LOTIONS. 



1 6. MERCURIUS CORROSIVUS LOTION. 



Corosive sublimate, i drachm, 

 Hot water, i pint. 



Useful in the reduction of ring-bones, bone-spavins, splents, 

 side-bones, thickened tendons, etc. For these purposes it 

 should be applied with friction of the hand for a day or two, 

 morning and evening, or until soreness is produced ; when its 

 application should be discontinued, the parts oiled, and washed 

 with soap and water daily until the soreness is removed, when 

 the process should be repeated until the object is attained. 



I have found this the most useful of all antiseptic and stim- 

 ulant lotions in Quittors and other ulcerous affections, of the 

 foot, such as Grease, Thrush, Canker, etc.
