BOG-SPA Vtl^; 241 



. ' Recipe — Liaiment generally applied. > 



Let these be applied twice a day, until the inflam- 

 mation and swelling subside ; but if it mature, 

 and go on to a state of suppuration^ it must at 

 first be treated as for fresh wounds,* and after- 

 wards in the same manner as wounds on the^ 

 joint. t The bog-spavin, however, seldom puts 

 on so alarming a nature. If the horse's leg be 

 lifted up, shaken, or turned about, the bones will 

 grate together as if they were bare. The com- 

 mon method of cure, except in the aforesaid case, 

 must be with the following liniment. 



(RECIPE, No. 154.) 



Take — Old urine, two quarts ; 



Soft soap, six ounces ; 



Boil them together till they acquire the con- 

 sistence of an ointment, or liniment ; and 

 put it in a pot for use. When this lini- 

 ment is used, add 



Two ounces of water of pure ammonia, to 

 four ounces of the liniment ; put them in % 

 bottle, and shake them well for use.
