PHYSIC BALL FOR HORSES. 



This contains the same ingredients as the physic drench, only 

 it is prepared in a different way, as follows : 



First. — Grind up eight drams of bitter aloes good and fine. 



Second. — Add a few drops of water to make it sticky when 

 rolled. 



Third. — Roll it in a teaspoonful of ginger into the form of a 

 long ball, so it will be about one-half inch in diameter and two or 

 three inches long. 



Fourth. — Roll it neatly in a piece of paper, and before giving 

 it to the horse oil the paper, so it will slip down easily; shove it 

 well back into the mouth and hold the horse's head up until he 

 swallows it. The action of this ball is the same as the action of 

 the physic drench.

 it as you would a physic ball.
