74 THE MANGE. 



Directions for applying the Wash for the Maiige, 



Train oil, one quart ; 



Verdigrease, in powder, two ounces ; 



Old urine, three quarts ; 



Flour of sulphur, half a pound : 



Boil them altogether for use. 



This wash must be well rubbed in with a hard 

 brush, in the open air, provided the day be fine, 

 and the weather warm : otherwise a bar of iron 

 must be heated and held over his body at a proper 

 distance, in the same manner as for the ointment. 

 If the horse draws in a team, the inside of the col- 

 lar must be washed, or the inside of the saddle, if 

 a saddle horse. 



To the preceding recipes and directions may be 

 added the following, which the author has em- 

 ployed upwards of fourteen years, and has never 

 found it to fail in any one instance in curing the 

 mange, or scab, in its worst stages. It will be 

 found much more pleasant and more convenient 

 than the former, as it may be washed off at plea- 

 sure, with a brush and warm water*
