the horse, the disease^s of that noble animal, the causes 

 of and the symptoms that denote the same, with iho 

 proper cures and remedies, as practiced by Le Fosse, 

 While, Hinds, and others, who stand deservedly the 

 highest in the world as Veterinary Surgeons, and 

 whose indefatigable exertions to acquire knowledge 

 and skill from scientific researches and practical ex- 

 perience have gained them many honorary distinctions 

 in the Veterinary Medical Societies at home and a- 

 broad. So that t!ie most implicit confidence may be 

 given to the information contained in the foregoing 

 pages ; and pains has been taken to give all that is 

 necessviry to enable the owners of horses to become 

 good judges and to prescribe with correctness for the 

 health and preservation of his own animals. We shall 

 now give a variety of Recipes that have proved effi- 

 cient in various parts of tlie country, and are relied 

 upon as infallible cures by those who have tried them ; 

 but we would recommend the inexperienced, in the 

 first place to become familiar with the preceding pages, 

 fio that he may be enabled to form a correct idea of 

 the nature and extent of the disease, its cause and 

 symptoms; for the remedies must necessarily vary 

 according to these particulars. Having thus qualified 

 himself to decide what disease it is that afflicts his 

 horse, he may make use of the following Recipes at 

 discretion, according to the constitution and condition 

 of the animal. It is proper to remark that none are 

 given but such as have been tried and are highly re- 

 commended by experienced men of undoubted veraci- 

 ty. Many of them are quite simple, and may be tried 

 without much trouble. 



FOUNDER, 

 Captain Bartlett, whose known eriperience has in- 

 duced travellers frequently to call upon him for advice, 

 when in the morning they found their horses unable 

 to pursue their journey, on account of having been 

 foundered the preceding day, made use of the follow- 

 ing remedy, which enabled them to go right on with- 

 out any further difficulty, and their horses soon be- 

 came as lively and active as ever, and for which hp 

 has received their hearty thanks on their return. Ho,
