ANTISPASMODICS. 197

Bemark — I have generally found the above 

 receipts more efficacious, when preceded by 

 a laxative bally or a course of the laxative al^ 

 tcratives. 



They are to be given every morning until 

 the desired effect is produced, unless, in the 

 mean time, they should take off the appe- 

 tite, or occasion profuse staling, in which 

 case they should be discontinued for a few 

 days. When any appearance of fulness, or 

 plethora, accompanies those cougiis, bleed- 

 ing is advisable ; and whenever costiveness 

 occurs, a laxative ball should be given. 



Coughs which arise from irritation about 

 the throat, are distinguished by their almost 

 constantly harrassing the animal ; and these 

 are often relieved by emollient drinks, and 

 the following: 

 No. 4. Opium, one dram. 



Castile soap, two drams. 

 Camphor, one dram and a half. 

 Oil of aniseed, twenty drops. 

 To be made into a ball, with syrup, for 

 one dose.
