cannot be expressed ; it is called intuitive perception (ilmi scenu), 
it cannot be put down in a commonplace book. 
“ If the colour of the caruncle be pinkish, then understand ye 
nought ails him. 
If the corner of the eye be pale-coloured, this comes of his 
having surdee (cold); accordingly, give him about two tuka weight 
of green ginger after his corn, continuing this for three or four days: 
or give him a date or almond, in the same manner, but not more 
than one of each. 
“ If the corner of the eye be yellowish, the horse has hadee ; then 
mix black pepper with flour made from ‘moth,' and give him some 
for ten or twenty days before he gets his water; or mix about two 
pice weight of dry ginger with six mashas of bhang in a little 
flour, and give it him after his corn, but not for more than three 
days: or you may give him four pice weight of fennel (‘ soa') in 
his corn for five or ten days together. 
If the corner of a horse’s eye be very red, this is Butanu 
Soorkh; he then has a fever. Pound up equal parts of Tirphula 
(hur, hukera, and amla) at evening time; take five tolahs of this 
and steep in an earthen vessel. Give it him fasting, before dawn, 
then take him out to exercise; continue to give him this until he 
gets well. Or give him a couries weight of oil in water for one 
day only, and, if the redness extends over the whole eye, the fever 
is very high: give him tirphulu and kuteera, and white zeerus, in 
equal parts. 
‘‘ If the redness be extreme, and small black specks (chittee 
siyah) be diffused through it, then you may despair of that horse 
living : holes have formed in his liver. 
“ If his urine be white, then know he has surdee (cold). 
“ Give him hot musalu, as laid down before. 
But if it be yellow and thick, then give him the remedy for 
hadee. 
“ If it be red, then it is a sign of fever. I have mentioned 
what to do for that:—lookback. 
“ If a horse voids thin dung, then he does not digest his corn 
well: if you mind me, give him no corn for several days, but give 
him musalu, and let there be two pice weight of bhang in it. If 
there be slime in the dung, he has anu; give him (race) mustard. 
“ If you wish to fatten a colt, boil one seer of bruised wheat in ten 
seers of milk; mix one seer of sugar in that: feed with this after he 
has had his water. This is called kheer. 
“ But you must always give black pepper with the above. It 
is not good to give ^ kheer' alone; it is to be given thus :—Pound 
four pice weight of black pepper, mix with flour, and administer; 
after that give him water.”
