LP. in.] strains: bandaging. 485 



No. 2. 



Crude sal ammoniac, 2 ounces, 



Vinegar, one quart. 

 Mil in a bottle, and rub the parts twiqe daily. Let 

 a long bandage, dipped in the embrocation just 

 prescribed, be passed tightly round the parts, be- 

 ginning at the bottom and making it fast above the 

 knee, or the hock, as the case may be. Moisten 

 the bandage after it is on. 



No. 3. 



Cantharides, in powder, 1 drachm, 



Spirits of wine, 2 ounces. 

 Mix, and rub it on the part. Although this acts as 

 a very mild blister, the horse's head must be tied 

 up for a few hours while it is operating. 



A course of treatment fchst has been followed in 

 this manner steadily, and with due caution, seldom 

 fails to restore the animal to a comparative sound- 

 ness If not completely so ; though the swelling 

 may remain after the lameness has ceased, it ge- 

 iH 'ally subsides when the convalescent animal can 

 be permitted to walk out for a little exercise, which 

 ihould take place gradually, and the use of a loose 

 stall allowed, than which there is not in the whole 

 dogue of remedies a more certain adjunct to be 

 found. Going out too early after apparent re- 

 covery is very likely to bring on a relapse, and a 

 pse, as every one knows, is always more dif- 

 ficult to remove than the original disorder. Time
