31. REMEDY FOR SWEENEY. 



Take 1 pint of strong vinegar, 1 gill spirits 

 turpentine, 1 ounce pulverized saltpetre. Put 

 all into a. bottle, shake, mix and dissolve well, 

 and it is fit for use. Rub the linament on the 

 sunken parts, with the hand, as much, as will 

 soak in, twice a day, until it becomes sore, and 

 the skin gets loose, then apply once a day until 

 used up. This liniment will never fail in curing 

 if applied properly, and is a safe and sure reme- 

 dy for Sweeney. You may grease with sweet oil 

 or lard once, after using the remedy for the last 

 time. The liniment must act on the skin, and if 

 it does not make sore, or act on the skin, add 

 more spirits turpentine. - In case the first dose 

 does not entirely relieve, use the second time. 

 This you will have no need for if you do not 

 work the horse.
