 of crude mercury, black Toap, and mnftard feed. 

 In an inveterate cafe, rub once a day, or two 

 days, into the chotded veins and fwelhngs, the 

 following : linfeed oil, half a pint; oil of tur- 

 pentine, and petre, each three ounces ; tinfture 

 of euphorbium, half an ounce ; oil of origanum, 

 and double aquafortis, half an ounce each ; after 

 the ebullition is over, add two ounces Barbadoes 

 tar. Should the orifices of the buds be choked 

 up with proud flefh, or the fl^in fo' thickened 

 over the ulcers, that the matter cannot find 

 vent, make incifion with a fliarp pointed hot 

 iron, and touch the proud flefh M'ith oil of 

 vitriol, aquafortis, or butter of antimony ; or 

 with a falve of crude mercury incorporated with 

 aquafortis, or wafii with the fublimate water.

 abftain a week and repeat : or in two drachms 

 of philonium, fliould the horfe be fick ; or four 

 or five grains of opium or camphor ; great care 

 being taken of cold, a very necelfary caution, 

 both- with regard to externals and internals; to 

 which another equinecedary may be joined, that 

 of avoiding the large blood-vcifels, joints and 

 tendons, in the application of corrofive medi- 

 cines.
