It is used in complaints of horses and cattle; such as hard swellings, wens, ringbone, thorough-pin, windgalls, splint, spavin, curbs, and many hard knots or excrescences. It is excellent in every variety of lameness, and in sweany it may be considered a specific. It dispenses the pollevil and fistula, if applied at their first appearance.

Liniment" in a letter dated August 7, 1868 from Abram Miller Henkel to Caspar Coiner Henkel. |
