LAMPAS. 



The lampas is an excrescence on the first bar 

 in the roof of the horse's mouth. The cure is 

 generdly performed by burning it but with a hot 

 iron; but it requires^ care, and a man of judge- 

 ment, to perform operations of this kind. Far- 

 riers, in general, fire too apt to take more out 

 than is necessary; care, however, must be taken 

 not to burn out more than the first bar in the roof 

 of his mouth, and not too deep. Afterwards rub 

 his mouth, or the part seared, with common salt. 

 It would be much better for the animal to omit 

 burning them out, and to wash his mouth once or 

 twice a day with the following mixture.
