SYMPTOMS.—Lameness, with heat in the foot and tenderness on pressure. In some cases, no matter will be found, but in others a black serous or purulent discharge will issue from the wound when opened, and the sole will probably be underrun. TREATMENT.—If there is simply _heat of the foot_ and _lameness_, remove the shoe, see that all nails or parts of nails, or other foreign substance is taken out. Apply and keep the foot wet with HUMPHREYS’ MARVEL WITCH HAZEL and give the A.A., once in three hours, to reduce the inflammation. If matter has formed, LET IT OUT. Apply the VETERINARY OIL to the hole or orifice, and give A.A. and B.B., in alternation, a dose four times per day, and later the B.B. and I.I., to dry up the discharge. If the horse is required for work before the horn has covered the wound, a leather sole and the VETERINARY OIL dressing must be used. Quittor This is a deep, narrow ulcer, opening upon the coronet, and leading into an abscess in the foot. It may be caused by treads, or overreaches, or corns, but most commonly from prick of a nail or other sharp substance. It is attended with more or less lameness; heat and pain in the foot, and discharge of matter from the open wound. But if it has been caused by the matter from a corn, the coronet above the heel will have upon it a hard, painful swelling, which afterward becomes softer and larger. TREATMENT.—If the quittor arises from a wound of the sole or prick, after the wounded part has been pared out and poulticed, then with a probe gently find out the direction and number of pipes, and with a fine syringe, inject HUMPHREYS’ MARVEL WITCH HAZEL of full strength into the opening, two or three times per day. The VETERINARY OIL is better if you can get it into the opening. When it arises from a corn in the heel, and matter has got into the coronet, the swelling must be cut into and the discharge let out; then poultice night and morning, inject the MARVEL as before, rasp down the wall of the hoof until it yields to the pressure of the thumb, and put on a bar-shoe. Roll a bandage around the coronet to keep the dirt out from the quittor. If there is some considerable heat and fever, the A.A., may come in play giving fifteen drops four times per day. But the I.I., should be given, fifteen drops three times per day, at first, and then morning and night. Spavin
