twelve hours, which may be extended with advantage to 

 twenty-four hours, previous to the dose being given. 

 To a foal on the mare give — 



Linseed Oil ... ... ^ pint 



Turpentine ... ... ^ tablespoon 



To a yearling- 

 Linseed Oil ^ pint 



Turpentine ... ... 1 tablespoon 



To a full-grown horse — 



Linseed Oil ... ... ... ... ^ pint 



Turpentine .. ... ... ... 1 oz. (2 tablespoons) 



Camphor ... ... ... ^ ,, 



The Camphor should be put in the oil the previous evening, 

 when it will be dissolved by the following morning. 



It is of the utmost importance that the Turpentine should 

 be thoroughly incorporated in the oil, and both should be so 

 shaken up together that the Turpentine breaks up into small 

 globules. This is easier effected if the Turpentine is put at 

 first into a soda-water bottle, with the white of a raw egg, 

 and thoroughly shaken before adding the Linseed Oil. 



Another successful remedy is to give for three mornings — 



Calomel 60 grs. 



Black Antimony ... ... ... ... ... 60 ,, 



to be followed on the fourth day by a purging ball not 

 exceeding 4 drs. of aloes. 



After either dose has been completed it is a good plan to 

 give daily for a fortnight — 



Powdered Gentian 1 dr. 



Cammomile ... ... ... ... ... ••• 1 ,. 



Ginger ... ... ... ... ... ••• 1 „ 



Sulphate of Iron 1 „ 



in the early morning feed. The Sulphate of Iron needs to 

 be finely powdered, and no nodules should be left in it.
