HUNTERS 



shelter themselves under a large variety of 

 diseases included within the cure, as per the 

 "label" only. One matter against which it is 

 necessary to issue a word of warning, chiefly to 

 grooms, is in connection with the use (abuse) of 

 drugs, such as arsenic, oil of vitriol, antimony, 

 and saltpetre, &c., all of which are capable of 

 exercising deadly effects, either directly or 

 indirectly. It is an excellent plan to have 

 the following articles in charge of the stud 

 groom to be used at his discretion or as 

 circumstances arise : 



I dozen 3 -in. absorbent linen bandages 



J lb. boracic lint 



4-lb. tin of mustard 



i lb. powdered boracic acid 



1 dozen 5 -drachm physic balls
