5. Eye Wash. 
The following proportions are to make an eight-ounce 
bottle of eye wash: 
Add enough hard water to make eight ounces, shake 
thoroughly and the wash is ready for use. 
This makes a very cheap and effectual wash for sore 
eyes, or sores around the eyes in all kinds of animals. Apply 
twice a day after bathing with lukewarm water or new milk. 
6. Carbolic Oil. 
The following proportions are for a four-ounce bottle: 
Olive or Sweet Oil 4 ounces. 
Carbolic Acid 20 drops. 
Shake well together and this makes a splendid applica- 
tion for healing wounds. 
7. Green Salve. 
The following are the proportions for making green 
salve: 
First. — Take of mutton tallow, one-half pound, lard, 
three-quarters of a pound, beeswax, two ounces; put in a pot 
and stir over a hot fire until it is melted. 
Second. — Continue stirring, and pour in one-half ounce 
of verdigris. Stir it over the fire for fifteen minutes. 
Third. — Take off the fire and add one ounce of spirits of 
turpentine and continue stirring until it is cold, when it is 
ready for use. 
This is one of the best healing salves known, especially 
when a wound is nearly healed, as it keeps the wound soft, 
draws the edges together and allows the hair to grow over 
better. Melt it in a spoon and apply with a feather.

Mix thoroughly and this is one of the best blisters for 
blistering bony enlargements, such as splints, spavins, ring- 
bones, sidebones, etc. Rub into the part well, grease it three 
days after, and in three weeks repeat the blister. Repeat in
