DIARRHCEA. 159 



Recipe — Cordial Drink. 



This ball is, in general, of sufficient strength 

 for most horses ; but it may be increased by add- 

 ing one, two, or three drachms more of aloes, as 

 occasion may require. The horse must undergo 

 the same care and management as in other phy- 

 sic* After the physic has ceased to operate, it 

 will be well to give him (No. 102, p. 156,) with 

 the cordial balls, instead of the horse-spice, as 

 there directed, with the addition of one ounce of 

 tincture of opium. If these have not the desired 

 effect in the course of eight or ten days, repeat 

 the physic ; and after it has ceased to operate, 

 give one of the following drinks.
