About This Book

A practical manual for farmers that catalogs common diseases of horses and horned cattle, describing recognizable symptoms to enable early detection and presenting step-by-step treatments and household remedies. It treats external afflictions such as swellings and ulcers as well as internal disorders including various colics, specifying topical and oral preparations, dosages, and application techniques. The text emphasizes plain language, accessible ingredients, and careful observation so owners can manage many ailments themselves rather than relying solely on professional farriers.

Directions for Use:—Dose for a full grown animal, one tablespoonful once or twice a day, as the case may require.

This powder cannot be excelled, it is an excellent medicine for all derangements of the system, it is perfectly harmless, and should be fed sometime in all chronic and lingering diseases, or at least until entirely relieved, and the system put in perfect health. No animal can thrive unless in health. Therefore every farmer should adopt the rule to feed all his stock, and especially those which he wishes to fatten with some of these powders; by so doing you will save feed and time. In fattening, feed on offal.

Directions:—For a full grown sheep, dose, 1 teaspoonful once or twice a day, as the necessity of the case may require. Feed on offal.
