th6 part of the glands n'here the ulcer is seated. — 

 There are some parts which will admit of a total ex- 

 tirpation ; which may be done with a suitable knife, or 

 if preferred by actual cautery. When the wound i« 

 thoroughly cleansed from all extraneous matter, let it 

 be touched all over with lunar caustic, or sprinkled 

 with red precipitate ; and afterwards dress it with tha 

 following 



RECIPE No. 46. — Egyptiacum, 2 ounces ; compound tincturd 

 of myrrh, and spirits of turpentine, 1 ounce eaclii sublimate, finely 

 powdered, 1 drachm ; spirit of salt, four drachms. Mix. 



Dress the wound with small pledgets of lint or tovr 

 dipped in the above mixture, once a day ; and if any 

 superfluous flesh appear, keep it down with caubtic ;• 

 or before dressing, sprinkle the wound all over with 

 blue vitriol. 



When the wound has been well cleansed, and th© 

 acrid discharge has stopped, make a fresh ointment, 

 composed of Tour ounces of yellow basilican ointment-, 

 «,nd one ounce of spirits of turpentine. Keep it in a 

 pot for use. With a wooden spatula mix one ounce 

 of this well with two ounces of the above ointment No. 

 46, and dress the v/ound with it once or twice a day 

 till healed. 



A purgative medicine occasionally administered, 

 will hasten the cure. 



BLACK TONGUE. 



The same remedy given in page 91, of this book, 

 for horses, may be used witii equal success for neat 

 cattle. Indeed, there are also several other recipes 

 and remedies given for the horse, that are equally val- 

 uable for the cure of neat cattle. The reader, upon 

 examination, will perceive the exact similarity of the 

 causes and symptoms of the complaints of those ani- 

 mals, in many cases, which require a similar remedy. 

 SORE TEATS. 

 Some cows are very subject to sore teats, particu- 

 larly such as have newly calved ; if this be the case, 

 in summer, they olten become ulcerated. Take the 

 root of bittersweet, and simmer it in some lard or but- 

 ter, and anoint the teats or parts aflected, and it will 

 be a certain cure. It is also good for ladies' aor»
