The qtiantit}' of muriate of quicksilver^' 

 may be gradually increased, as far as the 

 horse's strength will allow. When violent 

 sickness, purging, or excessive staling is pro- 

 duced by it, it will be advisable either to dis- 

 continue it for two or three davs, or to di- 

 minish the dose cousiderablv. One dram of 

 opium will sometimes prevent such violent 

 efiects^
