A small quantity of this wash may be rubbed on 

 the part affected every night and morning, after 

 the horse's heels have been well cleansed from dirt. 

 Horses that grease considerably at the heels, must 

 first have all the hair clipped off as close as possi- 

 ble, and their heels be washed v/ith soap and warm 

 water ; then let them stand half an hour after, and 

 bathe the parts well (where he greases) with the 

 above astringent wash.

Take— White vitriol, one ounce; 

 Alum, half an ounce ; 

 Vinegar, eight ounces; 

 Water, four ounces : 

 Mix for use. 



This, as well as (No. 145, 194) is a powerful 

 medicine in checking the progress of this disease. 

 When the heels have been well dressed with the 

 above astringent wash, or (No. 145, p. 194), take 

 proper pledgets, made of tow, or hurds, and spread 

 them with the following ointment; then apply 

 them on the part that greases, and bandage them 

 on with a flannel roller, or an old stocking-leg.
