flammation mould be guarded againft by bleeding, and the life of nitrous mafhc/, 

 &c. Where circular bandages can be applied they will be found ufeful. 



Wounds from punctures, as of nails, thorny &c. may be drefled by lint dip 

 ped in the tincture of myrrh, and fecured by adhefive plu fter; the hair being firft 

 clipped away; and the furrounding parts ihould be well bathed with a campho 

 rated embrocation. 



Greafy applications of all kinds mould be cautioufly avoided in thefe cafes. 



Irrbruifes, where the fkin remains unbroken, the ufe of difcutient faturninc 

 camphorated wafhes is in general the mofl advifable. 



Strains take place in different parts in the Ae/diW,lhcy may often be removed by 

 the application of camphorated preparations, as an embrocation compofed of a pint 

 of camphorated liniment, half a pint of opodeldoc, and four ounces of Barbadocs 

 tar, well mixed together, and made ufe of two or three times a day, after bleeding 

 from the plate vein. 



When in the knee&amp;gt; back-fineiv, or fetlock , much advantage has been found from 

 the application of a cold faturnine poultice to the part, and from a flannel roller 

 pafTed round the leg, and kept constantly Wet with a wafh compofed of two 

 ounces of crude fal ammoniac, diffolved in a pint of vinegar, with two quarts of

 been rubbed off, the compound tincture of myrrh may be ufeful. As tumors 

 and bruifes of this fort often arife from the faddle s not fitting perfectly, by which 

 extraneous fubftances are infinuated, great care fliould be taken in this refpect. 



Colds,and complaints of that fort, may be beft removed,when mild,byreft, and 

 the ufe of mafhes of bran two or three times a day ; and, when more violent, by 

 bleeding, and the giving of balls compofed of calomel and antimonial powder, 

 each one drachm, powdered nitre one ounce, and treacle fufficient for making them 

 into a ball, which ihould be waflied down with two or three pints of warm oatmeal

 drachm of camphor, one fcruple of antimonial powder, with one ounce each of
