Canker. Cut away freely all the diseased parts, and if neressary draw the frog, then apply the Liniment for canker. it costive after it, give a pint of castor oil. Repea if necessary. Eyes. Inflammation of the eyes is often cured by sca Warm 6 ounces of tar, mix with it drop by drop rifying with a lancet the inside of the upper and 1 oz. by measure of oil of vitriol, then add 1 oz. lower brow, and the distended vessels of the eye of oi' of turpentine. Bind this firmly on the part, itself. It is to be remembered that in treating ar destroying all the diseased protuberances with In-inflammation of this important organ, we should nar caustic. When the wound looks healthy, dress it with the green ointment. Capped hocks. If the swelling proceed from a bruise or a blow, bathe it three or four times a day with salt and vinegar made warm. If it proceed from a natural cause, apply the suppurating poultice, and when matter is formed let it out, then use the green Ball for cough. Half an ounce of Venice soap, half an ounce of nitre, ten grains of tartar emetic, and ten grains of opium. Make these into a ball with honey, and give one every other night. Keep the horse warm and remedy costiveness by castor oil. Corne. Let the farrier cut them out with a sharp knife. Should they show a disposition to grow again, touch them with oil of vitriol or caustic and dress them with green ointment. Be careful in shoeing not to let the shoe press on the corn. Poultice the parts with carrots or turnips boiled soft three or four times, then anoint them with yellow basilicon mixed with a little green ointment. The gripes. As soon as the disease is observed, give the draught below, and a clyster cemposed of 8 oz. cominon salt in six quarts of water gruel or warm water. If there is great pain with quick pulse, take away three quarts of blood. The belly should be well rubbed with the mustard or other stimulating embrocation. If no relief is obtained in two hours repeat the draught and embrocation, and should even this fail give him a pint of castor oil with one and a half ounces of laudanum. If castor oil cannot be had a pint and a quarter of linseed oil may be used. Draught for gripes. Balsam copaiva 1 oz. oil of juniper 1 drachm, spirit of nitrous ether half an ounce, mint water 1 pint. Mix for one dose. Diabetes. This disorder, which consists in an involuntary discharge of the urine, which is pale and thin, frequently proves fatal. To cure it, take a quart of blood from the neck and give the following Ball for diabetes. Peruvian bark four drachms, ginger one drachm, proceed precisely as if treating a human being labouring under the same complaint, and keep the animal on short allowance, prevent costiveness, keep the stable cool and dark. Soreness or weakness of the eyes is cured by bleeding from the neck and using the following Eye-writer. To one quart of water put three drachms of the sugar of lead and two drachms of white vitriol. When dissolved let it settle and pour off the clear liquor for use. A drop may be put into each eye three times a day with a feather. Film or cataract. There is no remedy for this but an experienced farrier. There are a variety of washes, &c. recommended by various authors, but they are useless. Cure for farcy. Open the ulcers and touch the inside of the edges slightly with powdered verdigrease, by means of a camel's hair encil. At the same time give the following ball: White arsenic eight grains, and corrosive sublimate six grains, pow dered and mixed with flour or bread or any other vehicle that will form a ball with molasses. Keep the animal warm, mix chopped carrots with his mashes. Intermit one day and give a similar bal! ||-if it purge add 10 grains of opium to it. Attend constantly to the ulcers; wash them with warn soap-suds. and keep the animal by himself-if the disease gains the nostrils and head, and becomes glanders, shoot him at once. There is no remedy. Grease. Wash the part well with warm soap-suds twice a day, and if the swelling is great apply a poultice to it, when the sores are cleansed touch then with a rag or feather dipped in the vulnerary water. Foundered feet. This is known by the contraction of the hoof, which will appear considerably smaller than the sound one. The horse just touches the ground with the toe of the foundered foot on account of pain, and stands in such a tottering way that you may shove him over with your hand. Cure. Take off the shoe, bleed freely from the thigh vein, and purge two or three times. Keep the hair close trimmed and the parts clean. Hoof-bound. Cut down several lines from the coronet down to the toe all round the hoof and fill the cuts with tallow and soap mixed. Take off the shoes and (if you can spare him) turn the animal into a wet meadow, where his feet will be kept moist. Never remove the sole nor burn the lines down, as this increases the evil. y or too soon; this common but erroneous practice || Ruubarb in powder 1 ounce, magnesia half an ounce, calomel 1 scruple, oil of aniseed 1 drachm, make up a ball with honey and liquorice powder. Next day give the horse 1 fluid ounce of liquid laudanum, with 20 grains of tartar emetic in a pint of water. On the third day repeat the purge, then the drench, until the animal is well. Inflammation of the lungs. Bleed the animal copiously as soon as the complaint is perceived, and repeat it in six hours if the fever, quickness of breathing, &c. do not abate. Blister his des, rower the chest, and give the following ball, which is to be taken morning and evening until the staling is considerably increased, one a day will then be sufficient. Grass or bran mashes should be the food. The ball.-Powdered nitre 6 drachms, camphor 1 drachm, as much syrup and linseed meal as will form the ball. Mullenders. Wash the cracks well with warm soap-suds and a sponge, and then with the vulnerary water twice every day, wipe the parts dry and apply the green ointment. Remove .he shoe and ascertain carefully the extent of the injury; if the crack is superficial, fill it with the composition below, and keep the foot cool and moist. If the crack has extended to the sensible parts, and you can see any fungous flesh, with a small drawing knife remove the edges of the cracked horn that press upon it. Touch the fungus with caustic, dip a roll of tow or linen in tar and bind it firmly over it. The whole foot is to be kept in a bran poultice for a few days or until the lameness is removed. A shoe may then be put on so as not to press on the diseased part. The pledget of tow may now be removed, the crack filled with the composition and the animal turned into some soft meadow. Composition for sand-crack. Beeswax four ounces, yellow resin two ounces, ommon turpentine one ounce, tallow or suet half n ounce. To be melted together. Sit-fasts Take away a quart of blood and throw up a laxative clyster; then give one ounce of salt-petre and one fluid ounce of sweet spirits of nitre in a || pint of water. Strangles. This is known by a swelling between the jawbone and the root of the tongue. If a large tumour appear under the jaw apply the suppurating poultice. When it is ripe open it, squeeze out the matter and reapply a warin poultice. In a few days it will run off. Give warm bran mashes and gentle exercise. Thrush. Remove the shoe and pare off all the ragged parts so as to expose the diseased narts; after cleaning the frog nicely apply a solution of blue vitriol and shortly after pour some melted tar ointment into the cleft of the frog and cover its whole surface with tow soaked in the same, and on the tow a flat piece of wood about the width of the frog, one of its ends passing under the toe of the shoe, the other extending to the back part of the frog and bound down by cross pieces of wood the ends of which are placed under the shoe. Re peat the dressing every day. Vives. This is a disease most common to young horses, and consists in a long swelling of the parotid gland, beginning at the roots of the ears and descending downwards. If it is painful and inflamed, apply 'he poultice if it suppurates open the lump, Jet out the matter and dress with the green ointment If it is hard and indolent apply strong mercurial ointment to disperse it and bleed moderately. Wind galls. These swellings appear on each side of the back sinew, above the fetlock. It is dangerous to puneture them as is sometimes done, as it may produce an incurable lameness. Tight bandages and moistening the parts frequently with a strong solution of sal ammoniac in vinegar may do some good. Wounds. All the rules laid down in this book for the treatment of wounds in the human subject, apply strictly to horses. As in simple cuts, however, sticking plaster cannot be used, the edges of the wound should be neatly stitched together. Much can be done also by the judicious application of bandages. Farriers, generally, are in the habit of pursuing such absurd, cruel, and fatal practices in these cases, either by cutting off a part that appears to be partly torn from its connection, or by using stimulating applications, that it becomes necessary to repeat again, that all the rules laid down for the treatment of wounds in this work as applicable to man are equally so to the noble animal of which we are speaking. Read over these rules. Substi tute the word "horse" for "patient "and you wil. be at no loss how to proceed. Bleeding in general. Bleeding is often the most useful and efficacious means of curing diseases in horses, &c. In in Are horny substances on the back under the sad- flammatory affections, it is generally the first reme dy resorted to, and its immediate salutary effects are often surprising. When it is necessary to lessen the whole quantity of bood in the system, open the jugular or neck vein, If the inflammation is local, bleed where it can be conveniently done, either from the part affected, or in its vicinity, as by opening the plate vein, superficial vein of the thigh, or tempo ral arteries. In fevers of all kinds, and when inflammation attacks any important organ, as the brain, eyes, Jungs, stomach, intestines, liver, kidneys, bladder, &c. bleeding is of the greatest use. It diminishes the quantity of blood in the body; and by this means prevents the bad consequences of inflammation. The quantity of blood to be taken varies according to the age, size, condition, and constitution of the horse, and urgency of the symptoms. From a large strong horse, four or six quarts will generally be requisite, and this may be repeated in smaller quantities if symptoms demand The blood, in these diseases, must flow from a large orifice made in the vein. A horse should never be suffered to bleed upon the ground, but into a measure in order that the proper quantity may be taken. Young horses, also, while shedding their teeth, have sometimes much constitutional irritation, which bleeding relieves. But in these affections it is very rarely necessary to bleed to the same extent as in fevers, &c.; two or three quarts generally suffice to be taken away. it. Fulness of blood. Moderate bleeding, as from two to three or four quarts, is also used to remove fulness of habit, or plethora, attended with slight inflammatory symptons. In this case the eyes appear heavy, dull, red or inflamed, frequently closed as if asleep; the pulse small, and oppressed; the heat of the body somewhat increased; the legs swell; the hair also rubs off. Horses that are removed from grass to a warm stable, and full fed on hay and corn, and not sufficiently exercised, are very subject to one or more of these symptoms. Regulating the quantity of food given to him, proper exercise, and occasional laxatives, as the following powder, will be commonly found sufficient after the first bleeding, and operation of an aloetic purge. In slight affections of this kind, a brisk purge will often alone be sufficient. Laxative and diaphoretic powder. Take of crocus of antimony, finely levigated, nitre, cream of tartar, and flower of sulphur, of each, 4 oz. Powder and mix them well together for use. One table-spoonful of this mixture may be given every night and morning, in as much scalded bran, or a feed of corn moistened with water, that the powders may adhere thereto. This powder will be found excellent for such horses as are kept on dry meat, whether they be in the stable, or travel on the road; also for stallions in the spring of the year, as they not only keep the body cool and open, but cause him to cast his coat, and make his skin appear as bright as silk. Purging. | ing their operation, lest the horse take cold. The water given him must be warm, and when exercised he should be properly clothed. Horses that are kept on dry meat, and are full fed, with little or no exercise, require regular purging every six months, with two or three doses each time, allowing proper intervals between each; and those horses which run in stage-coaches, chaises (whose labour is often more than their na tural strength is able to bear), and such whose legs are inclined to swell-all .equire purgative medicines; the use of which would be a means of preventing many of the diseases that attack this useful animal. To prepare horses for physic. After violent exercise, horses are liable to lose their appetite, and to have their stomach loade with crudities and indigested matter; the nonremoval of which, by the use of proper physic, is the chief cause why so many die daily. Previously to administering a purge, the body should be prepared. The proper method of preparing a horse for physic, is to give him two or three mashes of the scalded bran and oats, and warm water, for three or four days together. This will soften the fæces, and promote the operation of the medicine. But if a strong purge be given to a horse of costive habit, without preparation, it will probably occasion a violent inflammation. 1 Purgative balls for horses.

In obstinate grease and swellings of the legs, accompanied with lameness of the joints, dry coughs, worms, diseases of the skin, farey, apoplexy or staggers, affections of the liver, and several other diseases treated of in this book, mercurial purges are of the greatest service. They purge; destroy worms; generally increase the flow of urine; operate upon the skin, liver, and other viscera in a peeuliar manner; cause a healthful action in these parts; and remove many chronic complaints inci- Take of Epsom salts, 4 oz ; nitre, an oz.; dent to the horse.

After the first ball is given, the aloes may be eft out, and then the ball and drink may be given once a day (one in the morning, and the other in the evening), until a proper passage be obtained. Powerful mixture for fevers. If the fever still continue to increase, it will be proper to take a little more blood from him, and then to have recourse to the following fever powder. Take of emetic tartar, 1 oz.; calcined antimony, 2 oz.; calcined hartshorn, 1 oz. Mix, and grind them in a mortar to a fine powder; then put them in a bottle for use; 2 drachms of these powders are a proper dose for a horse. A dose of this powder, with one ounce of nitre, may be given twice or three times a day, in a pint of warm gruel, or be made into a ball with conserve of roses. If the fever be vic.ent, and the horse in a raging state, an ounce of tincture of opium may be added to each dose of powders. Drink for an inflammatory fever. Take of tartar emetic, 1 drachm; prepared kail, oz.; camphor, 1 drachm, rubbed into powder, with a few drops of spirit of wine. This drink is excellent for all kinds of inflammatory fevers; especially such as are attended with imminent danger. It may be given every four Hours, or three times a day, in a pint of watergruel. Purging ball for jaundice. Take of Barbadoes aloes, from 4 to 5 drachms; white antimonial powder, and Castille soap, each 2 drachms; calomel, 1 drachm. Mix, and beat them into a ball with a sufficient quantity of syrup of buckthorn.

Alterative balls for surfeit, mange, &c. Take of precipitated sulphur of antimony, gentian root, and socotrine aloes, each 1 oz. in fine powder; nitre, 2 oz.; calomel, and cantharides, in powder, each 2 drachms. Mix, and make them into a mass for balls, with honey or treacle. Each ball to weigh 1 ounce and a half. These balls will be found very useful in many diseases; such as surfeit, hidebound, mange, grease, or swelled legs, lameness of the joints, molten⚫ grease, inflammation of the eyes, and, indeed, in all lingering and obstinate diseases. One ball may be given every other morning, for a fortnight or three weeks together. It will be proper to repeat this ball every more. ing, and, if the disease is obstinate, every night and morning, and continue until the urine is diminished to about its natural quantity.

When the disorder is early discovered, or has newly come on, it will be proper to lose no time to get ready a clyster, and likewise a medicinal draught for removing the wind and abating the pain. After removing with the hand any excrement in the great gut that can be reached by it, a elyster, made of five or six quarts of water, or water-gruel, blood warm, and six or eight ounces of common salt, may be injected: and one or other of the following draughts may be given, before or about the same time: Draught for the same. Take of Venice turpentine, 1 oz., beat it up with the yolk of an egg, and then add of peppermint water, or even of cominon water, if the other is not at hand, I pint and a half (English measure) and 2 ounces of whiskey or gin. This will serve for one dose.

Laudanum draught. Laudanum may be used in cases of urgency, especially in the wet or lax gripes. Take a quart of beer, and make it a very little warmer than blood heat; then put a table-spoonful of powdered ginger into it, and a small wine-glassful of laudanum, just before it is given to the horse. This, in most cases, will give ease in a short time; but it the complaint is exceedingly violent, give about half the above quantity again in 15 or 20 minutes. As soon as the pain seems to be abated, if the belly is costive, give the horse a purgative. In case of looseness no purgative must be given, the laudanum, which is of a binding nature, will correct it. When pain is occasioned by inflammation, it is seldom proper to employ opium, or any medicine of that kind; but when it depends upon spasm, or irritation, no medicines are so beneficial. In inflammation of the bowels, for example, opium would certainly do much injury, but in flatulent or spasmodic colic, or gripes, it seldom fails of success. Another anodyne medicine. When horses are affected with colic, or where the use of anodynes are requisite, the following preparation may be given: namely, opium, 1 dr. or 60 grains; Castille soap, 2 dr., and powdered aniseed, half an ounce or 4 dr.; to be made into a ball with syrup, for one dose.
