232 COMPENDIUM OF THE VETERINART ART. 



No. 3. 



Unwashed calx of antimony, 2 oz. 



Calomel, - - 2 dr. 



Powdered anise-seeds, - 4 oz. 



Mix for eio^ht doses. 



Should a ball be thought more convenient 

 than a powder, the change may be easily 

 made by the addition of sirup and linseed 

 powder. 



A dose of the alterative powder should be 

 given every evening with the corn until the 

 whole quantity (that is, eight doses) are used. 



But the powder No. 3 should not be conti- 

 nued so long, on account of the calomel 

 which It contains, unless the horse be taken 

 great care of, and the effects of the medicine 

 carefully w^atched. Whenever it is observed 

 to occasion sickness, griping pains, loss of 

 appetite, or purging, it should be immediately 

 discontinued, until these symptoms go off.
