BROKEN WIND. H' 



To relieve the Horse's Breathing.

Rowelling between the jaws may be of service 

 in the commencement of this complaint, in order 

 to draw the humours from the part affected. But 

 if the hair be clipped off on the upper part of the 

 windpipe, opposite the jaws, and a little between 

 them, the part may be w^ell rubbed with the blis- 

 tering ointment (No. 113 infra), and repeated 

 every other day for three or four times. 



It will be proper to give a gentle purge or two 

 in this complaint, which will be a means of carry- 

 ing away the film from the affected parts. Let 

 the ball (No. 21, p. 40) be given at night and the 

 purging ball (No. 22, p. 40) the next morning, 

 and treat the horse as there described. This will, 

 in many cases, greatly relieve his breathing. After 

 he has taken two doses of the last mentioned phy- 

 sic, it will be proper to give him a few of the fol- 

 lowing balls.
