The injection may consist of four quarts of thin grUel, in which 

 two table spoonfuls of salt have been dissolved. 



The Horse should be placed in a loose staJl or any out-house, 

 where he may have room to move about freely; and this circum* 

 stance it is of the utmost consequence to attend to, forasmuch as 

 the application of all other means of cure^ will prove of compara- 

 tive insignificance, provided the animal have not the advantage, of 

 g*entle voluntary motion. 



If the Horse be accustomed to be cloathed he should remain in 

 that state ; and in severe weather, even if unaccustomed to cloathing^ 

 it will be of advantage to him. But, most of all, is it necessary, 

 that he should breathe a pure cool atmosphere, and, therefore, even 

 in winter, but, more especially in summer, there should be a complete 

 ventilation of the building he is placed in. Generally, it happens 

 that after bleeding and opening the bowels, the symptoms are much 

 relieved ; but, if the burning heat of the skin, or excessive lame- 

 ness should yet remain, it would be adviseable to foment the swollen 

 inflamed parts, with flannels dipped in a strong hot decoction of 

 Chammomile, IMarshmallows, Rosemary, or any of the common 

 garden herbs, (usually had recourse to for fomentations,) twice a day, 

 for fifteen minutes at a time. Two days after the physic has done 

 working, the Horse should begin a course of the following alterative 

 balls, giving one every night. 



Take of Sulphat of Mercury, half a Drachm, 



Powder of Gum Guaicum, ... 1 Drachms, 

 of Cinnamon, (compound) 

 Liquorice, 

 Venice Turpentine, of each 2 Drachms, 

 Honey, sufficient to make a ball.
