Iyingworm-
Ringworm is a contagious disease of a
parasitical nature, produced by the growth
in +'aha skin a0, vegetable faugus. Its be•
ginning and progress remind one of the
spread of fire in prairie grass, -Erma point
it weeds outeregal h a rt r'e or lees regular
ring of reddish infta,rntnetton, subeidiag fa
the caps re ee it spreads outward, as if the
material necessaryfor its eoatinuanee a a
single spot were soon exhausted,
It attacks all parts of the body, but is
most commonly found on the face, thee bank
of the hands and the scalp.
Children contract it oftener than adults,
probably lieeause then skin is more tender,
and, because peculiar opportunity is afforded
for direct contact of the person in schools
and other planes where children congregate.
The disease is commonly spread by means
of cepa and other articles of clothing, and
by combs.
When it attacks the scalp the hairs be,
come dry, brittle and twisted, and fall out.
The ends next the skin look rough, as
though bitten or gnawed off:
Since ringworm is parasitical in its origin,
it ini.ht be supposed thst measures of sim-
ple eleaztliness would remove it or prevent
itsoecurrence ; but while such measeres
hinder its spread to some extent, its thor-
ough removal is effected only by remedies
aimed et the destruction of the parasite.
This is a much more serious task than it
would be if the growth of the fungus took
place directly ul,ou the surface et the skin.
It is therefore important that the treatment
should be exactly fitted to the peounariies
of the particular case.
It is the more important that professional
advice should be sought, because the occur -
react,: of ring worm is often associated with
a degree of systemic debility or insufficient
nutrition. Some of the most rapid awl per-
manent recoveries from this troublesome
disease are obtained when, in addition to
proper medical treatment, the patient is
sent away from home fora time though the
distance be blit slight.
A writer in a recent:nedioal review says
that when ringworm appears in a school,
rigid measures should be taken to. prevent
its spread, as the disease, though apparently
easily cured, is apt to recur, and if neglect-
ed, to become more or less chronic.

NVaiting of hospital experienoea during
the war, Samuel R. Elliot says in the New
England Magazine; Having absolute con-
trol of my hospital, I very soon instituted a
series of experiments,
e speedily found that patients in Iron.

life must avoid too concentrated food, eon.
tent themselves with less variety ; and
drink abundantly of, dilutent fluids ; that
coffee acted upon the liver and was alto-
gether the hest remedy for constipation and
what was called a bilious condition ; that
tea usually acted in precisely the opposite
iirsction, namely, as an a stringent ; that
lot poppies nor mandragora nor all the
drowsy syrups of the East could bring the
peace to a sufferer from a malarial chill that
would come of strong coffee, with a little
lemon„ juice added ; that strong tea was
inmost a specific for neuralgia, in its simple
uncomplicated forst ; while turnips were
found to be almost a specific in the simpler
types at rheumatism common to young men,
where the only predisposing cause was ex-
posure to the elements, It soon became
apparent that the nulder types of intermit-
tent fever disappeared during the tomato
season ; whereas certain langours and pains,
having their origin in the de-nitrogenizing
viscera, were relieved and abated by the
free use of asparagus.
Raving read that many years before the
soldiers of the United States army, in some
remote cantonment, had been fed on broad
from unbolted flour, and the increased
health and encieney of that detachment
having attracted a great deal of attention
and given a boon to the then famous
Graham movement in dietetics, that too
was tried, with, in the main, satisfactory
results.
With the milk diet for worn and exhaust-
ed patients we had such a signal success
that, whenever practicable, it was adopted
for many forms of indigestion and mil -nu-
trition, some of my patients declaring that
they had not felt so well since they were
eaned.
Dandruff.
Dandruff is simply a dry catarrh of the
scalp. It is a condition in which the cells
of the skin are thcown off too profusely. The
skin is composed of three layers, -the true
skin, that next to the muscles ; the pigment
layer ; and the dead cells, or scarf skin, on
the ontsrde. Witli a sharp knife you can
scrape off the outer layer, in the form of
little white scales. It may not be general-
ly known that man is an animal with scales
like a fish, but if you will examine this
white scurf with the microscope, you will
find that it is composed of scales similar to
those of a fish. And these extend all over
the body.
When one takes a turkish bath, these
scales are softened up, and are rubbed orf
in the shampoo, so that, to a certain extent
the person is skinned.` These scales are rub-
bed off by the clothing, and come in con-
tact with other bodies. This process is
goingon all the time, and those parts of the
body which are most exposed and have the
most attrition with external bodies, are
kept the.nost thoroughly cleansed and free
from this condition of dandruff. You will
never find scales in the palm of the hand,.
because frequent contact with various ob.
jects keeps the dead scales rubbed off, and
the palm free.
But onthe head, where the hair prevents
this exposure of the skin directly in con-
tact with outside bodies, these scales are
greet in
retained numbers. g num ars. Especially is
this soh n the head is covered much w e v c of the
time by a hat or bonnet. :i he scales are
thrown off, but they are held about the roots
of, the hair, andin this way one may have an
aceumlationof dandruff even when the skin
is healthy. In this case, the remedy con-
sists in brushing the scalp thoroughly and
frequently. Most people make the mistake
of brushing the hair ; it is not the hair that
needs to be brushed, but the scalp. This
is very important for the; health of the scalp.
You will notice that the good barber puts
aside the hair with his finger, and follows:
his finger with the brush, until ° he has
brusbed the entire scalp in this way. By
this means the scalpis thoroughly cleaned.
Tho scalp, should be blushed in this way at
least threeor
e four times aweeh, in. order
to keep it free from dandruff; or froni those
scales whish are constantly being thrown
off'.

causes itching of the arms and legs, parti.,

the scales have a tendency to ac;umulate,

Although, writes H. D. Gill, the celebrated
VeterinarSurgeon, accordtn
toth
a d
is-
tionary, one of he efinitionsof a jockey
is " a man who rides a horse race," there
are other definitions which describe a jock-
ey as "a cheat ; one who deceivesor takes
undue advantage in' trade." Other defi-
nitions of the word are "to cheat; to trick;
to jostle by riding against" All horse
dealers are not absolutely dishonest, but
there is certainly a very large proportion
of men whose business is to sell horses, or
to make money out of them in races, who
do engage in very questionable practices in
order to advance their interests. The ethic-
al philosophy of the horse.trader may be
summed up in the saying, 'f your eyes are
your cheat," meaning that you must use
your own judgment in a "horse deal" and
not believe everything be tells you.
Horses are " doctored un" not only for
the purposes of sale, but for racing
purposes, not always, or very often for
the better class of races, but for the hun-
dreds of competitions that take place at state
and county fairs and on private racing
grounds in the rural districts, These re-
marks I shall make, therefore, about
remedying the defects of horses will apply
not only to horse dealers engaged in selling
and trading horses, but to the jockeys of
the turf ; because it is often the case that
a very poor animal, of good stock, can
with the assistance of artificial methods
win or lose a race. He may die half an
hour after the contest but if he comes in a
winner his owner will be satisfied.
If a horse has a chronic lameness in
either foot the jockey can inject into the
foot a solution of cocaine which, for the
time being, will render the horse sound
that is, it will dull the sensibility to pain
for from hall an hour to an hour and a half
and the horse will act as it he was sound.
Another method in a case like this is to
sever the nerves of the foot, there being
two nerves, one on each side of the foot.
This deprives the lower part of the limb of
all sensation and the horse will go sound
for perhaps a year when the nerves will
form together again.
Foundered horses are made sound by
nerving them in the manner just described,
and keeping them in a soaking tub or mud -
box, By this method the inflammation is
allayed for a day, In railroad car stables
they have a series of mud -stalls forfourtd-
erod and sore -footed horses and in which
twenty can stand at a time. One day they
work them and the next day they put them
in this box. If the animals were worked
two consecutive days they would be so sore
footed from traveling over the stones that
they would be unfit for use. Such horses are
generally shod with as heavy a shoe as they
can possibly carry, because the heavier the
iron the lighter the concussion of the foot on
the ground. It is on the same principle as if I
pat a sheet -iron on your knee ; a good blow
would break your knee, but if I put an
anvil on your knee and bit a heavy blow
on that it would not hurt you. For found-
ered horses that come down with the heel
first they use a rock -shoe, having a roller
motion, so that when the heel strikes the
foot will roll instead of striking the, pave.
meat abruptly.
There is no such thing as chest pounder,
The trouble commonly called by that name
is due to the wasting away of the muscles,
on accountof atrophy or insufficient use of
the limb, caused by lameness in the foot.
At horse sales and races before the ani-
mal is brought out he is made to appear
"lively." Before he is taken from the
stable a man, staving saturated his finger
with turpentine or capsicum, will insert it
at the lower extremity of the elimentary
canal. This will have the effect of snaking.
the horse carry his tail in very fine shape.
It makes him "lively" simply on account of
the pain the agent causes.
If a horse has a spavin before he is brought
out he is jostled about for a while. If a
horse is troubled with spavin the first few
steps or movements he makes are very lame
and labored, but when he is once in action
he becomes gradually better. Anyone may
be always suspicions of a horse if a man
cracks a whip over him and makes him
"dance around" in the stall. This is done
for the purpose of limbering the horse up,
especially if he has a, spavin.
The leopard may not be able to change
his spots, but a good jockey can take an
animal and make him a horse of another
color. He will use nitrate of silver (peroxide
of hydrogen) to bleach differentparts of the
body so as to make a team match. Suppose
you have a team of sorrels, one had a silver
tail and mane and the other had not. The
jockey would bleach the tail and mane of
the latter. If a star was wanted in the fore-
head he could put it there or produce for
yon a white nose, one or more white
legs, bleaching them so as to make them
match. If a horse's tail is not big enough
or symmetrical he can switch in some false
tail just as the ladies do with their hair.
A horse will show his age by the hollow-
ness over his eyes. In such a case the jockey
will introduce a little tube and, by browing
in air, will cause the hollows to puff up,
and if the chest or shoulder of a horse is
atrophied --what is known as sweeney of the
shoulder -'—he will introduce a little tube
and blow up the skin. This condition to a
horse can always be detected by pulling the
skin which will crackle under the touch ;
it will not have the solid feeling of flesh.
In regard to teeth young horses, natural-
ly, have what is known as_" cups," exceva-
trans marked black, which hich discpp ear when
theybecome older, kein worn
Thejockey,
e
to rnisleadtbose who areinterested in horses,
wil1artiiflcia1lydcavate or cutout the surfcae
of the teeth and blacken them with nitrate
of silver. This can always be stitched in a
"bishoped mouth," es it is called, by the
absence of the: ring of enamel around anis
black cup, it being always present in young
horses.
The shape of a horsa's teeth from youth
to acre are oval, then triangular, then flat-
tened do the sides.; the latter being the
shape of the tooth itself. ' The root is very
narrow and as the tooth wears off, it as.
slimes that shape.
But there are horse jockey tricks especial-
ly rats a running
ly connected. with . races. In ru ng
race suppose a trainer wants his:horse to
lose. To mislead the public 11e will hire a
good jockey,,and, just before the animal goes
to the post, he will give him a pailful of
i
the at r. This of course causes 1 e
w ohorse,
be ore he goe,s vety far, to feel troubled
ed
about his wind and, in jockey parlance, he
is called "a deal horse." The jockey is
not Supposed to know anything about. this
proceeding.. A pail of water, or some ano-
dyne like opium will be sufficient to make
a horse "fogey" and lazy and cause hint to
lose a rage which he would otherwise win,
Sometimes a pebble or a nail will be put
upder a horse's shoe to cause him to go lame
so that the owner can scratch hien. Of
course the stewards of a racing club donot
allow a horse to be scratched unless there
is a very good excuse. But if an owner
does not want his horse to run he can put
sortie foreign body under the shoe, or tie a
string around the ankle pretty tight,which
muses the leg to swell, and the horse to. be
lame the next morning.
An injection of hydro -chlorate of cocaine
is often put into horses to make them run'
faster and undoubtedly it does have that
effect. This is the same medicine, the
leaves of which Weston, the pedestrian,
used to chew, when he made his long jour-
neys. To show the efficiency of this trick.
will say that the preparation was once
introduced into a horse called "Spartacus."
He was a very well -fared animal but wind-
broken. A half a dram of this solution was
introduced hyberdermically. A. strongman
was put on the horse's back with orders to
jog him until the half mile post and then
lot him go for a mile. The horse went along
easily for the first half mile then took the.
bit and ran steadily for five miles, the
jockey being obliged, from sheer exhaustion,
to fall ori. The horse was finally stopped
by a row of men standing across the track.
The effect of this injeetion generally lasts
for about half an hour. It is used a great
deal:
At the horse -killing establishment on.
Long Island, I onoeexperimentod with this
medioine, A number of old horses were
brought in and two of them dropped from
sheer exhaustion half a mile from the es.
tablishment. They could not make the
animals move. We gave each of them an
injection of cocaine, and, in five minutes,
they got on their feet and not only appear-
ed strong but actually ran and appeared
very lively. This illustrates the stimulat-
ing effect of the drug.
Electricity is also used to increase a
horse's speed. A jockey will parry a
battery attached to a belt around his body,
the conductors passing to the spurs on each
oot. The application of the spurs: to the
side of the animal completes the circuit
and transmits to the horse's body the
electrical impulse and induces the animal to
greater speed. Several jockeys have been
discovered using this appliance.
Running horses are nerved for lameness
in the foot. They are troubled with joint
and tendon troubles, particularly the
ligaments and tendons of the front -limbs.
"Breaking down" on the race track is a
rupture of the suspensory ligament of either
one or both the front feet,
In riding a race the jockeys will jostle
one another and eat one another down. A
jockey will try to throw his companion
over the fence by putting his foot under the
foot of the other jockey and lifting itim off
the saddle,
They will foul one another by runninglr
regularly across in front. When they think
a jookeyis, going to hurl them, if the jock-
ey uses his whip In his right hand, another
will come up so close to him as to make it
impossible for him to strike the horse with
the whip.
One or two jockeys in it rage will also coin.
bine to defeat another by what is called
placing him"in a pocket," i.e. keeping him.
behind and giving him no chance to get
through. Because to do so he would
be obliged to go around tho horses,
which would, very often, throw the horse
off leis stride, which the horse would be un-
able to catch again until he had covered con-
siderable
onsiderable ground.
It iss very common for jockeys to make
fake starts. They will purposely make a
number of these to tire out their adversar-
ies. There are generally some hard -mouth-
ed horses in a race and during these false
starts they run away for a quarter or half
a mile; become tired and thereby reduce
their chance of winning. Jockeys always
try to get the advantage of one another in
the start. It often occurs that a starter is.
obliged to fine every jockey in the race,
particularly the short distance rase where
a good start is an important factor.
