in which old leather, woollen rags, and brown sugar were 
named as producers of healing smoke. An easy way of 
applying smoke to wounds in animals is by means of a bee-

A horse’s knee that was very badly broken was cured in little 
more than a fortnight by means of smoke and Fniar’s balsam. 
The mode of treatment was as follows :— 
Smoke was applied to the wound, as above, with the bee- 
smoker, for half an hour at a time; after which it was gently 
touched with a feather dipped in Friar’s balsam. This treat- 
ment was repeated thrice daily for three days, after that twice 
a-day for two weeks, when a complete cure had been effected.
