Sometimes from cold or injury, the teats in mares are subject to inflammatory swelling. A few doses, ten drops each, of A. A., for FEVER, will relieve, and if the parts seem quite tender, bathe them with HUMPHREYS’ MARVEL WITCH HAZEL or apply the VETERINARY OIL. Ringworm Ringworm is a disease caused by a vegetable parasite, or fungus, which lives on hair follicles and the hair itself. SYMPTOMS.—It makes its appearance most frequently on the seat of the saddle, on the croup or flanks and sometimes on the head. The spots range in size from a dime to a half dollar and usually form a fairly regular circle. The hair has fallen out or is broken off and there is a scaling of the skin inside the circle. The surrounding hair can easily be pulled out. Itching is generally absent. TREATMENT.—Same as for mange. (See Mange page 23). Lice Horses taken up from a straw yard, with long, shaggy coats, in poor condition, are sometimes found infested with lice. CAUSE.—Contagion. SYMPTOMS.—The animal is seen continually biting his sides and quarters, rubs himself against walls and posts, or anything within his reach, denuding the skin of hair in patches and making it bleed. On close examination we have no difficulty in discovering the lice in bare patches. TREATMENT.—The horse should be removed from the other animals. The stalls, blankets, etc., that he has used should be thoroughly cleaned by boiling water and a five per cent solution of creolin or lysol, to destroy the lice which will cling to stalls, blankets, etc. The horse should be washed with green soap and water and kerosene (Coal Oil) should be applied night and morning for two days and then removed by soap and water. This must be done three times at intervals of a week, in order to kill the new generations of lice which hatch from the eggs in about six days. Tubercles These small, sluggish swellings are caused by friction, contusion, cold, stings of insects, internal disease, etc. TREATMENT.—If they are the result of external violence, HUMPHREYS’ MARVEL WITCH HAZEL or VETERINARY OIL, applied externally, is beneficial. The I. I., may be given with advantage morning and night. Sponge This term is given to a round, spongy excresence on the knee, generally caused by some external injury. It is at first a hot, painful swelling; then becomes a cold, hard, indolent tumor. It sometimes occasions considerable itching and emits purulent matter. TREATMENT.—If sponge arises from some injury, the VETERINARY OIL should be well rubbed in, two or three times a day; or applied morning and night; at the same time, also administer I. I., morning and night. Sweating
