1t is probable that your horse has what
is called summer sores" which have been
traced to the presence of a parasite similar
to the mango insect. First place the horse
in a cool place and shower cold water
over him. Rub on each sore with iodaforn
and cover this with layer of collodion.
Repeat every twenty-four hours, for two
weeks or until the sores heal up. Or you
may use ether. or chloroform, in place of
the iodaform, by pouring IL on cotton and
applying il, then covering with collodion.
