 Dover's powders, and chalk, of each two 



drachms : 

 Form into a ball with treacle.

 half a drachm of opium to each ball, and give them, 

 with this addition, night and morning. 



When the horse is sufficiently recovered, and his 

 appetite begins to be pretty good, it will be proper

 other night for about a fortnight, and let him have 

 a nourishing diet.
