One quarter of the above ointment may be 

 rubbed well upon the part with the hand, and re- 

 peated once a week ; and, after a proper interval, 

 the whole may be repeated, if necefsary. The 

 body should be kept gently open, and one of the 

 following mild diuretic balls, given every other 

 day, for twelve or fourteen days ; afterwards, one 

 every six days. 



DIURETJC BALLS. 



Take yellow resin in powder, one pound and 

 a half; common turpentine, one pound; 

 Castile soap, twelve ounces : dilsolve the 

 resin and turpentine over a slow fire, then 

 add the soap, first cutting it in small pieces; 

 and after they are sufficiently incorporated, 

 set them aside to cool, and form into balls. 



The common weight of these balls should be 

 one ounce, the small balls about six drams, and the 

 largest about an ounce and a half. 



But if, after a sufficient trial, the above method 

 should fail, firing, as recommended in the treat- 

 ment of strains, must be advised, and the horse 

 sent to grafs.
