Obferving in your piiblication (No. XII.) for November 

 laft, a recipe to cure the bloody urine in horned cattle, I take 

 the liberty of communicating one that has been fuccefsfully 

 ufed during the long practice of a neted cow do6lor, now dead, 

 communicated to me by his fon, a clergyman -, and which, for 

 upwards of twenty years, I have not known to fail in one fingle 

 zaftance. Yours, &c.

To cure the Bloody Urine j commonly called Red-Water. 



For a cow, take four ounces of oil of turpentine, and one ounce 

 of bole armt;n:c, powdered, given cold in one quart of blue milk ; 

 afterwards rinfe the horn and bowl the ingredients were mixed 

 in, with one quart of fpring water, and adminifter to the beaft; 

 then let her faft two hours, when (he may be turned out to eat 

 and drink as Ihe pleafes. If (he is coftive, give half an ounce 

 of julap in an Englifli quart meafure of new ale, with half a 

 pound of treacle, pretty warm. 



N. B. For an ox five ounces of the above, a bull fix ounces : 

 but thefe dofes are too flrong for any beait under two years.

 nor would it be proper that the generality of mankind fhould 

 found upon every experience of fuch a fingular perfonage as my-
