COLLAR PAD
Warranted to prevent Chafing, and to cure the worst cases of Sore Neck, the Medicinal and Cooling Properties of the Zinc Metal being a sure Guarantee against Chafing.
MANUFACTORY,
BUCHANAN, MICHIGAN.
Communications will receive Prompt Attention.
THE ZINC COLLAR PAD is fully warranted to cure any chafed or galled neck, if directions for use in the hands of dealersare followed.
They must be kept clean by scouring the part that wears on the animal's neck, whenever they become coated over with matter from the sore, or with sweat and dirt. Ashes, fine sand or anything that will clean them without scratching will answer. They must also be " COVERED" over the " TOP" with " CLOTH" or "LEATHER" sufficient to fully SHADE them. These directions are indispensable in the use of the pad.
The medicinal virtue of the Zinc is lost if coated over with other matter, and they become heated when exposed to the rays of the sun.
The chemical action of sheet Zinc, with the acid and saline constituents of muist sores, results in a mild astringent, acting more speedily on the edges of the wound, and by its smooth surface and cooling tendency, quickly produces a cure.
An American surgeon in Europe, in speaking of the treatment of the wounded with ZINC FotL in the French and German hospitals during their war, says the result from this mode of treatment seemed perfectly marvelous, leaving always a clean, healthy, granulating surface. The Zinc seemis to act through the oxide which it forms in contact with pus, and exerts a most healthy influence upon the wound. These are facts, and stubborn things. This, with five years' experience, and the use of over a mihon of our Zinc pads, have fully demonstinted that Ein ; has no equal in Metal in safe, curative pro- perties on the horse. There can be no danger with Zinc on the most irritated sores while there is with other soft metals. And we are safe in saying, very few things ever met with such general favor, or gave such general satisfaction, until they have become a standard article of Saddlery Hardware, and are kept for sale by most of the leading Saddlery Houses in the United States, taking the place of all sub- stitutes that have been brought out to compete with them. All we ask is, that horsemen favor us by following the directions for use. We fully wariant the rest.
