where he cau get water. This dose is for a pretty strong 

 horse, so you must add or diminish according to size. Tliis 

 dose must be repeated as need requires, but not within seven 

 days. It will destroy most kind of worms ; but the hard 

 round worms require difterent treatment, as they are the \ 

 worst of any to get rid of To destroy them give the i 

 following ; 



1 dram of Calomel, 8 drams to an ounce. 



6 drams of Jalap. 



6 drams of Rhubarb, in powder. 



Wrought up into a paste with conserve, or honey j and 

 two days after give the following : 



1 dram of Calomel, 8 drams to an ounce. 

 1 omice of dried Foxglove Leaves, pow^dered. 

 ^ ounce of Wonn Seed, powdered. 

 1 ounce of Jalap, in powder. 



To be given in thi-ce gills of malt liquor from the mash- 

 tub. If the above be given every week for three weeks 

 together, you may be sure that most of the vermin Avill be 

 expelled. If the medicines be given in the house, let the 

 food be light and opening, and warm water for two days,

 mash of bran, it will be much better. The above ball is 

 good for many disorders besides worms.

 to cure. Some people may say. How can a horse hate the 

 Jaundice, xchen he has no gall-bladder ? I answer. Though he 

 has no gall-bladder in sight, he has a large vessel in the liver 

 which answers the same end. We may here observe, the han- 

 diwork of God in placing a horse's gall-bladder differently 

 from those of other animals, when we consider that the.

 liver, it would always have been exposed to injuries. 



Symttoms. — The white of the eyes is yellow, also the inside 

 of the mouth, the tongue, and the bars in the mouth, are of a 

 dusky yelloAv ; the horse is dull, and refuses all kinds of 

 food ; a slow fever is perceived, which increases with the
