218 PHYSICKING YEARLINGS. 



The next thing to be done is to get them 

 through their physic, or^, more properly speaking, 

 to get their physic through them. $^er-4he-«ft9*t-

The reader is not to forget that the twelve 

 yearlings to be trained are in four different 

 classes. The colts are in three classes : "the first 

 are the thick, strong-constitutioned colts — these 

 will require physic ; the second class are the 

 hearty ones, there may be one or two of these 

 that may also require physic; the third class, 

 the flighty ones, scarcely ever require medi- 

 cine of any kind. The fourth class, the fillies — 

 there may, perhaps, be one of this class that may 

 be benefited by the administration of physic. 



Now, there are some few precautions to be 

 taken in the physicking of these young ones : 

 first, it will be advisable, by way of experiment, 

 to begin with small doses of the best Barbadoes 

 aloes, as three drachms, or three drachms and a 

 half, in the first dose. To a colt of the first class.
