 rubbed in with a spatula, or a dull case krtife. 

 After the first tinje of using the ointment, it must;, 

 be;^^ rubbed in with the fingers, and repeated every, 

 morning for three times ; but, in cases of long 

 standing, it may be rubbed on for six or seven 

 mornings together. When the ointment is applied, 

 the horse's head must be tied to the rack, to pre- 

 vent him from gnawing the place with his teeth; 

 and the litter must be taken away to hinder him 

 from rubbing the blister off before it takes effect,

 blister has ceased to run, or on the third day after 

 you have done rubbing him, he may be turned 

 out to grass fox two or three months ; and if the

 must be taken from his pasture, and the blistering 

 ointment be repeated as before. After this man- 

 ner it may be repeated until the cure is com-
