BONE-SPAVIN, HING-BONE, kc, 175 



This blister must be well rubbed on the part 

 affected, with the hand, for half an hour at a 

 time, and for six or seven mornings successively. 

 This recipe is certainly one of the best that can be 

 formed out of the materia medica, and deserves 

 the highest commendation. It will not only cure 

 spavins, ring-bones, and splints, in their infancy, 

 but when they are obstinate, and of long standing. 

 It operates by blistering and sweating the part; 

 it opens the pores, and makes way for the more 

 powerful parts of the blister to penetrate through 

 the ligamental purse which surrounds the joints. 

 The author has frequently used this mixture for 

 callous sinews, and in strains of long standing ; 

 and has always found it to be a medicine of the 

 first consideration. Much might be said in recom- 

 mendation of this mixture ; but every person that 

 has occasion to make use of it, will soon be con- 

 vinced of its good effects. 



The following is a very good recipe for splints 

 and spavins when they are Ji?^st perceived.
