(RECIPE, No. 102.) 



Stomach Drink. 



Take — Compound spirits of ammonia, and sweet spirit 



of nitre, of each one ounce ; 

 Gentian root, in powder, one ounce and a half; 

 Peruvian bark, and hiera picra, in powder, of 



each half an ounce ; 

 Horse-spice, two ounces : 

 Mix the whole in three pints of ale, and divide 



into three parts, and give one every morning 



fasting. 



Two hours after, give him a mash and warm 

 water. The virtues of this drink deserve the 

 highest commendation in restoring those horses 

 which have been much reduced by some long- 

 continued disease : as in lowness of spirits ; debi- 

 lity, and relaxation of the solids ; a loss of appetite ; 

 and for such also as are over-ridden, either in the 

 field, or on the road.
