Shake these ingredients together until thoroughly incor- 

 porated ; then apply what is necessary to the skin by means of 

 a clean, large sized painter's brush. After a liberal use of the 

 above mixture, the skin sometime afterwards should be washed 

 as above directed. 



Inteehai; Eemedies. — Amongst the best remedies for 

 internal use, I may enumerate Sulphur, Arsenicum 2, and 

 Ammonia Citrate of Iron. 



Sulphur. — Use the Sulphur in drachm doses of the 1st 

 trituration, and give a dose night and morning upon the 

 tongue, as directed at page 146. 



Arsenicum 2. — This remedy may either be given alone or 

 in alternation with Sulphur. If used in alternation with the 

 latter, administer it in 2-drachm doses every morning, and a 

 Sulphur powder every night. 



Ammonia Citrate of Iron is an excellent remedy to give 

 when the patient is feeble, spiritless, and poor. Alternate it 

 with Sulphur. Grive the Iron in 2-drachm doses, in half a 

 pint of cold water every morning, and a Sulphur Powder every 

 night, for several days in succession. 



Diet.— The diet of the patient should be changed, and 

 it should be of a liberal nature. Boiled barley, bran, locust, 

 carrots, boiled oats, and good old hay should constitute the 

 principal articles to use. (See Section VI,) 



Stable. — The stable, the clothing, harness, or if a draught 

 horse, the gears, together with all brushes, combs, and dusters, 

 should be thoroughly cleansed, otherwise the malady will again 

 appear and run a similar course to what it did in the first 

 instance. In addition to washing the above articles, many of 

 them should be painted over with the creasote mixture.
