Ha INFLAMMATION OF THE LUNGS. 



(RECIPE, No. 80.) 



Take — Thin water gruel, four quarts ; 

 Nitre, one ounce; 

 Glauber's salts, four ounces ; 

 Linseed oil, half a pint : 

 Dissolve the salts in the gruel, and admi- 

 nister nc\Y-milk-v,'arni. 



Before the clyster is applied, a small hand must 

 be put up the rectum, in order to bring away the 

 hardened dung, otherwise it might impede the 

 clyster. It may be repeated once a day till the 

 physic operates. Blistering will assist also in 

 removing the inflammation ; therefore, after the 

 first bleeding, apply the blistering essence (No. 

 133) pretty extensively over the chest, rubbing 

 it well in, so as to blister as quickly as possible. 

 Different authors recommend rowelling in this 

 disease ; but as it in general takes from three to 

 four days to bring them to a proper discharge, the 

 consequence may in that time either prove fatal, 

 or relief may be obtained ; if they are employed, 

 the leather or horse hairs must be well anointed 

 with blistering ointment. As soon as the horse 

 begins to eat his corn and hay, let him have the 

 following drink.
