ounce ; juniper berries, and chamomile, pow-* 

 dered, half an ounce each ; ground ginger, a 

 tea-fpoonful ; ball widi any aftringent fyrup. 

 Would a fmall quantity of opium add to the 

 efficacy of this medicine? Or, Cordial ball 

 maybe ufed, until fufficient warmth and vigour 

 be reftored to the blood, and better colour and 

 difpofition to the ulcers. Strength enough being 

 left, the cure may be completed with gentle 

 cleanfing purges. Grafs, that of the falt-marlhes 

 preferable. 



I have jufl heard, that The Society of Health 

 dt Paris, are at prefent employed in making ex* 

 periments with the internal ufe of the Muriate, 

 and the Carbonate of Barytes, recommended 

 by our Dr. Crawford in Scrophula : in'con- 

 fequence, they have appointed citizens Huzard 

 and Biron, of the Veterinary Clafs, to try the 

 effefts of this aftive and powerful medicine 

 upon horfes. The refuk has been unfavourable. 

 Some horfes in a confirmed farcy took two 

 drachms a day each, both of the muriate and 

 the carbonate, which in a very fhort time feemed 

 to make a complete cure : in lefs than three 

 weeks, however, they died, without difcovering, 

 on being opened, any figns of the aftion of the 

 medicine. Others have fince died without any 

 previous tokens of ficknefs. It is probable the 

 experiments were made with too large dofeSy 

 and that half a drachm a day, or every other 



day.
