 of grain.

40. — On Administering an Enema 



Take a piece of leather and sew it like a bag, that is, like a masJiMza or 

 traveller's water-bag, and then insert a tube into one end. Use this as 

 an enema. Take castor oil and one fourth the quantity of earth-salt, and 

 mix well with warm water ; use this as an injection. 



41. — To STOP Excessive Purging 



Take 2 ozs. each of sweet fennel, cumin ^ seeds, and black pepper. 

 Fry these a little and pound fine and add sufficient water to make into 

 a bolus. Divide the bolus into two, giving the halves to the horse one 

 after the other. 



If the above does not prove effective give the following, which is 

 better : — 



Fried assafoetida ^ oz., ghi 2 ozs., sdthl^ rice 4 ozs. ; pound, mix and 

 make into a bolus and then give to the horse. 



42. — To Cause an Enemy's Horse to fall Sick and also to Cause 

 the Same to Recover 



Take equal quantities of croton seed and crude opium; grind 

 together with water and put into a cup ; paint this on the horse's 

 testicles, or on its anus, or on its lips. The horse will get restless, and 

 neither eat, drink, nor sleep, and if a remedy be not soon applied it 

 may die. 



Cure : — Take tamarisk leaves ; boil and wash the places with that 

 frequently. Item: — Curds and water mixed are a substitute for the 

 tamarisk, but the latter acts quicker.
