The caustic may be occasionally changed. To destroy thefetor, chloride of zinc or chloride of lime may be dusted on, or evenoccasional dressings of dry lime will be useful. With a dressing oftar, in which verdigris and nitric acid, two drachms of each to onepound of tar, are well mixed, and applied with a degree of firm press-ure, at least every second day, the worst cases can be 5-iS DISEASES AND THEIR TREATMENT. Moderate work, if it can be done without the foot getting wet,will expedite a cure. The following is highly recommended as adressing: Take equal parts of pine tar and lard, melt over a slowfire, and add sulphuric acid very slowly until ebullition (boiling)ceases. Apply this to the parts. SPRAINS, BRUISES, ETC. Sprains are so common, and so liable to spoil a horse whenneglected or not treated properly, and in addition the treatment i:so simple and easily applied, that the subject is worthy of more thanordinary attention. On this account I have introduced several il-lustrations, showing the parts in the fore legs that are most liable tosuch injury.
