HUNTERS 



in accordance with the prescription given 

 below : 



Bicarbonate of Potash i ounce 



Bicarbonate of Soda 4 drachms 



Compound Tincture of Cardamoms 2 ounces 

 Tincture of Catechu i ounce 



Carbonate of Bismuth i ounce 



Chloroform Water, added to make 10 ounces 



Mix, and give one tablespoonful every six 

 hours, until the foal is cured. 



Another useful drug for this trouble is mercury 

 and chalk, given in the form oi grey powder, in 

 doses of thirty grains daily, or twice daily, until 

 a cure has been effected, but it is not a drug that 

 ought to be continued with longer than two or 

 three days under ordinary circumstances. One 

 feature worthy of notice, in connection with this 

 trouble, is that of not allowing the foal to suck 

 the mare when she comes in overheated through 

 exercise, her prolonged absence being usually 

 followed by the foal sucking too freely, and her 

 milk at such time is not in the best condition for 

 assimilation.
