CREOSOTE. 229 



Dose. — In horses and cattle, one to three drachms are 

 the proper doses given twice in the day. 



External use of the sulphate of copper is often called 

 for as a caustic in wounds and sores growing proud flesh, 

 which are readily controlled by it, simply by touching 

 the parts with a piece of the crystal in powder, or in so- 

 lution. 



For diseases of the eye, I think it has no superior. 

 For this purpose, three grains of the powdered sulphate 

 to an ounce of rain water, and applied with a soft fea-

 and may be considered an excellent medicine for young 

 calves having weak stomachs. The bruised seeds should 

 be given in two drachm doses, in the milk which is given 

 to the calf. 



Creosote. — This is a peculiar smelling fluid derived 

 from tar. Creosote has had the credit of curing glanders

 of farcy and glanders in the horse are greatly benefited 

 by its use.
