•fa pound of saU petre; then put a rowel in tlie hor- 

 §e*s breast. Be careful that the horse does not take 

 cold. Bleed hini every other day, and be careful to 

 keep his bowels open. Molasses and sulphur are good 

 to give the horse an appehte, and serve to combat his

YELLOW- WATER, OR YELLOWS. 



The following is communicated by a respectable 

 gentleman from Connecticut, who witnessed its efficacy 

 in several instances : 



Pulverized rosin, 2 ounces ; mix that quantity in his 

 grain once every two days, or oftener in a bad case. 

 It is beneficial to any horse once a week vvhile he is 

 continued in the stable. It carries off bad humors and 

 strengthens the appetite ; gives life and spirit to the 

 horse. 



REMEDIES FOR SPRAINS. 



Mason's Farrier prescribes the following reme- 

 dies : 



1. Take of sharp vinegar, one pint; spirits of any 

 kind, half a pint ; camphor, one ounce ; mix them well 

 together, and bathe the part injured twice a day ; a 

 piece of flannel wet with the mixture, and wrapped 

 round the part, will be very beneficial; take from the 

 neck vein half a gallon of blood. 



2. Take of opodeldoc a small quantity, and rub it 

 on the part with the naked hand, until the hand be- 

 comes dry, twice a day. Should the injured part re- 

 sist both of these remedies, you may conclude the in- 

 jury a very serious one, which will require time and 

 atlenlicn to cure. 



Another. — Take of camphor 2 drachm?, dissolved 

 in half an ounce of strong rectified spirits of wine ; ni- 

 tre, one ounce, dissolved in half a pint of wine vinegar; 

 ipirits of turpentine, four ounces ; white lead or bole 

 armenic, in powder, half an ounce ; aqua fortis, one 

 ounce. Mix, and shake them all together in a bottle 

 for use. This is an excellent astringent embrocation 

 for stiains in different parts,
