SPEAINS. 14)7 



(RECIPE, No. 109.) 

 Take— Muriate of ammonia (sal ammoniac), and nitrate 

 of potass (salt petre) of each one ounce ; 

 Verjuice, or strong vinegar, two quarts; 

 Water, one quart : 



Let the water be made hot, to dissolve the salts, 

 and it will be ready for use. 



This fomentation will be found excellent for 

 dispersing all inflammatory swellings upon the 

 sinews, or any other tendonous parts. After the 

 parts have been well fomented with hot flannels 

 wrung out of it, for the space of a quarter of an 

 hour, in the course of three or four hours after rub 

 the part well with the mixture (No. 108, p. 146), 

 and afterwards apply a flannel bandage, rolled round 

 the leg, from the knee to the fetlock. The horse 

 should be confined to the stable while the inflam- 

 mation continues. Horses frequently receive in- 

 juries about the knees and pasterns, from kicks or 

 blows, which they are liable to from the groom, or 

 other horses ; and which are easily cured by rub- 

 bing the part with the following cheap astringent 

 mixture.
