2/4 EDUCATING THE HORSE. 



POLL-EVIL AND FISTULA. 



Common potash, ^ oz. ; extract of belladonna, 

 12 drams; gum Arabic, ^ oz. Dissolve the 

 gum in as little water as possible ; then, having 

 pulverized the potash, unless it is moist, mix the 

 gum water with it, and it will soon dissolve ; add 

 the belladonna ; mix, and it is ready to use. 



The best method for getting this into the 

 pipes, is by means of a small syringe, after hav- 

 ing cleansed the sore well with suds. Repeat 

 once in two days, until the callous pipes, and 

 hard, fibrous base around the poll-evil or fistula 

 are completely destroyed. 



NERVE AND BONE LINIMENT. 



Take beef's gall, i quart ; alcohol, i pint ; vol- 

 atile liniment, 12 oz. ; spirits of turpentine, i lb.; 

 oil of origanum, 4 oz. ; aqua ammonia, ^ pint ; 

 oil of amber, 3 oz. ; tincture of cantharides, 6 oz. 

 Mix.
