finger Seems to he a hard Eristle. Please
let me know what you think about ii.
The hard lump YOU describe is probably
what is called splnt. 1t is an enlargement
Of the bone 20 which / t adheres and is
caused by slipping. kicks, running ana
other means 10y which n blow is inflicted.
a splint usually causes lameness while
Il Is growing, which disappears after it
becomes hard when first discovered the
proper treatment is to apply either hot
or cold water for an hour at time, two
or three times a day, followed by n cooling
lotion composed of ; ounce each of muriate
Of ammonia and saltpeter, dissolved IN |
quart Of water. Repeat for two or three
days. or until all soreness is nearly gone.
zen make n blister ointment OF one
fourth ourca powdered cantharides'
dram Of biniodide of mercury and ounces
Of lard. and rub well in once a day until
well blistered. Then dress with lard.
