82 NAVIX ox THE HORSE. 



Take — Tincture of opium 1 ounce. 



Spirits of camphor 1 ounce. 



Sulphuric ether 2 ounces. 



Chloride of lime 1 ounce. 



Water, milk-warm 1 pint. 



Mix, and give as a drench. 



Blanket the horse well, and give a little walking exercise.

Take — German soap, shaved | pound. 



Tobacco 1 ounce. 



Salt 4 ounces. 



Hot water 2 gallons. 



Mix until the soap is dissolved. Then take out the tobacco leaves, and in-

If the horse is not better in one hour after taking the second 

 dose recommended, repeat it, leaving out the tincture of opium, 

 and adding one ounce of the tincture of capsicum. After the 

 first dose, give half an ounce of the chloride of lime. This may 

 be given every hour until the horse is well. 



If the tincture of prickly-ash berries can not be obtained, 

 the following may be used in its place, to commence the treats 

 ment : 



Take— Oil of cajeput 2 drams. 



Oil of cloves 2 drams. 



Oil of peppermint 2 drams. 



Oil of anise 2 drams. 



Alcohol 1 ounce. 



Mix, and give one table-spoonful in half a pint of whisky.

 It would do well to follow up the dose of the second prescrip- 

 tion recommended by this, adding to each dose three or four 

 ounces of the tincture of prickly-ash berries, if it can be ob- 

 tained readily.
