Dear Sir:—In presenting this complete work to you, treating on the diseases of live stock, we have used the utmost care in selecting the best remedies that are known to the Veterinary Proffession. Our aim is to make perfectly clear to you, in plain English language, that which is of great need to the farmer; where he has more or less live stock, which you must admit is a necessary part of your resources. Our business is a Live Stock Proprietary Remedy Co., for the purpose of furnishing to you, the best known remedies for diseases that your stock is subject to, at a much less price than it, would cost you, to employ a veterinary sur- geon. In other words be your own veterinary, thereby saving time, especially in the busy season, which means money to you, and in a great many cases saving the life of your valuable stock. For illustration—Your horse is attacked with spasmodic colic, which is a very severe and dangerous ailment, and unless prompt action is taken, you are very liable to loose your horse. If you rely on the veterinarys aid, what is the result? You are obliged to take time and go to town, you may find the veterinary, but usually you do not. In either case it consumes some hours of time; not only a loss in your time, but the ex- pense of the veterinary. In the mean time, your stock 2 AN OpEN LETTER TO THE FARMER. } is not only suffering for the want of assistance, but pos- sibly may be dead before you return home; in any event the veterinary must be paid. We have made it possible to obviate all this trouble and mitigate the expense, by placing within your reach such proprietary remedies, at a nominal cost, with full instructions, which will enable you to administer or apply our remedies without the least uncertainty or difficulty. We will send you a list of the diseases your stock are most subject to; by having the remedies for these dis- eases on hand, in cases of emergency, as we said before, will save you time, money, and your stock. These rem- edies apply to acute diseases, such as we will enumerate in our letter to you. If your stock is afflicted with any chronic disease, any remedy, specified in our book, with full directions accom- paning each remedy will be sent to you, on application. BEWARE of advertised medicines, that claim to cure everything from one bottle; this is not only against reason, but decidedly against science. Every disease requires different treatment and remedies. Therefore, we say again BEWARE OF CUREALLS. ‘Thanking you in advance for your appreciation of our endeavors, to place within your reach the opportunity of saving money, and for your valued patronage, we are, Very respectfully yours, DIVE STOCK” PROPRIETARY REMEDY -€@s Fort Wayne, Ind.

TABLE OF DOSES Giving the Different Proportions According to the Ages of Horses and Cattle. Whatever the dose of a full-grown horse may be, a colt three years old only requires three-fourths as much. A two year old one-half as much. A yearling one-third as much. The same proportion may be observed in cat- tle from oue year old and upwards. ‘The dose for a one- year old animal, is one-third of the dose of a full grown horse or ox: therefore, the dose for a calf or colt four weeks old, will be one-twelfth as much as the dose for the yearling. And the dose for a two months’ old calf or colt, is one-sixth as much’ as the dose for a yearling. For an animal only one week old, the dose will be one-fourth as much as the animal aged four weeks. In speaking of drachms, ounces, etc., if you have not : a measure convenient, the following table will answer the purpose. . » TABLE FOR LIQUID MEASURE. ne Fablespoontul 4s equal/to (1.060440. one-half ounce.

CAUSES OF DISEASE. | 5 CAUSES OF DISEASE. In the following table will be found the principal causes of disease: I. Electric, and other conditions of the atmosphere. 2. Innutritious and improper food. 3. Impure water. | 4. Overwork, overloading, driving to far and to fast. 5. Poisons—vegetable, animal, mineral, and zumins, or ferments. 6. Age—an old animal without teeth to chew or mas- ticate its food. | 7. Changes in temperature—taking an animal from a warm stable and exposing it to a cold, northeastern storm. Or overheating and allowing the animal to stand without protection from exposure. 8. Malformations. 9g. Hereditary influences. HOW TO OBSERVE DISEASE. Animals cannot speak and narrate their ills and aches, but “a shut mouth tells no lies ;” thereby nobody is deceived. Farmers should have no difficulty in recognizing disease when it appears in any of their domestic animals: As the un- easy eye, the anxious expression, and the peculiar look, tell the tale of suffering, and bear true and faithful testimony. And if a horse has a bruised heel it elevates it from the ground, and will not set its foot flat to please, or it may be said to deceive any one. The pulse tells much, and can be felt on the inner angle of the lower jaw. In inflammations and fevers the frequency of the pulse is increased. In de- bility and depression it is slower, but sometimes quicker than 6 How To OBsERVE DISEASE. 4 natural. The pulse of inflammation and fever numbers from seventy-five to eighty beats in the minute; and in great debil- ity the pulse will number one hundred beats per minute. The pulse is more frequent in young than old animals. In the full-grown and healthy horse it beats thirty-two to thirty- eight in the minute; in the ox or cow, thirty-five to forty- two; in the sheep seventy to eighty-five; and in the dog, from ninety to ninety-eight. A good sized healthy horse, will take one inspiration to three of the pulse beats. When the breathing is more frequent or slower, and when irregular, or laborious and difficult, there is then disease. Both the pulse and breathing will be quickened by exposure to heat or over- exercise, but by placing the animal in a cool, well ventilated stable, the breathing and pulse will be lessened. - Bleeding in domestic as well as veterinary practice, is almost discarded and obsolete. Blood-letting and over-phy- sicking are powerful and depressing agents; so much so, that when carried to any extent, few, if any animals wil! have vitality to combat the disease. Let the strength of the animal be maintained, because if that failed, where is the chance of recovery? Avoid these measures, and substitute a rational and successful system of treating the diseases of your animals. | _ The reader of this book cannot fail to see how simple it is to ascertain the disease your animal in suffering from, and how successfully you can arrest and cure diseases of . your domestic animals, by adopting our method of treat- ment. And it will surely be infinitely more profitable for vourself and pleasant for the faithful, loving animal to have you assist it to over-come disease, by your own art and med- icine, than to realize that it must look to some other than its master for care or help. The dumb brute never. forgets the one who relieves its sufferings. | .Mopes or Appiytnc. HEAT. sy) MODES OF APPLYING HEAT. POULTICES. OR CATAPLASMS.—Poultices are compositions for the local application of heat and moisture. They are made of flaxseed meal, bran, oatmeal, bread, pota- toes and carrots. One or other of these is stirred up in boiling water until a thick, pasty consistency is reached. This mass may then be applied, while very hot, directly to the parts, and the whole is covered by a heavy cloth. Or spread the mass on a piece of bagging (do this very quickly so as not to cool the mass) and while steaming hot, apply. Keep the poultice from drying by occasionally wetting it with warm water. A very hot poultice acts as a counter- irritant in contracting blood vessels in more remote parts, besides its effect in abating pain.. A warm, moist poultice, softens broken down and dead tissues, and aids suppuration and sloughing. | CAUTION.—In poulticing a horses foot, always apply the poultice to the sole of the foot. Never in any instance apply the poultice around the hoof, for if you do, in the ma- jority of cases, the hoof will fall off. FOMENTATIONS.—Are simply local baths, applied by means of a sponge or cloth. Usually, water alone is used, but Laudanum, Vinegar, Saline, and other remedies suit- able to the ailment are sometimes added. They may be used to cleanse wounds or parts of dried discharges. The tem- perature must be regulated to the nature of the disorder, and the portion of the body where it is situated. When ap- plied to the eye, the degree of heat should not go beyond 100 degrees Fahr. For external inflammations, bruises, etc. the water can be as hot as can be borne by the hand, and for internal inflammations as in pleurisy, inflammation of the bowels, bladder, etc., should haye a greater heat. When 8 MopeEs oF APPLYING HEAT. fomentations are applied very hot, they act as counter-irri- tants. When applied warm, they produce a mild, stimulat- ing, soothing and softening effect. They should be applied for a considerable length of time—one-half hour at least— and be followed by drying and bandaging. Fomentations _ reduce swellings and pain, and hasten repair in bruises, strains and local inflammation. HEAT BY INHALATION.—Inhalations are some- times used with good effect in diseases of the nostrils, throat and breathing organs. The moist heat has a sooth- ing action on the nerves, and tends to loosen dry exudations. The best method consists in placing a bucket containing a boiling mash under the horses nose. A dog may be placed on the seat of a cane bottom chair, and covered loosely with a sheet over the whole, the steam being generated in a vessel beneath. DRY HEAT.—Dry heat may be applied by means of hot blankets, hot water bags, hot salt or sand in cloth bags. Dry heat is often preferable to moist heat for simply re- lieving pain or congestion, as animals are less apt to become chilled by draughts and evaporation from the surface after- wards. HOT WATER.—Is usually applied by blankets wrung out of hot water, and applied quickly. The water should be very hot (not warm.) WATER. Diseases of stock, especially diarrhoea, are very often caused by drinking water which contains germs. It is very important that water be free from impurities. Water in shal- low wells or wells and ponds situated near cess-pools and WATER. 9 manure-heaps, also river water which is usually contamin- ated with sewerage, and stored rain water is dangerous. The only water that is pure and can be relied upon, is that which comes from springs, deep wells and upland surface water. Pure water can generally be determined by its clearness and lack of taste or smell. Water three times a day will be suf- ficient for a horse when at rest, but when laboring small quantities should be given frequently. When a horse is warm a few pounds of hay should be given immediately after-a few swallows of water, after which the animal should rest at least an hour before feeding. Horses should never be permitted to drink ice cold water. Although cattle are not so susceptible to the ill effects as the horse, as they have four stomachs while the horse has but one. Yet, it is preferable not to give them ice water. DISEASES OF THE HORSE. THEIR CAUSES, SYMPTOMS AND TREATMENT, Alphabetically Arranged for the Benefit of the Reader. APOPLEXY. Is caused by rupture of a blood vessel in the brain, water on the brain producing pressure, or too small a collar on a thick necked horse. DISEASES OF THE HorsE. 11 SYMPTOMS:—The animal suddenly falls to the ground, loosing the power both of feeling and motion, breathing slow and deep; the head is hot. If the pres- sure is limited, unconciousness will last only for a short time, and with proper attention the animal will recover; but will ever afterwards be unsafe for carriage use, as after having one attack, another may occur at any moment, and during these fits the horse may become unmanageable, and can only be controlled by a greater power than his own. If the attack is severe, it usually proves fatal; and if the animal should recover, paralysis is sure to be pres- ent in some portion of the body. TREATMENT:—Apply chopped ice in bags, or cold water cloths to the head. Keep the head elevated. Keep up a circulation and warmth in the limbs, by rubbing them; apply :a little mustard and bandage with flannel. As soor as the animal regains consciousness, sufficient so that it can swallow, give the following: mroummeredh: AGES. 2 ie iahant 6 he one ounce. CAN Oia I As at rae Aree ae a one drachm. ewaered!

An abscess is a formation of pus under the skin. There is also abscess of the liver, brain, and in fact, it may occur in any portion of fhe‘ body. > 3 iM 12 DISEASES OF THE HonRrsSE. SYMPTOMS:—Heat, swelling and pain, a promi- nence on the swelling from which the hair falls off, dis- closing a yellow, white and soft part upon the point. TREATMENT:—It is not advisable to open an ab- scess, before the pus has properly formed. In a common abscess, it will only be necessary to hasten the formation of pus, by applying poultices of flaxseed, and when the point is soft, make an opening on its lowest dependent point with a sharp knife, so the discharge can escape. And then apply eetee E ES ET hL oi, ctan | one ounce. finecine VOL. ine. ., i... - 2 -)-4- six grains. Mix. And apply to the abscess twcie daily. BLOODY URINE—HAEMATURIA. This disease is more prevalent among cattle and sheep than horses. When horses are troubled with bloody urine, it is generally caused by strains of some description; as slipping, or starting a heavy load, rearing or jumping, straining those muscles that are situated in the regions of the kidneys. Gravel in the kidneys or bladder is one of the causes. SYMPTOMS:—tThe urine may be almost black and loaded with clots, or it may be only slightly smoky or pinkish in color. The blood may be voided without the discharge of urine. Clots may precede or follow the urine. TREATMENT:—Apply cold water cloths over the back above the kidneys; give flaxseed tea as a drink. Feed on steamed or boiled feed, cut grass, or any green feed. Plenty of cold water should be given to drink at all times, DISEASES OF THE HoRSE. 13 as the more fluid that goes into the body, the less irrita- tion of the bladder and kidneys.

It may develop under the influence of mercurial poison, or as a consequence of direct injury. Croton oil and other acrid matters taken into the mouth may cause it; burns, blows, and the poison of insects have caused it. It may be produced by diseased teeth, but sometimes occurs in old horses without any apparent cause. SYMPTOMS:—At first the tongue has an intense red appearance and is slightly swollen. This is soon fol- lowed by so great an enlargement of the organ, that it entirely fills the mouth and protrudes beyond the teeth, at which time it becomes hard and black, and its surface 1s covered by a thick secretion. There is a sensation of heat in the mouth, and the swelling often causes severe pain. The glands at the angle of the jaw are enlarged and tender, and all movements of the tongue in chewing or swallowing becomes exceedingly painful, and frequent- ly impossible. Difficult breathing and inability to lie dowii are sometimes caused, by the obstruction to the free entrance of the air into the lungs. In extreme cases death has occurred from suffocation. 14 DISEASES OF THE Horse. ¥" i + TREATMENT:—If you detect this malady in time, i, _ or while the horse is still-able to swallow, give without de~ ae ee lay one quart raw linseed oil, and ii the patient is not able oe - to swallow, give an injection of soapsuds one quart, to a Ses which add one teaspoonful of Turpentine.

It occasionally follows distemper, influenza, or even common cold or sore throat; or may be caused by standing in draughts when heated. JInhaling irritating gasses and smoke. It occurs in various degrees of in- tensity. SYMPTOMS :—Disease is ushered in by a chill, de- pression, appetite wholly lost, harsh cough, heaving at the fanks, mouth hot and dry, fever. 1n a few days there will be a discharge of pus from the nostrils, although some of the discharge may drop into the pharynx or throat and be swallowed. The bowels are generally consti- pated and the dung is covered with mucus. Breathing labored and quick. | TREATMENT :—Place the animal in a comfortable place with proper ventilation. li the weather is cold or chilly, blanket the horse well. Rub the legs with the hands until they are warm, and bandage to the knees with flannel; if the legs do. not get warm from hand rubbing ap- ply whisky and red pepper.

This treatment will not only cure the horse in five or six days, but the horse is left in sound condition, which to frequently is not the case. But re- ‘member, do not put the horse to work to soon after re- covery, as a relapse may develop into a chronic case, or an incurable case of thick wind.

SYMPTOMS:—Iif the animal ryele on three legs, or uses only the toe when walking, the case is quite se- vere. By examining the foot the injury can be readily located. If it is soft to the touch, there is a formation of pus. As soon as the pus is allowed to escape, the lame~- ness 1s less prominent. TREATMENT:—When examining the foot, if you find only inflammation without pus, bathe the foot in cold water, which undoubtedly will prevent any further devel- opments, and will be all that is necessary to effect a cure. But if on examining the foot you find a formation of pus, make an opening to allow it to exude. Then poultice the sole of the foot, for twenty-four hours with linseed meal.

As it is rarely seen in high dry districts, it is evi- dent that moisture paves the way for this disease. In- juries to the sensitive sole by bruises, nails, etc., may pro- duce it, or it may be the result of a neglected case of thrush. SYMPTOMS:—When this disease is the result of an injury, there is a bad smelling discharge, and the injured part does not show any inclination to heal. Soft, spongy, unhealthy growths grow from the frog and sole. As the disease advances, lameness will be a prominent symp- tom. TREATMENT:—tThis disease is very stubborn and dijfcuit to treat. Nevertheless cases, and very hard ones, too, have been cured but not in one day; it sometimes takes weeks. Place the animal in a dry stall, cut out all the diseased tissues or sole, until it bleeds freely. It will be necessary to use a knife to remove the dead sole, and most oi the proud flesh can be removed in the same man- ner; 1f there is the least trace of any remaining proud flesh, take caustic potash and reduce to a coarse powder, as quickly as possible, and immediately lay it upon the raw surface.

We will not dwell on the causes and symptoms of cold, as we feel confident every farmer is familiar with this © disease, and can readily detect its appearance. No dis- ese is more common among young horses than cold; which in itself is not serious, and frequently the animal recovers without treatment when given good care; but unfortunatelf¥ complications arise, and before the owner of the animal is aware of it, some serious malady has set 20 DISEASES OF THE HorsE. in. Therefore, “as an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure,” it is wise not to let a cold run its course. But give our REMEDY NO. 32 AS DIRECTED.

CAUSES:—This disease is caused by pulling hard, especially on hilly roads; fast driving upon hard roads; weakness in the part from the effects of sprains; slipping on smooth pavements. Many young foals knuckle badly. TREATMENT:—The young colt will usually gain strength and be alright in a few hours; but if after it is a few days old it continues to knuckle, it is advisable to pad some belting with cotton batting or wool, and make a brace to extend from the foot to the knee, fasten it on with the leg perfectly straight; care must be taken not to bind to tight; examine every day or two, to make sure it is not chafing the leg, and as soon as the colt can stand straight without it, remove it.

CAUSES :—Anything that will cause indigestion or irritation of the intestinal canal, will produce colic. The principal causes are: drinking cold water when _ over- heated, or colder water than the horse has been in the habit of drinking. Change of feed from oats to corn, sudden ‘changes in temperature from hot to cold, exposed to rain or driving a horse into a pond of cold water. | SYMPTOMS:—The horse appears uneasy, and all at once the horse that a few moments before was well, ap- parently, leaves his feed and looks around at his flank as if pointing out the seat of pain, commences to paw the ground, sometimes falling upon its knees, and almost strikes its belly with one of the hind feet. As the spasms continue and the pain becomes more intense, the horse breaks out into a sweat, heaving at the flanks, tumbling, rolling and becomes greatly excited. TREATMENT:—If the pain continues to increase, and the animal is not relieved, inflammation of the bowels may result, or the horse may die from pain or exhaustion. Give the horse plenty of bedding, so there will be less danger of his bruising or injuring himself. Give im- mediately our REMEDY NO. 26: FOLLOWED BY, REMEDY NO. 27 AS DIRECTED. Rub briskly the legs and abdomen, occasionally walk the horse about, to excite the bowels to action.

COLIC FLATULENT OR BLOATING COLIC. SYMPTOMS:—Are similar to spasmodic colic, with the exception that the animal bloats, causing a distention of the bowels, and belches gas. This disease if not treated at the onset, will speedily end in the death of the animal. TREATMENT:--Immediately give an injection, composed of enough soap added to one quart of warm water to form a suds, to which add a handful of table salt, and toilow this treatment by giving our REMEDIES NOS. 26 AND 27 AS DIRECTED.

When horses are kept in the stable without sufficient exercise, and well groomed, the blood vessels become weak, and for the want of power are unable to contract and empty themselves. When the horse is in this condition if called upon for severe exertion, either by work or driving, congestion of the lungs is frequently the result. Any horse over-exerted on a warm day mav be stricken with congestion. : DISEASES OF THE Horse. 23 SYMPTOMS:—The horse blows, nostrils expanded, heaving at the flanks, trembling and distress is apparent over the entire body; the animal is stupid and the eyes are blood-shot; large drops of perspiration roll off the body, limbs become cold, heart beats rapid, breathing labored and wheezy. : TREATMENT :—Encourage the blood to the skin and legs, by rubbing briskly and bandaging; blanket, al- low free access to cool air, if there is any wind blowing let the animal have the full benefit, by turning its head in that direction. Give four ounces of brandy or whiskey in half pint of warm water, every half hour, until three doses are given. Followed by our REMEDY NO. 40 AS, DIRECTED. Price, 75 ‘cents: CONSTIPATION—COSTIVENESS. Fecal retention, stopping or stoppage of the bowels; state of the bowels in which the evacuations do not take place as frequently as usual, or are inordinately hard or expelled with difficulty, owing to diminished action of the muscular coat of the intestines, or to diminished secretions | from the mucus membrane or both. TREATMENT:—The exciting and _ predisponent causes must be inquired into and obviated. Feed the animal bran mash one day, and give at one dose one quart of raw linseed oil. If the constipation is chronic, use our RENEE Y NOWU46 AS DERECT BD: Price ,..7.5 cents. 24 DISEASES OF THE HorsE. CONSUMPTION. Consumption is the result of attacks of influenza, lung fever and bronchitis, when these diseases have not had proper treatment. Depleting the system of the horse by bleeding during any of these attacks, is very liable to pro- duce consumption. Consumption is an incurable dis- ease, therefore, to much caution cannot be exercised in the treatment of any of the inflammatory diseases, such as influenza, lung fever, etc. Consumption may be heredi- tary. . TREATMENT:—As consumption is incurable, the treatment is only to alleviate the animal. The conditions of consumption are the same, whether in man or animal. To prolong life, give four ounces of whisky in half pint cf warm water every four hours, until you have given three doses. After which Suliniaterot Iron) .'s. 6... two drachms. Powdered Gentian. ...°.... two drachms. Should be given three times a day mixed with cut or soft feed. If the animal will not eat it readily, mix in one quart of water and give as a drench. The horse should be placed in a well ventilated stall, and blanketed to keep warm. ‘This is about all that can be done for the poor animal. CORNS. Corns are red spots on the sole of the foot, usually found on the inner portion although sometimes found on the outer quarter. | The principal cause is a bruise, gen erally produced by bad shoeing or from the shoes shifting from their proper position. Allowing the horse to go to é DISEASES OF THE HORSE. 25 long before removing the shoes, or by removing them be- fore the foot has grown from the shoes. SYMPTOMS:—Lameness and stumbling when driv- en. Red spot on the sole of the foot, which, upon being pressed causes the horse to evince pain. Sometimes the corn suppurates, in such cases the animal will hesitate to place the foot on the ground, and when it does, it will only rest it on the toe. TREATMENT :—Take off the shoe and poultice the sole of the foot with ground flaxseed, for twenty-four hours, then pare down or cut out the corn, and apply our Rev DYON@. 72° AS DIRE CLED: Shoe the horse sufficiently often, to insure even bear- ing to the shoe upon the wall only of the foot. f Price of remedy No. 73, 50 cents. CRIB-BITERS, WIND-SUCKERS, STUMP-SUCKERS. This is not a disease, but a habit, and you must admit a very bad one. CAUSES:—In young animals while cutting teeth, also while shedding teeth there is more or less pain and ir- ritation. The colt to relieve its sufferings, will bite on anything that is within reach, in this way the habit is formed. Other causes: Idleness, indigestion, and ac- quiring the habit from other animals in the same stable. The habit once formed, it is difficult to overcome it. Wind sucking causes indigestion and colic, and at any time the animal may die from bloating: Horses with this habit are unsafe to own. TREATMENT :—Various ingenious devices have 26 DISEASES OF THE HORSE. been constructed and used to break the habit, with partial | success. Examine the teeth and after getting them in good condition, prepare a paste made of red pepper and flour, and spread it on the objects that the horse is in the habit ot using when wind sucking. As soon as this habit is noticed in the colt, he should be broken of it at once, as it is not so difficult to do when taken in time. CURB. Curb is a disease of the hock-joint, and consists of a swelling immediately below the point of that joint. It may be large and soft or only a small, hard nodule. It is the result of sprain of the posterior straight ligament; this ligament is usually sprained by the animal slipping, jumping, rearing, or by backing up violently. This dis-. ease may or may not be accompanied with lameness. TREATMENT:—Shoe the horse with high heeled shoes, and apply hot fomentations and our REMEDY NO. 85 AS DIRECTED. Price, $1.00. DIABETES. This is a disease accompanied by great and frequent flow of urine. It is caused by the starch and some in- gredients of the food being transferred into sugar. This will occur more readily from feeding imperfectly cured oats, than from any other diet. SYMPTOMS:—An excessive flow of almost colorless urine, great thirst. Although the animal has a ravenous appetite, it looses flesh rapidly. The coat becomes rough, DISEASES OF THE Horse. Ota and there is great weakness, emaciation and general de- bility. The duration of this disease, varies from a few days to months and even years. In some cases, it may develop to an alarming extent within a few hours, while in other cases the disease comes on slowly. TREATMENT :—Diabetes is generally considered incurable, but this is not always the case; as a small per- centage of the cases can be cured. But this percentage is so small and the treatment so expensive, that we do not recommend it for general use. To deny the animal water which it so greatly desires, does not mitigate the ailment. The water must be pure; nutritious food and plenty of it, is an important factor. The horse should have absolute quiet and rest. Our REMEDY NO. s4 GIVEN AS DIRECTED, will palliate, and prolong the life of the horse. Price of remedy No. 54, $2.50. DIARRHOEA. Diarrhoea is the frequent discharge of fluid or semi- fluid excrement or dung; caused by some irritant in the bowels, which does not pass freely away. SYMPTOMS:—The symptoms of diarrhoea are to well known to need repetition; but cases vary greatly, not only in the kind of fluid evacuations, but in their amount and frequency. A diarrhoea from over-eating, may be harmless or even beneficial, in relieving an overtaxed di- gestive system. Again, a profuse diarrhoea may be ex- hausting enough to hasten fatal issue. Colicky pains and cramps almost always accompany diarrhoea, attended by profuse watery discharge. 28 DISEASES OF THE HOorRSE. TREATMENT:—Whatever the cause of diarrhoea may be, if there is colicky pains attending it, allay the pain at once by giving our REMEDIES NOS. 47 AND 48 AS DIRECTED. After administering the medicine feed on bran : mashes, cake meal, or ground flaxseed for a few days; this will overcome the constipating effects of the medicines. Price of remedies Nos. 47 and 48 complete, 75 cents. DISTEMPER—INFLUENZA—STRANGLES. A name applied to epizootic catarrh, and occurs more frequently in the spring of the year. It frequently is ‘the result of a cold, as a cold rarely runs its course, without some complications. Colts and horses under five years of age, are more subject to this disease than older horses. This is a serious disease and should be at once attended to, to avoid serious complications. CAUSES :—Poison in the air, sudden changes from dryness to moisture of the earths surface, cold winds from the east accompanied with dampness, change from one climate to another. ; SYMPTOMS:—-The animal is taken with a shivering fit, followed by fever, loss of appetite, cougti, mucus is exuded from the nose, the eyes will begin to water and sometimes maturate. Prostration, dullness and loss of strength; this is followed by swelling of the legs, and in severe cases the belly, breast, and in males the sheath. If the horse is tucked up along the abdomen, with hard pel- lets of dung covered with mucus, the bowels are attacked and the case is dangerous. If the lungs are attacked, there will be a perceptible ridge extending from the flank . | ee am : ay } Bork _ DISEASES OF THE HORSE. 29 { to the breast bone, accompanied by short, hurried breath- ing and painful cough. When this occurs the case is ex- tremely dangerous. TREATMENT :—tThe death rate from this disease is enormous; therefore, the adherence to the treatment is absolutely necessary. Place the animal in a cool, (not cold) airy stall free from draughts, lightly blanketed. If the animal is constipated, give a grown horse four ounces Glauber Salts, or two ounces to a colt, in the morning; if the bowels do not operate, repeat the dose at night. Follow this by administering our REMEDIES NOS. 23, :24-AND:25 AS: DIREGH EW: Place plenty of cold water before the horse, so he can drink as much as he wants; this will assist in his recovery. Do not work the animal before it has thoroughly recover- ed, as a relapse might follow. Allow exercise, as this will be a benefit, but do not turn the exercise into work. When lung complications are present, apply mustard plasters along the belly and sides. The above treatment carefully followed, will place your animal on the road to recovery in a few days. Price of remedies Nos. 23, 24 and 25 complete, $2.50. DROPSY. Every farmer is familiar with the term dropsy, which means an unnatural accumulation of water in the cavities of the body—chest, heart-case, belly, breast, sheath, and cellular tissue of the legs. The causes of this disease are many and various. Low diet or deteriorated food, ex- cessive bleeding, blistering, effects of fevers, and some- times results from epizootic influenza. Injury to any 30 DISEASES OF THE HorSE. part of the body, may be followed by watery swellings around the injury. Rumbling of the bowels is invariably a constant symptom. Should diarrhoea make its “ap- pearance, check it immediately or the disease will prove fatal. TREATMENT :—It is necessary that the animal have blood-making food and medicines. The food should consist of cornmeal mixed with bran and cut hay. Grass, if it can be had, is preferable. A pint of strong beef tea or soup given daily will be of great benefit. An abun- | dance of fresh air and light is necessary, and regulate the bowels with a pint of raw linseed oil. Give our REMEDY NO. 30 AS DIRECTED, and a speedy recovery will be the result. Price of remedy No. 30, $1.00. FOUNDER—INFLAMMATION OF 1oe FEET. (Laminitis.) Founder is an inflammation of the leaves, which dove- tail into each other, and bind the sensible and insensible portions of the foot together. This disease is of frequent eccurrence, and when left to itself, destroys many good horses by leaving them forever afterwards tender in front. CAUSES :—Drinking cold water when overheated and exhausted from over work. Eating grain to excess, or feed- ing on green corn, driving barefooted on hard roads, or having a nail driven to close in the shoe. SYMPTOMS:—At first the horse will stand with the — fore feet forward, and the legs are so stiff it will be im- possible to move or bend them. But in a short time, he will stretch the fore feet and legs out as far as he can, to DISEASES OF THE Horse. 3 me throw the weight off of them. The hind legs are brought far in under the horse, the head is erect and high. When the animal is forced to move, it staggers, jumps, and is inclined to lie down; is extremely excitable, and is the _ picture of great distress. If only one foot is attacked, the animal will keep the suffering foot raised most of the time. TREATMENT :—Prepare an airy stall with an abun- dance of good bedding, move the horse into it, and en- courage it to lie down which will give great relief. Give our REMEDY NO. 68. (AS); (DIRECT El: Apply ice water or cold water cloths to the feet; in a few hours, possibly you will be able to remove the shoes; in doing this, every nail should be made loose and as little hammering on the foot as possible. By per- suading the animal to lie down, administering our remedy No. 68 and applying cold water cloths, in a day or two the horse will be none the worse from the attack; but this disease when left to itself, will render the horse unfit for use ever afterwards. After thorough recovery, shoe carefully, and keep the feet soft. Do not put the animal to work to soon. Exercise gently, but to much exercise is harmful. Price of remedy No. 68, $1.00.

Price of remedy: No. 63, 50 cents. GENERAL DEBILITY. General debility is a breaking down of the entire sys- tem. CAUSES:—Improper treatment of diseases, bleeding, or giving powerful physics, when there is no need of it. Innutritious food and the wrong diet to a sick horse, when he should be supported during his sickness, with good digestible food. The neglect, or want of experience on this point, has been the indirect means of killing thousands of horses, that would have recovered. Error, and neglect has caused loss to the farmer of many dollars. SYMPTOMS:—Swelling of the legs, sheath, breast and belly; these swellings are not inflammatory, but soft, and contains fluid. Breathing is disturbed. Weakness of the horse is very prominent, and in cases where debility is of long standing, the horse staggers while walking, and can be easily pushed off his feet by the hand. Excessive weakness overcomes the animal, and it falls to the ground. TREATMENT:—tThe animal thus affected, rapidly becomes weak and debilitated, and unless you come to its rescue, this breaking down will result in the loss of the animal’s life. The first necessity is good, wholesome, nutritious food; pure water, and blood making medicine. Our REMEDY NO. 96 GIVEN AS DIRECTED, will build up the blood, muscles, appetite, and in a short time the horse will gain flesh and strength.

Price of remedy No. 96, $1.00. GLANDERS—FARCY. Glanders is a domestic disease. Among the many causes we will enumerate: keeping in damp, impure stables, improper feeding, and debilitating diseases, as epizootic in- fluenza, catarrh, lung fever, grease heels or any disease capable of generating pus; this pus is absorbed into the general circulation, forming a ferment in the blood; the result of nature trying to rid itself of this offending mat- ter, is seen in the ulcerations of the lining membrane of the nose. SYMPTOMS:—Glanders are recognized by ulcera- tions of the lining membrane of the nose. These ulcers discharge pus of a yellowish color, later a greenish color; this pus is very tenacious or sticky, rapidly drying up when spread over the nostrils, and sinking in water. There is one symptom that is never absent in this disease, and that is the enlarged gland under the jaw. Horses af- fected with chronic glanders will live and work for years, which fact, has caused dissatisfaction with local laws,pro- hibiting the use of glandered horses, 34 DISEASES OF THE HorsE. TREATMENT :—During treatment the horse must be given plenty of nutritious food, and removed from other horses to a comfortable place, where he will have plenty fresh air. Change the feed often, in order to get all the elements that the blood requires, this will aid in toning up the appetite. If the appetite fails it will be im- possible to effect a cure. Give our REMEDIES NOS. 28 AND 29 AS DIRECTED. If the horse has simple glanders without tubercules, — its recovery will be speedily effected. But if the disease is associated with tubercules of the lungs, it can not be cured. Price of remedies Nos. 28 and 29 complete, $3.00. GRAVEL IN FOOT. TREATMENT:—Wash out the gravel if possible, if you are unable to do this, remove some of the horn, then wash out thoroughly. Aiter the gravel has been removed, — wash the parts thoroughly with the following solution: Peete pie on bak yin Sie One-half pint. Paspolic Abid. 3:2. Two teaspoonsful. Mix. If there is much inflammation and lameness, apply for twenty-four hours a flaxseed meal poultice to the sole of the foot. On removing the poultice, wash thoroughly and fill the cavity with warm shoemakers wax. Previously wetting the hands will prevent the wax sticking to the fingers. GREASE HEEL. This troublesome ailment, is the result of supurative inflammatory action of the skin and heels of the legs. DISEASES OF THE Horse. ore Ce Usually the hind leg. It is more frequently met with in coarse-bred, heavy, western horses, than in fine-bred horses. CAUSES :—Change of temperature, continuous driv- ing on sloppy streets or mudy roads, wet barnyards, stables, or lands. . SYMPTOMS:—Heels become swollen and crack open; small scabs form and are very painful and feverish. The horse when first starting, will lift the affected foot high and will be quite lame; but recovers from the lameness after traveling a short distance. This disease demands attention and treatment, before the case becomes aggrta- vated; at which time the swelling increases, cracks break across the heel, and a yellowish discharge exudes. Later on when the disease becomes more aggravated, it develops into what is termed the “grapy” stage, in which the flesh very much resembles a bunch of grapes. TREATMENT :—Keep the diseased parts clean and dry; do not clip the hair around the heels, as this invar- iably proves an irritant, and has been known as a cause of this disease.

H{eaves in horses is the same as asthma in man. * CAUSES:—Feeding on dusty clover hay; debility of the parvagum nerve. Large horses with small chests are more subject to this disease. Some authorities claim ae DISEASES OF THE Horse. that heaves is a hereditary disease. Overloading the stomach with bulky food, which causes distention of the stomach aggravates this disease. SYMPTOMS :—Heaves being a disease so thoroughly © known to the horse owner, we deem it unnecessary to con- sume space in describing it, therefore we will give our at- tention to the treatment. TREATMENT:—Keep the animal in the open air as much as possible; only shelter in bad or severe weather. Pasture diet is best for this disease. Use as little hay or rough feed as possible, but when this feed is all that is available, always dampen before feeding it. Give the feed in-small quantities.

They are most frequently caused by a slip, side fall, kicks, bruises, sprains and rheumatism. Shoulder lameness is common in young horses, when plowing in the furrow. To detect shoulder lameness from lameness in any other part of the body, take the leg which is lame by the pastern, and gently pull it straight out from the body of the horse in front, and gently to the out side; if it is shoulder lame- ness, the horse will show evidence of pain, and if it is a spirited animal, it will get up from the ground with the sound leg, and endeavor to wrest the lame leg from you. | TREATMENT:—Apply hot water cloths over the point of the shoulder, for one or two days. The length of time for the continuance of these applications, will be governed by the seriousness of the case. Apply our REMEDY. NO) $8: AS, DIREC Ti The farmer should never be without this remedy.

Espe- cially horses that are very hungry after a hard day’s work, 33 DISEASES OF THE HorsE. are inclined to gorge their stomachs with poorly masti- cated food. Cases do occur, occasionally, if the horse is left standing in the stable without sufficient exercise. » Idle- ness begets indigestion, and indigestion begets crib-biting. SYMPTOMS:—The stomach becomes distended both from food and gas. Pawing with the fore feet, laying down on its breast, trying to vomit; there are frequent eructions from the stomach. If the animal should sit upon its haunches, or if vomiting actually occurs, the symptoms are dangerous and a fatal termination may be expected. TREATMENT :—Sufficient action must be produced to throw off the contents of the stomach, therefore, give a physic prepared as follows: Powdered Barbadoes Aloes...... One ounce. Cee f- S s e e e e One drachm. We Serieuigee eg ik A ees kk cee S Three drachms. Mix. ' Give at one dose. If the above is not convenient, give one quart of raw linseed oil, as the stomach must be unloaded as quickly as possible. Injections of soap and watm water are beneficial A moderate amount of ex- ercise is also beneficial, and for several days after the at- tack feed the animal on soft feed, or easily digested food. INFLAMMATION OF THE BOWELS. (Enteritis. ) CAUSES:—Drinking cold water in large quantities when over-heated. Exposure to draughts. | Constipa- tion, diarrhoea, indigestion, overwork. Somteimes caused by colic when not properly treated. SYMPTOMS :—Acute continuous pain in the belly, in this respect differing from colic, (as in spasmodic colic the pain comes on in spasms with frequent ,intermissions.) DISEASES OF THE HORSE. 39 Pawing, uneasiness, shifting about, perspiring, breathing rapid, excessive fever, horse becomes very much excited, rolling and tumbling. There is a congested or red ap- © pearance of the nose, mouth and eyes, desire to drink small quantities of water. The expression of the eyes are staring and glassy. The ears and legs become cold. TREATMENT :—tThe first efforts are to lessen the _ pain immediately. To accomplish this administer our RE VED NOS As AS Dike lr wy. Apply hot applications to the belly, by wringing blank- ets from hot water (not warm) and'keep the hot blankets constantly over the bowels. But care must be exercised after discontinuing these applications, to protect the animal from exposure to cold or draughts by blanketing. Rub the legs briskly with alcohol and bandage with flannel. Give the following injection: one pint warm (not hot) soapsuds to which add small handful table salt. Should - the bowels not move, repeat the injection every half-hour until you have administered it four times. | When the ani- mal is recovering, soft food as bran mash, linseedmeal, etc:. should compose its diet. Exercise gently. Price of remedy No. 45, 75 cents. INFLAMMATION OF THE BLADDER. (Cystitis.) Cystitis is an inflammation of the mucus membrane lining the urinary bladder. The whole or part of the bladder may be involved. It mav be the result of foreign bodies, esnecially stones in the bladder. Protracted re- tention of the urine, or exposure to wet or cold while per- spiring will also cause it. 40 DISEASES OF THE HorsE. SYMPTOMS:—Inflammation of the bladder, is al- ways accompanied by frequent desire to pass urine, only a small amount being voided at each attempt; after its passage, the horse strains to pass what it immagines is still retained in the bladder. Evinces uneasiness by lying down and getting up again. Great tenderness under the belly over the bladder. Straddles while walking. TREATMENT:—Feed on bran mashes, and give flaxseed tea to drink; if the horse will not drink the tea, give asadrench. Give our REMEDY NO: s7 AS DIRECTED: Apply large poultices and very hot fomentations to the belly, over the bladder. Give plenty of cold water to drink.

(Nephritis. ) Inflammation of the kidneys is a disease of infrequent occurrence. It is produced by spraining the loins from pulling hard or being over-weighted. Being exposed to the cold when over heated, or from powerful blisters. An- other cause is, taking into the stomach medicines which are irritating to the kidneys. SYMPTOMS :—The animal roaches its back and strad- dles when walking. Symptoms of pain as in colic; lies down very carefully, urine highly colored and voided frequently. High fever, swelling of the legs; swelling dis- appears when the horse is exercised. TREATMENT :—Give the animal a comfortable place and blanket well.

Inflammation of the liver is more prevalent in horses that are highly fed, and have little to do. This disease ap- pears more frequently in a chornic form, than acute. SYMPTOMS:—Pain and lameness in the right shoul- der are characteristic of liver disease; the membranes of the eye, nose and mouth appear yellow, the bowels become 42 DISEASES OF THE HoRSE. constipated, and the dung is clay colored; urine scanty and high colored. If treatment for this disease is neglected, suppuration or an abcess will be formed, which breaks into the bowels, or becomes absorbed. The absorbtion of this pus is a prolific cause of glanders. TREATMENT :—Give our REMEDY NO. 95 AS DIRECTED. Feed the horse green and soft feed, which assists in producing a free action of the bowels. Price of remedy No. 95, $1.00. INFLAMMATION OF THE LYMPHATICS. (Lymphangitis.) Lymphangitis most frequently attacks coarse-bred, heavy horses. The lymphatic glands become gorged, and pour out the lymph into the blood vessels causing a swell- ing. which exhibits to the sense of feeling, irregular prom- inences under the skin. SYMPTOMS:—Irregular lumps under the skin. There is a stiffness of the part affected, accompanied with fever; in a few days the heat, pain and swelling will di- minish, and the horse will move more easily. TREATMENT :—Ii the case is mild, fomentations of warm water should be applied to relieve heat, tension, and pain; exercise moderately, and give soft feed, such as cut-mess, bran and green food, and the animal will recover in two or three days. Should the case be a severe one, the horse will re- quire immediate attention, as big leg frequently follows this disease when neglected. Therefore, it is necessary to give as.soon as possible, a physic composed of DISEASES OF THE HorsE. 3 43 Banbadoes Aloesi esi. eae): One ounce. Cee Yc Ashar ere ene iia ag: Ses Two drachms.

Lampas is a name applied to swelling of the gums of young horses, caused from teething; but may occur at any age from diseases of the stomach, most frequently from indigestion. TREATMENT:—When colts are teething, it is ad- visable to pinch the gums with the nail of the thumb until they bleed, and rub on a little table salt. This is much better than burning the mouth with hot irons, the effect which, the animal never forgets or forgives, as is shown afterwards, in any attempt to do anything about its head. In old horses, as soon as the stomach is in healthy condition, the gums will cease to give annoyance. There- fore, it will be necessary to treat the stomach to effect a cure. LUNG FEVER—INFLAMMATION OF THE LUNGS. (Pneumonia.) CAUSES :—The exciting causes of lung fever is be- lieved to be a micro-organism, yet its positive identifica- tion is not assured. Lung fever is generally endemic, though it may become . epidemic. Frequently, however, when it appears to be epidemic, it will be found that the horses affected have been exposed to the same depressing influences. Among the predisposing causes, age ranks first. There are three periods in the horses life, in which the liability to lung fever is greatest: Colts; horses between — the ages of eight to ten years, and after fifteen years old. The general bodily condition at and before the lung fever seizure, has but little predisposing influence. It is a question whether the stronger or the weak are oftenest SOLAN DISEASES OF THE HOoRrRsE. 45 attacked. One attack of lung fever predisposes to others. When lung fever follows a severe blow or injury to the chest, the injury must be looked on as a predisposing cause. Cold does not effect the lung fever rate, except in colts and old horses. March and April statistics usually, exhibit the highest lung fever rate. Colts and old horses are greatly depressed by the intense cold of winter, and the chilling winds of March and April. SYMPTOMS: Generally the horse is seized with a chill, which usually occurs in the night. This chill is intense and lasts from one-half of an hour to three hours. — A distinct chillis less frequent in lung fever of an old horse; yet when an old horse has a marked chill, lung fever may always be suspected.
