ger powdered each half an ounce^ 

 faffron and oil of anifeed each half 

 a dram. 



Mr. Gibfon recommends the follow- 



ing. 



TAKR, Succotrine aloes tzn drams, 

 myrrh 'finely powdered half ari 

 ounce, faffron and freOi jalap in 

 powder, of each a dram •, make 

 them into a ftilf ball with fyrup of 

 rofes, then add- a fmall fpoonful of 

 redlified oil of amber. 



The Succotrine aloes fhould always be Obferva^ 

 preferred to the Barbadoes, or Plantation ^*°"' 

 aloes, though the latter niay be given 

 to robufl ilrong horfes, but even then 

 fhould always be prepared with the fait, 

 or cream ot tartar -, which by opening its 

 parts, prevent its adhefion to the coats 

 of the llomach and bowels ; from whence 

 horrid griping'^, and even death itfelf, has 

 o^ten enfued. i his caution is well worth 

 remarking, as many a horfe hath fell a 

 facrifice to the negled of it. - . 



Half an ounce of Caflile foap, to a 

 horfe of a grofs conftitution, may be add- 

 ed to any of the above •, and the propor- 

 tions may be increafed for ftrong horfes,-
