with the bracing mixture (No. 107, p. l^S) or the 

 following lotion. 



(RECIPE, No. 143.) 

 Cooling Lotion. 



Take — Camphorated spirit of wine, four ounces ; 



Acetated litharge, and tincture of opium, of each 



one ounce : 

 Mix them in a bottle for use. 



This will be found an excellent medicine for 

 warbles, and all kinds of bruises occasioned by the 

 saddle ; if they are obstinate, and resist the above 

 applications, apply the blistering essence. 



SITFASTS. 



These generally proceed from the saddle, or 

 collar, pinching the parts on which they press ; and 

 render the skin hard or callous. They may be easily 

 cured by applying the mixture (No. 107, p- 145), 

 or the above (No. 143); but if the skin become 

 horny, it may be cut out, and the place well rubbed 

 with the nitrated ointment (No. 33, p. 56) once a 

 day. Or, if thought more proper, it may be dressed 

 with the compound tincture (No. 116, p. 155), and 

 the last-mentioned powders (No. 142, p. 191). By 

 this method the practitioner will be enabled to 

 perform cures in every case.
