COEUiAL Foil A HORSE. 1067 



Magic Liniment. 



Two oz. oil of spike, 2 oz. origanum, 2 oz. hemlock, 2 oz. 

 worm-wood, 4 oz. sweet oil, 2 oz. spirits ammonia, 2 oz. gum cam- 

 phor, 2 oz. spirits turpentine, and ] quart proof spirits- — 90 per 

 cent. Mix well together, and bottle tight. For sprains, bruises, 

 lameness, etc., in man, this liniment, without turpentine, is un- 

 rivaled. 



This prescription was obtained by the writer twelve years ago, in Onondaga 

 Co., N. Y. Much was claimed for it; that it would cure lame back, bruises, sprains, 

 etc., and with the turpentine worked well upon horse flesh. My attention has been 

 particularly called to it during the past two years by parties who used it. In Niag- 

 ara Co., N. y., a gentleman, in looking over his book after the school, pointed to 

 it, Baying: "There is a receipt I would not take $50 for." He said a very fine 

 horse in that neighborhood a few years ago got strained in the back so badly that 

 he could not get up in consequence. A negro from Syracuse took the horse in 

 charge, made and applied a liniment to the back, bathing it in thoroughly twice 

 daily. There was rapid improvement; the animal being soon able to get up, and 

 got entirely well. He ofEered the negro $10 for the recipe, without avail; that he 

 made the nigger drunk and stole the recipe from him; "and," said he, "that's it 

 exactly." He took down a bottle from a shelf in the sitting-room (in Charlotte, 

 Niagara Co., N. Y.), saying: "Here is some of it; they could not keep house with- 

 out it here. For toothache, neuralgic pains, sprains, etc., the landlady said it was 

 indispensable; that they kept it always in the house." This was corroborated by 

 others. 



At Clifton Springs, Ontario Co., N. Y,, during my last tour through that sec- 

 tion in 1S~4, a gentleman pointed out the same prescription taken from my old 

 book, and said he would not take $100 for it; that he had cured 40 cases of neu- 

 ralgia with it; that he put up the medicine as a specialty for that purpose, at $1.00 

 a bottle; first making it up for his wife, who was troubled with neuralgia, curing 

 her. It was used by others with the same result. The demand becoming so great 

 that he put it up as a specialty, and had thus secured a large local sale of it, 



A Good Application to a Putrid Ulcer. 



To remove fetid smell of fistulous Avithers, poll evil, canker, and 

 wounds, dilute chloride of lime with twenty times its quantity of 

 water, and di-ess with it whenever there is an offensive discharge; 

 mix a poultice with this prejjaration, and put it on. It will remove 

 all smell, and cleanse by its action. 



Best Cordial for a Horse. 



The following is the best cordial for a horse that is old. has lost 

 his appetite, and is recovering slowly from sickness, or for an old 

 horse that has been worked too hard: — 



Four parts each of carraway powder and bruised raisins, and 

 two eftch of ginger and palm oil. beaten into a mass. This is harm- 

 less, and is one of the very best. 



To Cure Weak Back. 



0. J. Madison, livery keeper and large dealer in horses, of Mas- 

 siUon, Ohio, a few years ago, cured several very bad cases. One 

 horse was so weak that he would fall down and could not get up;
