Bolfter of Flax. The Tame Application is conve- 

 nient when one of the quarters of the Hoof is cut 

 away. 



Since the Hoof does not always fall quite away 

 at once, but by degrees, and ufually after confider- 

 able Intervals, you mult apply this Ointment cold 

 to all the fore and raw Parts *, and if the Flefh grow 

 too faft, or appear frothy, burn the highefl: part of 

 It, and then apply the Ointment. 



This Ointment alfo is very proper for Wounds in 

 the Withers, and in all other Parts of the Body, for 

 it keeps 'em very clean, and prevents a Gangrene. 



Thofe who carry Trains of Horfes to the Army, 

 or travel with a great number of Horfes, fhould al- 

 ways make provifion of a fufficient quantity of this 

 Ointment. And if Farriers had it in their Shops, 

 they would daily make new Difcoveries of its Vir- 

 tues, and lay afide the ufe of the Vnguentum Afofto- 

 lorum, and all drying Powders. The Application of 

 this Ointment, after the ufe of an aBud or potential 

 Cautery, and after the Scabs are fall'n off, is a pre* 

 fent Remedy for all Quitterbones, where they pro- 

 ceed from outward or inward Caufes. 



It may be calfd an excellent kind of tsEgyftiacum^ 

 and very effe&ually reftores and ftrengthens the 

 Sole, when the fuperfluous moifture of the Flefh 

 hinders its growth. 



You may cure watry or running Sores in young 

 Coach-Horfes, by {having off the Hair, and apply, 

 ing this Ointment daily. The fame may be alfo 

 irfed in the Cure of Frich or Stubs *, but there are 

 other Ointments more effectual in that cafe.
