Horse Ointment. 



Into a clean pipkin, that holds about a quart, 

 put the bigness of a pullet's ^gg^ of yellow rosin, 

 when it is melted over a middling fire, add the 

 same quantity of bees wax; when that is melted, 

 put in half a pound of hog's lard; when it is dis- 

 solved, put in two ounces of honeys, when that is 

 dissolved, put in half a pound of common turpen- 

 tine — keep it gently boiling, and scirring with a 

 stick all the time — when the turpentine is dissolved, 

 put in two ounces of verdigrease, finely powdered, 

 but before you put in the verdigrease, you must 

 take ofi' the pipkin, (else it will rise into the fire 

 in a moment,) set it on again, and give it two or 

 three stirrings, then strain it through a coarse sieve 

 into a clean vessel for use, throw away the dregs. 

 This is an extraordinary ointment for wound or 

 bruise in flesh, or hoof, broken knees, galled 

 backs, bites, cracked heels, mallenders, or when 

 you cut a horse, to heal and keep the flies away, 

 nothing takes fire out of a burn or scald so soon.
