GREASE, CROWN-SCAB, &C. €37 



How to cure llie Crown-Scab, 



meat and water may be cold, as usual. If a cure 

 is not speedily performed by these applications, it 

 will be proper to give him two or three doses of 

 physic: such as (No. 2, p. 11), or (No. 3, p. 12); 

 after which the diuretic balls ftiay be given, and 

 his legs be dressed, as above directed. By these 

 methods horses that grease at the heels will, in 

 general, be cured, though the disease be ever so 

 bad, or of long standing. 



THE CROWN-SCAB 



Is a humour that breaks round the coronet, 

 producing a scurviness and itching: it may be 

 cured in the same manner as the grease, by apply- 

 ing the poultice (No. 148, p. 231), and the sharp- 

 water (No. 145, p. 228), or (No. 146, p. 229 j, 

 and afterwards the ointment (No. 147, p. 230). 

 Sometimes the author has found it necessary to 

 make use of the mercurial ointrtient (No. 32, p. 

 52), or (39, >. 6S), which must be We^l rubbedf 

 on the part before the ointment land water for the 

 grease are applied.
