SUEFEITS AND HXDJIBOUND. 7X 



(RECIPE, No. 45.) 

 Compound Cordial Balls. 



Take — Nitre, crocus of antimony, and Castile soap, of 



each four ounces ; 

 Caraway seeds, aniseed, turmeric, and ginger, 



of each four ounces ; each article must be 



powdered separately : 

 Beat them into a mass for balls, with a sufficient 



quantity of treacle: each ball to weigh two 



ounces. # 



These balls will be found well adapted for horses 

 labouring under diseases of this kind ; the former 

 are calculated for such horses as are in high con- 

 dition, the latter for those which are in low con- 

 dition. One of these balls should be given every 

 morning fasting, before exercise, for the space of 

 a week, and then omitted for three or four days ; 

 or, if it be thought more convenient, let one be 

 given every other morning for a fortnight, or three 

 weeks, as circumstances may require. While a 

 horse is under a course of the above medicines, he 

 must have mashes of scalded bran and oats twice 

 a day : and if the scabs do not come off in three 

 or four days, or a week's time, after taking either 

 of these balls, let him be well dressed with the 

 scab ointment, in the same manner as used for 

 the mange.
