commonly are : Great lassitude and weak- ness, with fever ; failure of appetite, and listless condi- tion), the horse should, if possible, be placed in an airy loose box, and offered a small cold bran mash, with an Aconite powder stirred in. If he will not feed, the Powder must be given in gruel as a drench, or as an Electuary made up with Treacle, as in general directions. As a rule, three Powders will entirely arrest the attack, and the horse will be fit to return to work in a week, but it is better to give the six Powders (one small Box) at the rate of three a week, as they act as a tonic and help the horse to regain lost strength. Broken Wind is an aggravated result of less pronounced disease of the Organs of Respiration, which has been neglected It is characterised by a peculiar hollow, muffled cough, and heaving of the flanks, caused by the ribs and muscles Harvey *s Aconite Powders. 103 of the stomach being used to assist respiration. It is commonest in mares, and its victims are usually gross and greedy feeders, large in the belly, and heavy drinkers. Treatment. — Confirmed broken Wind is of course incurable : but under the influence of Harvey's Aconite Powders the distressing symptoms are promptly alleviated, and the horse at once enabled to perform his work with comfort. Attention to feeding, &c., as directed for Thick Wind. Hoose is a loud dry cough, to which calves are much subject, and is caused by small worms lodging in the Bronchial tubes, being drunk up as larvae from stagnant water, and afterwards developed in the throat. Treatment. — See directions at close of the chapter. For Wind Sucking Horses Harvey's Aconite Powders are recommended by a correspondent of the " Bazaar, Exchange and Mart " of 4th Nov., 1892 (see page 134). *^* Special Attention is directed to the very remarkable testimony following. Those who use these Powders, even in the worst forms of disease of the Air Passages, are astonished at their results. The Marvellous Energy, renewed vigour, and high spirits imparted by their use, to animals depressed, dull, and spiritless, by reason of defective wind, must be seen to be credited. DIRECTIONS FOR USE. For Cough, &c., in Horses, — Give one Powder every second night, or three in the week. First mix the Powder in a handful of damp bran or oatmeal, and then with the usual feed. The medicine being tasteless, any horse will eat it with his food. Give water at night only, and clean, fresh oaten straw for forage 104 Harvey's Remedies for the Horse. instead of hay. Horses with defective wind should not have water during working hours, but at night may have as much as they require. Where good straw is not procurable, give a reduced quantity of best hay and increase the oats proportionately. Almost without exception, horses will take these Powders mixed in the ordinary feed ; but if an animal should refuse it, the Powder may be blended in a little treacle, and this smeared upon the back of the tongue, and on the teeth, with a smooth flat piece of wood or bone. This method is preferable to making up the Powder into a ball, or giving it mixed in gruel as a drench. For Cattle. — Cows and Calves that take Hoose or Cough are cured with this medicine. First give the Cow a pound of Epsom Salts in a quart of warm water, but put no ginger or other stimulant in the drench ; upon every second day after give one of Harvey's Powders mixed in a cold mash. Any feed of corn or mash in which this medicine is mixed, that has been left by a horse, must be put out of the way of pigs or poultry. Food must be cold before mixing. For horses infested with worms only, use Harvey's Worm and Condition Powders (see page 139). These are specially prepared for the purpose.

Paterson, Estate Office, Hunstrete, Pensford, Bristol, writes as follows : — A Bad Roarer. "Towards the end of 1882 the mare I daily used showed symptoms of thickening of the windpipe, and gradually became worse, until she roared unbearably upon the slightest uphill exertion. I was sometimes ashamed, although obhged to use her, as I could not readily suit myself with another. She fell off in con- dition, and I had made up my mind to part with her at E 130 Harvey's Remsdies for the Horse. a small price as soon as I could procure a suitable substitute. However, about October, 1883, I began to give her regularly every evening about a pint of well- boiled linseed in a hot bran mash, and continued this throughout the winter until February, when your ' Handy Note Book ' came into my hand. Then I tried your Aconite Powders. Until this the mare had improved in condition, but the roaring, or thickening of the wind, had not improved at all. I began about the first of March with your Powders, in cold mashes as directed, still continuing the linseed, but all given cold. By the end of March nearly every symptom of the roaring had disappeared, and the improvement continued until the mare had become her old self again, and worth double the money I would gladly have taken for her last autumn. — June i8th, 1884." Another Bad Roarer. Mr. Patrick Johnston, Baltygarron, Tralee, Co. Kerr}^, writes as follows : — " I want to tell you of the effect of your Aconite Powders on a ' roarer.' I had a pony that was as bad a case as I ever remember to have heard, and, in fact, became so noisy with me that I had to give up using him on the road altogether, I was so ashamed of him. Just then I got a copy of your little book, Veterinary Notes, and thought I might try a packet of the Aconite Powders on the pony, and did so. The effect was so good that I kept him under them for about a fortnight, and then the roaring had disappeared. A few friends came to see me one day, good judges of horses, and I trotted out the pony. They were greatly taken with his appearance, for I think the Powders had put him in good condition also, and one of them wanted to buy him of me right off. I refused to sell, saying that he was a bad roarer. ' Nonsense,' said my friend, ' he is no more a roarer than I am.' We put on the saddle, and one of them rode down the lawn and up, and gave him a good heavy gallop of about a mile, which he covered in splendid style, and came in heaving a Httle, but without a note playing. ' Roarer, indeed,' said the would-be-purchaser ; ' if you don't want to sell him say so, but don't destroy his character.' ' Well, he is Hxr/ey's Aconite Powders. 131 a roarer for all that,' I said. Then he punched him in the ribs, threatened him with a stick, and tried other usual dodges for finding out windy unsoundness, but without effect, and went away firmly persuaded that the horse was sound, but that I did not wish to sell."

HARVEY'S Eradicating Worm and Condition Powders are a happy and successful combination of a valuable Vegetable tonic, with an effective Worm Medicine, harm- less to the horse, but deadly to worms. The 140 Harvey's Remedies for the Horse. success of this combination may be explained in a sentence or two. Broadly considered, low condition in well-fed and well-groomed horses is due to disorder of the digestive organs, or to the presence of worms, and very frequently worms are the result of impaired digestion, so that the two troubles, ill-condition and worms, are largely dependent upon each other. Scientific treatment will therefore proceed on natural lines, not by attempting to produce violent effects, but by stimulating latent energies, and developing Nature's own resources, interfering with them as little as possible, always recognising that the necessity for interference at all only arises because of the artificial circumstances in which the horse is placed for the pleasure or the use of man. The wise owner, or the groom who knows his business, will never allow himself to think that medicine will make up for the deficiencies of stable management. The uses of medicine are to restore functions which have become inactive, or to excrete material which hinders the healthy operation of the organs, but which these organs are not sufficiently active to cast off unaided. It is indeed only too possible to obtain the latter object alone, by the use of severe and improper drugs, and to lea\"e the disordered organs not only unimproved, but positively weaker and less able to fulfil their natural functions than before. A speedy effect is desired, and a single dose of a drastic medicine will often produce it by bringing away a number of worms, and it is supposed that such a result is highly satisfactory. It is of the utmost Harvey's Worm and Condition Powders. 141 importance, therefore, that Horse-Owners Spring aad should know that, on the contrary, such treat- ^"^"™- ment is ahnost invariably mischievous, and to be utterly avoided. In Spring and Autumn horses are peculiarly subject to depressing conditions ; for at these seasons all life, both animal and vegetable, is undergoing its most trying changes, and special care is needed in order to counterbalance the exhausting forces of Nature's renewal in the Spring, and her dechne in the Autumn. We recommend that a course of Harvey's Worm AND Condition Powders be given at both these seasons. The effect is excellent, for these Powders do not give a mere temporary fillip, but build up the horse's constitution, and repel the inroads of disease. WORK IS NOT INTERFERED WITH. Horses are not laid up while taking Harvey's Worm and Condition Powders. Work is not interfered with in any way, and no alteration in feeding is necessary, excepting the usual prepara- tion and rest when the Physic Ball or Powder is given at the end of the course of Powders. See Directions for use, page 146. Worms. Worms of different kinds infest horses. They Low may occupy the entire length of the alimentary ^onditioa. canal — the gut through which food passes. Symptoms. — The symptoms of worms are ; A staring coat, poverty of appearance; un 142 Harvey's Remedies for the Horse. thrifty, dejected demeanour ; voracious appetite frequently ; sometimes a dry cough, and a yellow powder under the tail. They induce indigestion, irritable bowels, unhealth}^- lookJng, light-coloured droppings, colicky pains, and even enteritis (inflammation of the bowels), and locked jaw. Varieties — The Ascarides are commonest. In appearance they are needle-like, in colour varying from white to red. They are the result of impaired digestion, constitutional debility, or improper feeding; they breed at all times of the year, and often when one brood is destroyed, another succeeds. Maw Worms are short and thick, cause less disturbance than the Ascarides, and more readily yield to treatment. The Box is the most stubborn of worms. If there is any remedy capable of being used for his destruction it has yet to be discovered, for anything likely to dislodge the Box cannot be administered with safety to the horse. The Bot is therefore very largely master of his position, and, as a general rule, will take his own time to vacate it. The eggs of the Bot-fly are deposited in the long hair of the horse's legs, shoulders, &c., licked up and conveyed to the stomach, to the lining of which they firmly adhere until the succeeding summer, when they are naturally voided with the dung, in order to pass through the chrysalis stage to the full-fledged fly, ready to commence operations once more. Small worms are sometimes found in the rectum, and these are best cleared out by an injection of turpentine and linseed oil. No horse infested with worms can thrive, no matter how well he may be fed, as these para- sites live by and consume the nutritive parts of all the animal eats. In treating for Worms it is a mistake to suppose that a single draught is sufficient to eradicate pests which line a gut nearly forty Harvey's Worm and Condition Powders. 143 yards in length. Such a dose may, indeed, produce amazing results, and bring away a quantity of worms, but no pennanent beneficial result is obtained, and the horse's digestive organs are undoubtedly weakened by such drastic measures, and his intestines made a more secure harbour for the worms than before. Common, but Ineffectual Remedies. Linseed Oil (if pure), though sometimes a good purgative, is absolutely useless as a worm medicine. Turpentine is unsafe to administer and uncertain in its effects. Some worms may be kept alive in Oil of Turpentine for many days. Calomel is a most dangerous medicine, and in unskilled hands may easily prove fatal in its effects. Numerous instances are on record of horses being killed by mercurial purges, and consequently Calomel is now rarely prescribed: Harvey's Worm and Condition Powders touch at once the secret of successful treatment for Worms in Horses. They are a Compound Medicine which, while destructive to Worms, are for the horse an invigorating tonic, restoring the disordered functions of the digestive apparatus to renewed activity, and thus enabling the natural forces to throw off the abnormal nidus which makes the presence of the worms possible. . Mr. W. Quy Stevens, the famous Trainer, has expressed the thought of the most expcrie-iced florse-Owner^ when he states that " HARVEY S Poisons. 144 Harvey's Remedies for the Horse WORM AND CONDITION POWDERS are the Best Worm Powders for Horses in existence." (See page 163.) Beware of Thcse Powclers are not in composition or enect allied to commonly accepted nostrums for the eradication of Worms such as Mercury (Calomel) and Antimony, of which they contain no trace. They are a Vegetable Anthelmintic, which a horse will' never refuse to take with his ordinary feed, so that no drenching is necessary. They do not interfere with his work ; but when the course of Powders is finished and the Patent Physic Ball administered, he must be rested while the Physic is acting. By Harvey's system the medicine is divided into lifteen daily portions in three different strengths. These gradually increase in medi- cinal force, and being mixed with the morning feed of corn, when the worms as well as the horse are hungry, the parasites eagerly devour the food to their own destruction, as it passes, impregnated as it is with the medicine. In order to des- troy the sperm or spawn, left by the worms, it is advis- able to administer a purge on the day after the last powder is given, to prevent the formation of a fresh brood; The horse should therefore have sloppy mashes the previous day or two, and in the morning give the Ball, or an Edos Purging Powder, before feeding. Th9 excellence of these Worm Powders, and their superiority to the nauseating drenches so often administered to serve the same purpose, is now freely admiued. Tiio Piiysic.

For Conditioning Horses. Harvey's Worm and Condition Powders condition stimulate the gastric secretion in a remarkable degree, so that horses always improve in con- dition while taking them. They contain no mercurial ingredient (which subjects horses to take cold), and they are a superb alterative. They purify the blood, give new strength and vigour to the horse, and add a fine gloss to his coat. Numbers of valuable horses are ruined by the Qse of " Condition Balls," which are mainly composed of nitre or turpentine, and give the horse a good appearance for the time, but debilitate and waste his condition when the temporary fillip has subsided. 146 Harvey's Remedies for the Horse Harvey's Worm and Condition Powders may be safely given to horses at any time of the year, but the highest advantage will be obtained by giving a com'se of the Powders regularly twice a year — in Spring and Autumn.

The Powders are of three strengths, marked i, 2, and 3, and are fifteen in number. These are given in succession one every morning, commencing with No. I ; when these six are done, go on with No. 2, and finish with the three marked No. 3. Mix a Powder in a handful of damp bran, and add to the Morning Feed of Corn ; if soft food is given, the mixing with bran is unnecessary, but the medicine should always be given in the morning, and an hour before watering the horse. Upon the day the last Powder has been taken, give the horse bran mashes instead of corn, and next morning administer the Physic Ball. The use of the Physic is to expel the sperm or spawn of the worms, and prevent the formation of a fresh brood. — The Powders are the full strength for horses over TWO years old ; hah tlie dose of No. i and 2 is sufficient for a yearhng, No. 3 being omitted altogether, and instead of the purging ball, give half of a No. 7 Harvey's Worm and Condition Powders. i \-] Edos Purging Powder, or half a pint of Linseed Oil.

PARTICULARS ON APPLICATION. Bccounts cannot be opened SBALY, BRYEKS A^© WALKEPj PRINTERS, DUBLIN. PLEASE READ THIS. A Comparison of the Descriptive matter in this Pamphlet with the Opinions of Horse-Owners at the end of each chapter will show that those who use the Remedies say much more in their favour than we do. We are more ambitious to know that our statements have been exceeded by results than that they have been disproved. With every Remedy special instructions are given. These instructions are very simple, as may be seen, and easily carried out, but we expect that they will be faithfully observed. It is dis- appointing to discover that failure has occurred and time has been lost through negligence in this respect. " They are excellent indeed.' HARVEY'S GREAT REMEDIES FOR THE HORSE.
