MOLTEN GREASE, OR DYSENTERY. 129 



(RECIPE, No. 93.) 



Cordial Diuretic Ball. 



Take — Aniseeds, in powder, half an ounce ; 

 Ginger, powdered, two drachms ; 

 Emetic tartar, one drachm and a half; 

 Venice turpentine, half an ounce ; 

 Honey or treacle sufficient to form into a ball. 



Throughout this complaint the stable should be 

 moderately ventilated, to prevent it becoming hot, 

 and the horse should be clothed, so as to keep the 

 surface of the body warm; the water you give 

 him should be warm. By strict attention to these 

 rules, the swelling upon his legs will soon subside, 

 and nature return to her former state again. 

 Should, however, the horse be poor, or lean of 

 flesh, and inclining to be hidebound, or sufeited, it 

 will be proper to give him two or three of the 

 drinks (No. 46, p. 72) ; or, if thought more proper, 

 one of the alterative balls (No. 87, p. 123) may- 

 be given every morning after he returns from ex- 

 ercise. The observations here laid down will 

 enable every person of ability to manage the dis- 

 ease through every stage.
