be given at intervals with the fever powders ; and 

 subsequently, the fever drink prescribed below, for 

 all other descriptions of horse recovering from fever. 



Fever Powder, No. 1. 



Powdered nitre, 1 ounce. 

 Emetic tartar, 2 drachms. 

 Mix for one dose. 



No. 2. 



Powdered nitre, G drachms. 



Camphor, 2 drachms. 



Calx of antimony, \\ drachms. Mix. 



If either be deemed more desirable in the form 

 of a ball, this may be effected by mixing the powder 

 with mucilage and meal ; but in the form of powder 

 mixed with his corn is most eligible, as the medi- 

 cine then acts earlier, whereas the ball presently 

 descends into the blind gut. 



Fever Drink. 



Cream of tartar, 1 ounce. 



Turmeric, 1 ounce. 



Diapente, |- an ounce. 

 Mix in powder, and add to a quart of warm gruel, 

 to be given twice a day. This is a good cooling 

 stomachic, and restores the appetite, at the same 

 time that the disposition to the return of fever is 

 kept down : if found of marked service, the doses 

 may be extended to three or four times a day, for 

 a week or more.
