PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in the Treatment of Horses, Cattle, and like Animals,
for Protecting them from Cold, Heat, Wet, and Changes of
Weather generally.
We ISAAC SHIMWELL MCDOUGALL and JAMES THOMAS MCDOUGALL both
of 10 Mark Lane in the City of London, Manufacturing Chemists do hereby declare
the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
Horses, cattle and like animals both fully grown and young are liable to be
injuriously affected by cold, heat, wet, wind and changes of weather generally
especially when out at pasture or in yards, or imperfect shelters and it is the object
of this invention to provide means whereby such injurious effects are prevented or
lessened. This we attain by applying to them either over the whole of their bodies
or over part thereof a suitable oil or mixture of oils which we have found affords a
very useful protection against excessive cold, or heat, wind rain and changes of
weather generally..

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in the Treatment of Horses, Cattle, and like Animals,
for Protecting them from Cold, Heat, Wet, and Changes of
Weather generally.
We ISAAC SHIMWELL MCDOUGALL and JAMES THOMAS MCDOUGALL both
of 10 Mark Lane in the City of London Manufacturing Chemists do hereby declare
the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be performed to be
particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement:—
Horses, cattle and like animals both fully grown and young are liable to be
injuriously affected by cold, heat, wet, wind and changes of weather generally
especially when out at pasture or in yards or imperfect shelters and it is the object
of this invention to provide means whereby such injurious effects are prevented or
lessened. This we attain by applying to them either over the whole of their bodies
or over part thereof a suitable oil or mixture of oils which we have found affords a
very useful protection against excessive cold or heat, wind, rain and changes of
weather generally.
Whilst not limiting ourselves to any oil or mixture of oils, except as hereinafter
stated we may mention that we have obtained good results from the use of cotton
seed oil alone as well as by the use of a mixture in equal proportions of palm oil,
cocoa-nut oil, lard and cotton-seed oil. The oil or mixture of oils may be applied
in any convenient manner to the animals for example by sponging or by painting it
over their coats and parts to be protected.
Mineral oils we have found not to be suitable for the purposes of this
invention.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what we
claim is :-
The treatment of horses, cattle and like animals for protecting them from cold,
