 or inflamed ; also when he is thriving, and ruh$ 

 off his hair ; and in all inflammatory fevers : and 

 in falls, bruises, hurts of the eye, and strains ac- 

 companied with inflammations. A horse should 

 never be suffered to bleed upon the ground^ but 

 into a measure^ in order that the proper quan- 

 tity may be taken, which, in general, is from two 

 to four quarts, according to size or strength, and 

 habit of body. The following powders will be 

 found excellent for such horses as are kept on
