Neat-Herds Ointment for ^Mange* 



TAke burnt Allom and Borax in fine Pouder, of 

 each two Ounces -, white Vitriol and Ferdigreafe 

 beaten to a very' fine Ponder, of each four Ounces: 

 put ? em into a very clean Pot, with two pounds of 

 Honey, and boil 'em over a clear Fire, ftirring all the 

 Subftances together till they be well incorporated. 

 After the Ointment is cold, add two Ounces of ftrong 

 jiqua-fortis, keep it well cover'd for ufe, ftirring it 

 once a Day, during the firft fix Days. One Appli- 

 cation, or two at moil, will perform the Cure * but 

 you muft take care that the Horfe may not be able to 

 reach it with his Teeth. If his Tail be Mangy, you 

 muft firft fcrape the place. 



Sometimes this Ointment, when it is laid on thickj 

 makes the Skin fall off like Scales, but without any 

 danger, for the Scab may be eafily feparated, by an- 

 ointing it with Tallow \ after which the Horfe is 

 perfectly freed from the Mange, and even tho' the 

 whole Cutkula or Scarf-Skin fall off, it will come a- 

 gain with the Hair, rarely leaving any confiderable 

 Mark.* 



This Ointment is not only good for the Mangel 

 but alfo for the Pains, running and watry Sores, 

 foul Wounds and Ulcers, Arrefts, Mules, and other 

 fuch like Sores, which it dries up effectually ; but it 

 ought not to be apply'd when the Legs are fwoll'n 

 or gourdy •, for after the drying up of the Sores, 

 the' Legs remain (till fwoll'n and full of Humours, 

 which will certainly break forth in fome other part 5 

 and therefore the Humour muft be firft evacuated by 

 the white Honey- Charge, or fome other convenient 

 "Remedy, and then dry'd up with this Ointment.
