KNEE, in the Manege, add — Broken knees very much 

 depreciate the value of a horfe ; and therefore various 

 methods have been propoled for repairing and corretling 

 this injur)'. Mr. Tephn recommends, firft of all, to wafh 

 the injured parts well with a iponge and warm water, fo as 

 thoroughly to cleanfe them from gravel or fand ; and then 

 plentifully embrocating them with camphorated lead-water, 

 and bandaging over them a pledgit of towmoiftened with the 

 fame, repeating the operation once or twice, if neceffarv. 

 This treatment ftiould be continued, that a cruil or cicatrix 

 may be formed, which will render unftuous or greafy appli- 

 cations unneceffary. But if the laceration be confiderable, 

 fuppuration wiU enfue, and ftiould be encouraged by a 

 common poidtice, and the cure completed by digeftive oint- 

 ments. Mr. Lawrence propofes to make the hair grow 

 after fuch accidents, by, bindnig a piece of ftieet-lead on the 

 part after the wound is healed ; and he alfo mentions a con- 

 trivance by which the knees of a valuable horfe may be pre- 

 ferved from this accident. (See Hose.) He advifes to 

 wafti the wound clean with a linen rag and warm foap-fuds, 

 and having wiped the parts dry to apply brandy. Friar's 

 balfam (compound tinfture of benzoin) will, he fays, heal 

 broken knees very fpeedily. A kind of hofe, or boots, is 



K Y D 



ufed to defend the legs of race-horfes in travelling ; and 

 fome kind of guard, Taftened above and below the knee, 

 vvould be very ufeful to poft-horfes. For broken knees 

 Mr. Kydmg recommends a mixture of i dr. of cantharides 

 ui hne powder with i oz. of ohve-oil, which ftiould be 

 applied occafionally with the hand to the wounded part, 

 i his. he lays, by its gently ftimulating power, will brace the 

 parts, promote the fore, and facilitate the growth of hair.
