190 TRAINING. 



After a sweat, he must be quickly led home, 

 — not to have other jhools heaped upon him, but 

 all the lather immediately scraped off with nice 

 bamboo hoops, not too sharp. The wisping 

 must then instantaneously succeed, or there is 

 great fear of his taking cold. When cleaned, 

 and the jhool put on, give the cordial, if you 

 think it required, and then mix half a wine- 

 glass of ghee, not oil, with half a wine-glass 

 of brandy, and, immediately the legs are dried 

 after the washing in the hot water, rub it well 

 in, about the hocks and ankles particularly. If 

 the shanks should become sore, rub in the 

 lotion, for tender shanks, p. 207. 



A lot of frothy, greasy, dirty, scurfy stuff, oc- 

 casionally comes from horses with any super- 

 fluous flesh that have not been sufficiently long 

 in training ; and some also from others during 

 their first sweat ; so, if on the second or third 

 sweat he sweats quickly and with much of this, it 

 is proof he is in a foggy state, and it must be 

 repeated again in a week or ten days, giving 

 four or five of the alterative balls, p. 101, one 

 every other evening, as mentioned before under 

 " Cordial Balls," &c., if rather too fleshy ; and 

 if not too fleshy, one drachm of tartarized an- 

 timony, and a quarter of a drachm of ginger 

 instead ; but if he proves difficult to sweat.
