ON PURGING. 21 



When most proper to give a Purging Drink. 



Barbadoes aloes, two drachms ; 

 Prepared kali, half an ounce ; 

 Brandy, a wine glass full : to be given new 

 milk warm. 



This drink may be given as soon as the horse 

 has cooled a little, after which let him fast one 

 hour, then give him a mash of scalded bran and 

 oats, and warm w^ater. If the drink be given at* 

 nightj It in general begins to operate the next 

 morning. This drink is of excellent service in all 

 kinds of inflammatory disorders, and in carrying 

 off the molten grease after violent exercise, which 

 often causes great heat, restlessness, and inward 

 sickness.
