THRUSH. 95 



Though there are undoubtedly instances of 

 such defects being what are termed natural 

 blemishes ; but the mode of treatment will 

 be similar and effective. The putrid, rag- 

 ged, or rotten part of the frog should be con- 

 stantly pared away, as should also the hoof 

 that bears upon the defective parts. The 

 bottom of the foot should be frequently 

 washed with warm water particularly after 

 coming into the stable ; and, when dry, the 

 whole frog moistened slightly with tincture 

 of myrrh. The feet should be constantly 

 stopped with a composition of the following 

 proportion : 



Cow dung, seven pounds; 



Vinegar and chamber-lje, of each one pint. — Mix. 



If the complaint displays (by its depth or 

 foetidity) a degree of inveteracy, assist with 

 the following diuretic balls : 



Take "white soap, eight ounces ; 



Nitre and rosin (in powder) of each three ounces ; 



Canfphor and oil of juniper, of each three drachms ; 

 form the mass into half a dozen balls, and let 

 one be given every, or every other, morning. 

 as the state of the case requires.
