^4 , VINEGAR. 



VINEGAR. 



Vinegar is a very useful application for sprains 

 hruises, &c. Equal parts of boiling water and 

 cold vinegar will form a good fomentation; 

 extract of lead or bay salt may be added with 

 fcome advantage. 



ALCOHOL— RECTIFIED SPIRITS. 



This is used in making many tinctures and 

 other preparations; 3 or 4 ounces of which are 

 largely diluted with water, and given to a liorse 

 that has become fatigued while on a journey, 

 will cause him to rally and cheerfully pursue 

 his course to the pnd of the day's travel. 



AQUA-FORTIS. 



This is a valuable external application for 

 destroying fungus excrescences. A pledget of 

 tar should be dipped in the acid, then firmly 

 pressed on the cankerous surface. Every part 

 with which the acid comes in contact will be 

 deadened and slough off, when healthy granu- 

 lations spring up.
