nose a darker color, and as the disease progresses of a 

 more purple hue or tinge in spots; and in both of these 

 diseases the animal is greatly weakened and distressed 

 by exercise. While in colic, the strength is not much 

 affected, and relief is often obtained by motion, and rub- 

 bing the belly. 



I leave for others to designate the use of the scalpel, 

 in dividing the skin, flesh, cords, muscles, tendons, and 

 fibres of the animal, &c. 



No. 57. — Lightning Liniment. 



Good for all nervous affections, rheumatism, &c. 

 Take one part of chloroform, two of laudanum, and four 

 of spirits of turpentine; mix them together and bathe 

 the legs, back, or any other part of the body, where the 

 animal is in great agony, and it will afford immediate 

 relief. 



No. 58. — Mullen Oil. 



Horsemen, and others, attend. This is not the least 

 in value, if it is towards the last of my list. Good for 

 inflammatory rheumatism or any kind of a sore, by ap- 

 plying it to the part affected. Excellent for catarrh, or 

 glanders, by throwing it up the nostrils, and anointing 

 the temples and forehead. I obtain it by picking the 

 blossoms in summer and placing them in a glass bottle; 

 when full, hang it up in a warm place where the sun can 

 strike it, until the blossoms are decayed; there will be 

 an oil rise on top, which you can turn off, and it is fit 

 for use. This is the Indian's greatest remedy for taking 

 film from the eye.
