DISEASES. 119 Tyaatment 1 he best plan for curing this disease in horses, is as fol- lows : Take fine seji-sand, such as is used by stable-men for scouring steel bits, and rub the affected parts well for a few minutes. Then wash the parts well with good soap and water, and a brush, after which dry them carefully. Then anoint with the following ointment: Powdered sulphur, one ounce; hog's lard, two ounces; mix. The following is more cleanly : Xiver of sulphur, or hepar of sulphur, two to three ounces; cold water, one quart; mix, and make a wash. This plan, with either of these mixtures properly applied, will not only kill the insect, but will effect a cure. This disease has baffled many who have attempted its cure without first reaching the insect, by, scouring him out of his cov- ering, and killing him with sulphur—a highly destructive article to para- sitic life. Observe, This disease is contagious. StaU-posts, mangers, harness, combs, brushes, etc., used about the horse, should be subjected to great .leat either by boiling or steaming. Trees, gates and rubbing-posts in the field, sliould be washed with water, and coated with a mixture of sulphur, lime and water. (3.)

By close inspection, large numbers of minute eleva- tions, or raised parts, closely joining each other, and filled with a watery fluid, will be observed ; the skin will soon present a red and angry look, the hair be short and dry, acco
