51 THE GLANDERS. 



The liorse must have mashes, warm water, and 

 exercise, in the same manner as for other physic. 

 (See p. 20.) 



The morning after the operation of the physic, 

 give him the following ball, and repeat it night 

 and morning for the space of three or four weeks, 

 if no unfavourable symptoms forbid it. Should 

 the horse appear indisposed from it, omit it for 

 two or three days, and begin again, or else lessen 

 the quantity of calomel ; should it cause purging, 

 discontinue it for a short time, or add two scruples 

 of opium to it, till the purging ceases. 



(RECIPE, No. 29.) 



Take — Calomel, two scruples : 



Oak bark, in fine powder, one ounce : 

 Make into a ball with honey or treacle. 



After this has been given for the stated time, 

 and the disease is not yet cured, but appears on 

 the decline, you must now only give the ball once 

 a day, and continue it till the ulcers disappear ; or 

 the following acid drink may be administered, par- 

 ticularly if the horse is reduced, or some discharge 

 continues after the ulcers have healed.
