Recipe — Diuretic Driuk for Cart or ^^3^0:00 Horses. 



Juniper berries, bruised, and carraway seeds, 

 in powder, of each two ounces : 



Nitre, and turmeric, in powder, of each one 

 ounce : 



Mix them in a quart of cold ale, and give it 

 fasting in the morning. 



This drink is more calculated for cart, or wag- 

 gon horses, than for hacks, or hunters; its strength 

 may be very much increased by adding one or 

 two ounces of spirit of turpentine, and for heavy 

 horses that swell much at the heels it will be found 

 of great advantage. Give the drink fasting in the 

 morning; let him stand without meat for two 

 hours after, then give him meat and water as 

 usual. The day following give him as much cold 

 water as he will drink, with moderate exercise. 

 Repeat the drink every third morning for three or 

 four times. We shall now proceed to give differ^ 

 ent recipes for diuretic balls, which will be found 

 of great use to such horses as are inclined to 

 swell, or grease, at the heels.
