the difficulty of breathing and other bad symptoms 

 are not much relieved ; and this may be persevered 

 with for two or three bleedings more ; but in 

 smaller quantities at each time ; as one, two, or 

 three quarts, and at shorter intervals, if difficulty 

 of breathing, &c. require it; secondly, it will be 

 necessary to cool the body, act upon the kidneys, 

 and unload the intestines with the following 

 medicines. 



(RECIPE, No. 79.) 



Ball for Injlammation of the Limgs. 



Take — White antimonial powder, two drachms ; 

 Prepared kali, half an ounce ; 

 Nitre, half an ounce ; 

 Castile soap, two drachms ; 

 Aromatic confection, half an ounce: 

 Beat them into a ball. 



This ball must be given to the horse as soon as 

 it can be prepared, after he has been bled ; and 

 continue it two or three times a day as long as the 

 inflammation continues; about six hours after, 

 give him the purging drink (No. 59, p. 87), and 

 repeat it every night and morning until a passage 

 is obtained, or the bowels are sufficiently opened. 



The purgative drink may be assisted by ad- 

 ministering the following clyster.
