No. 4. — Dr. Morgan, N. J. recommends a table, 

 epoonful of unslacked lime to be given with the feed 

 of the horses, at night and morning, regularly, for 

 three, four, or fivo days, and it will completely expel 

 the botts. 



No. 6. — Dr. Loom is, N. C. says — Make a drench 

 composed of half a pint new milk, a giil of molasses, 

 an ounce of copperas, two spoonsful of common salt, 

 and half a pint of warm water. Give this to the horse 

 once or twice a day for a few days, and it will com- 

 pletely expel the bolts. 



No. 6, for Botts or Cholic. — Take six red p^pperSv. 

 and boil them m a pint of water; strain them, and put 

 in half glass gunpowder, half a pint j^in, and mix them 

 in a pint of molasses, for a dose. Never fails. 



No. 7. — Take 1 ounce of assafcetida and one ounce 

 of gunpowder, with an equal proponion of salt. Mix, 

 and rub it thickly on a cobb. with which rub the horse's 

 upper lip until it nearly bleeds. Unaccountable and 

 absurd as this appears, it is said to have given a spee- 

 dy relief to the animal, when tried. 



No. 8, for Botts or Cholic. — Pour down from three 

 to four gills of linseed oil, which will physic the horse 

 and expel the bolts or cure the cholic. 



To preserve a horse agaimst Botts. — Take of bees- 

 wax, mutton tallow, and supar, each eight ounces, put 

 these into a quart of warm milk, and heat it until it all 

 melts and mixes, then put the whole into a bottle, and 

 just before it begins to thicken pour down. Two or 

 three hours afterwards give him physic. 



Another. — Give the horse accasionnlly half a pint 

 of hard wood ashes, mixed in his grain or drink. Eveo 

 giving him salt freely, will nine tunes out of ten pre- 

 serve him from the bolts ; if he is atUcked, give \nti\ 

 a quart of warm fish brine, and it will relieve him. 



Physic Jor a Horse. — A strong decoction of moth- 

 erwort, mixed with Indian meal, or poured down out 

 of a bottle, is a good physic and an excellent remedy 

 for worms*
