Take Barbadoes Aloes, from one ounce to ten drams, Sper- 

 maceti one dram, Diapente half an ounce, Caflile Soap one 

 dram. Salt of Tartar one dram, Race Ginger in Powder one 

 dram, Myrrh one dram, Oil of Annifeeds forty drops, made 

 up into a ball with Sirup of Buckthorn, for one dofe, If the 

 laft Purges fliould be required fhronger, I fometimes add Jalap

A Strong Safe PURGE. 



Take Barbadoes Aloes from one ounce to twelve drams, 

 Spermaceti one dram, Cream of Tartar half an ounce. Jalap 

 from one, to two drams. Race Ginger in powder one dram, 

 Diapente half an ounce, Caflile Soap two drams, and Oil of 

 Annifeeds forty drops; made up into two balls with Sirup of 

 Buckthorn for one dofe. Sometimes I add to the above, in- 

 ftead of Jalap, one dram or two of Scammony, more or lefs, 

 according to the ftrength or habit of the Horfe's body. The 

 above is not meant for a delicate habit, but a robufl flrong 

 habit, as fome Horfes require Phyiic much ftronger than 

 others do. But let this be a rule, fay you mean to give, one, 

 two, or four dofes of Purging Phyfic to a Horfe; the firft 

 dofe might happen juft to fuit the habit and work well to 

 your mind: Although you give jufl the fame dofe again it 

 might not work fo well as the firft did : alfo, I will advife to 

 add a little more Aloes and Jalap to the fecond- and third dofes 

 and fo-forth, as generally the habit gets ftronger and ftronger 

 after every dofe you give.
