FOR CRACKED OR SORE HEELS.
To cure these, there is nothing better than the Zinc Ointment of the last Pharmacopœia of the London College of Physicians.
At night wash the Heels clean first, and then rub in a little of the Ointment with your fingers, and tie a bit of linen rag round it. Take it off when he goes out. On his return home, wash his Heels, and repeat the above application. In ten days or a fortnight it will effect a complete cure, if your Horse be in good Health.
For Cracked Heels, the following is recommended:—
Take Soap Liniment, an ounce and a half;
Camphorated Spirit, an ounce;
Oil of Turpentine, half an ounce.
Mix.
DIURETIC BALLS FOR SWELLED HEELS, ETC.
Take Yellow Resin, one pound;
