110 PUTTING INTO CONDITION. 



Drench : this, mixed in half a pint of beer, or in one 

 wine-glass of brandy, and three of hot water. These 

 relaxed constitutioned horses should, every other 

 evening, have their grain boiled, and not be fed 

 wholly on gram. 



A pill, the size of a pea, is often given by natives 

 in cases of fatigue, or in gripes. The pill is thus 

 concocted, but it requires- a native to make it, who 

 has been taught how to prepare it, and then it will 

 keep for years : Six drachms of solid arsenic, and six 

 quarts of onion or moolee juice are put in a pot, and 

 placed on the fire for eight hours, till all the juice is 

 absorbed. About one drachm of the arsenic is lost 

 in the residue, and the remainder is made into sixty 

 pills ; each pill, therefore, contains about five grains 

 of arsenic. 



The following is also given by them when a horse 

 is fatigued, and necessitated to continue his journey

 bhang ; 1 dr. alum ; 2 drs. googul ; 4 drs. turmeric ;
