two ounces, of green copperars half an ounc€; mix 

 them well together, and hold them over a fire until 

 they are as hot as the horse can bear them; then 

 pour them into the ahspess, and close the lips by 

 one or two stiches; this is to remain several days 

 without any other dressing except bathing wi«h 

 spirits of wine. Should matter flow in great abun- 

 dance, and of thin consistency, the above applica- 

 ti(>n must be again repeated until the matter decrea- 

 ses in quantity and becomes of a whitish color and 

 healthy appearance. 



Remedies for Sjjrains. 



Mason''s Earner prescribes the following reme- 

 dies for strains. 



NU3IBER I. 



Take of sharp vinegar, one pint, spirit of any 

 kind half a pint, camphor one ounce ; mix them well 

 together, and bathe the part injured twice a day; 

 a piece of flannel wet with the mixture, and wrap- 

 ped around the part, will be very beneficial; take 

 from the neck vein half a gallon of blood. 



NUMBER II. 



Take of opodeldoc a piece the size of a marble, 

 and rub it on the srained part with the naked hand, 

 until the hand becomes dry, twice a day; should 

 the injured part resist both of those remedies, you 

 may conclude the injury is a very serfbus one, 

 which nothing but time can relieve, and the horse 

 must be turned out upon grass a suflicient length 

 of lime for nature herself to perform the great op- 

 eration.
