208 PIIARMACOPCEIA. 



Remark — The strong blisters, particular- 

 ly the last, is a good remedy for splents and 

 bone spavins, but they must be used with 

 caution. The last is apt to destroy the hair, 

 an inconvenience that nnust often be submit- 

 ted to in curing a bone spavin or splent. 

 Blisters are the most effectual applications 

 for removing: those swellinc'S and lame- 

 nesses, which are the consequences of 

 Strains, bruises, and hard work ; but they 

 should never be appUed while the inflam- 

 mation is considerable. When blisters are 

 employed for the removal of bog or blood 

 spavins, curbs, or windgalls, they generally 

 require to be repeated two or three times. 

 Blisters are oiten employed to remove in- 

 ternal inflammation, particularly when the 

 luuG^s are attacked, for this purpose I think 

 the following mustard bhster by far the best. 



MUSIARD BUSTER. 



Best flour of mustard, eight ounces. 



Water eno\iG,h to make it into a paste. 

 To this, add oil of turpentme, two ources, 

 water of pure ammonia, one ounce. To 

 be well mixed, and rubbed into the sides 

 with the hand ; if the bowels are aflfected, it 

 should be rubbed all over the "belly j and \i
