76 THE MANGE. 



be added the following, which I have employed 

 upwards of thirty years, and have never found it 

 to fail in any one instance in curing the mange, 

 or scab, in its worst stages. It will be found 

 much more pleasant and more convenient than the 

 former, as it may be washed off at pleasure, with 

 a brush and warm water. 



(RECIPE, No. 50.) 



Ointment for the Mange or Scab. 



Take — Quicksilver, and balsam of sulphur, of each 

 four ounces; let them be well rubbed in a 

 marble mortar until every particle of the silver 

 has disappeared : 

 Then add, soft soap, one pound; 

 Oil of turpentine, four ounces : 

 Mix, and beat them all well together for use. 



This ointment must be used in the same manner 

 as the former (No. 48, p. 74). Such horses as are 

 affected with the mange, or scab, should have the 

 following powders, for three or four days before 

 they are dressed, and also eight or ten days after 

 dressing, or longer, if expedient. 



(RECIPE, No. 51.) 

 Compound Antimonial Powders. 



Take— Crude antimony, in fine powder; nitre; flour 

 of sulphur; and cream of tartar; of each half 

 a pound : 

 Powder and mix them all together for use.
