Treatment to be observed after the Application of Medicine. 



Canlharides, ar>d euphorbiura, in powder, of 



each two drachms : 

 Dissolve the plaisters together, then add the 



two last, and stir them all well together. 



This charge must be spread on the part just 

 before it sets^ and a flannel, or some short wool, 

 be immediately applied over the whole. In the 

 course of a day or two the horse may be turned 

 out to grass for two or three months. If a flannel 

 is applied and stitched on, the stitches may be cut 

 in one month after; and if any lameness still re- 

 main after he has been his full time at grass, he 

 may be fetched up, and the blister and charge be 

 repeated as before. This method of treatment 

 will be sufficient to cure most spavins, ring-bones, 

 and splints, of three or four years standing, after 

 other methods have failed.
