FOR SORE FEET. 



Some huntsmen use Friars' balsam alone, or a 

 styptic tincture made of oil of vitriol, five drops, and 

 tincture of myrrli, one ounce, which is a good remedy. 

 But the following is the very best application which 

 I have ever tried ; I had it from the late Mr. J. 

 Warde's kennel in Berkshire (a very flinty country), 

 where it was used for many years : 



Blue vitriol, three ounces 

 Roch alum, three ounces 

 Vinegar, one and a half pint. 



To be mixed together. Let it be kept warm for 

 two months, either near the fire, or let it be buried in 

 a heap of stable-manure. The older it is the more 

 astringent it becomes.
