206 HOW TO EDUCATE HORSES. 



SWELLED TEATS. 



Make pomade of camphorated spirit of brandy, and 

 goose grease; apply two to three times daily. 



TO EXTRACT THORNS. 



Cobbler's wax bound on to the place, or black pitch 

 plaster, or a poultice, are equally good. 



FILMS OVER THE EYES. 



Blue-stone or lunar caustic, eight grains; spring 

 water, one ounce. Wash the eyes with it, letting a 

 little pass in. Repeat this daily, and you will soon 

 cure it. 



FILMS CAUSED BY THORN WOUNDS. 



Rest the dog till perfectly headed over, washing with 

 rose water. If much inflammation, bleed and foment 

 with hot water, with a few drops of laudanum in it — 

 about forty drops of laudanum to one ounce of water, 

 or two grains of opium to one ounce of water — one as 

 good as the other. Then apply four or five times the 

 following wash: Super-acetate of lead, half drachm; 

 rose water, six ounces. 



STRIPPING FEET. 



Wash in bran and warm water with a little vinegar; 

 afterward apply tincture of myrrh. Apply sweet oil 

 before he goes out. If his feet are sore wash in but- 

 termilk until better; then apply brine and vinegar, 

 equal parts. 



WOUNDS. 



Poultice for a day or two ; then apply Friar's balsam, 

 covering up the place.
