14 THE COMPLETE FAREIKK, 



yellowness ; the dung is often hard and dry, and of a pale 

 yellow color ; the urine is commonly of a dark, dirty brown, 

 and when it has settled, sometimes looks like blood : the 

 horse stales with pain and difficulty ; and, if the disorder is 

 not checked, becomes in a short time unable to stir about. 

 When this disease gets strong hold of a horse before proper 

 medicines are applied, it is often fatal, or it brings on some 

 other disorder as bad, or worse than itself. 



Cure. — Bleed plentifully, and as this disease is always at- 

 tended by a costive habit of body, it will be proper to give 

 a clyster or two before you give the physic. A clyster may 

 be made of one ounce of camomile flowers, boiled in a quart 

 of water with two ounces of Castile soap. Then give the 

 following ball : 



4 drams of Indian Rhubarb. 



2 drams of Salfron, 



6 drams of Socotrine Aloes. 



1 ounce of Castile Soap. 



To be brayed in a mortar with a little syrup of buckthorn, 

 and made into two balls ; one to be given the last thing at 

 night, and the other the first thing in the morning ; and give 

 plenty of warm water to work them off. If the disease is 

 obstinate and will not yield to the above, give the follow- 

 ing ball : 



1 dram of Calomel, 8 drams to an ounce. 



1 ounce of Barbadoes Aloes. 



1 ounce of Venice Soap. 



1 ounce of Tunueric. 



1 dram of Oil of Juniper. 



All to be brayed in a mortar with a little syrup of buck- 

 thorn, and made into two balls ; one to be given at night, 

 and the other in the morning, with plenty of warm water, 

 and walking exercise till wrought off. 



If the horse is better after the fii'st medicine, repeat it, for 

 it is much safer than the last ; but if not, the last may be 

 given, and repeated as need requires ; but be careful not to 

 give it in less than six days distance. 



If, after giving one dose of the last ball, you give the fol- 

 lowing powders every day in celantine tea, if it can be got, 

 or in warm ale, you will find them very useful in removing 

 the complaint. 



2 ounces of Salts of Tartar. 



1 ounce of -irEthiop's Mineral. 



2 ounces of Turmeric. 



These powders are proper to be given after either of the 

 former doses.
