BURDON's HORSE OINTMENT. 

 Into a clean pipkin that holds about a quart, put the bigness 

 pallet's egg of yellow resin ; when it is melted over a middling fire, 

 add the same quantity of bees-wax : when that is melted, put in 

 half a pound of hog's-lard ; when it is dissolved, put in two ounces 

 of honey j when that is dissolved, put in half a pound of common 

 turpentine: keep it gently boiling, stirring it with a stick all the 

 time : when the turpentine is dissolved, put in two ounces of verdi- 

 grease, finely powdered ; but, before you put in the verdigrease, you 

 must take off the pipkin (else it will rise into the fire in a moment) ; 

 set it on again, and give it two or three wambles, and strain it through 

 a coarse sieve into a clean vessel, for use, and throw away the dregs. 

 ' This is an extraordinary ointment for a wound or bruise in flesh 

 or hoof, broken knees, galled backs, bites, cracked heels, mallen- 

 derse, or, when you geld a horse, to heal, and keep the flies away. 

 Nothing takes fire out of a burn or scald in human flesh so soon : I 

 have had personal experience of it. I had it out of De Grey j but 

 finding it apt to heal a wound at the top before the bottom was sound, 

 I improved it, by adding an ounce of verdigrease.
