Cure effectual.
_Colic._--After bleeding copiously in the mouth, take a half pound of raw
cotton, wrap it around a coal of fire in such a way as to exclude the air;
when it begins to smoke, hold it under the horse's nose until he becomes
easy. Cure certain in ten minutes.
_Distemper._--Take 1-1/2 gallons blood from the neck vein, then give a
dose of Sassafras Oil, 1-1/2 ounces is sufficient. Cure speedy and
certain.
_Fistula._--When it makes its appearance, rowel both sides of the
shoulder; if it should break, take one ounce of verdigris, 1 ounce oil
rosin, 1 ounce copperas, pulverize and mix together. Use it as a salve.
RECEIPT FOR BONE SPAVIN OR RING-BONE.
Take a table-spoonful of corrosive sublimate; quicksilver about the size
of a bean; 3 or 4 drops of muriatic acid; iodine about the size of a pea,
and lard enough to form a paste; grind the iodine and sublimate fine as
flour, and put altogether in a cup, mix well, then shear the hair all off
the size you want; wash clean with soap-suds, rub dry, then apply the
medicine. Let it stay on five days; if it does not take effect, take it
off, mix it over with a little more lard, and add some fresh medicine.
When the lump comes out, wash it clean in soap-suds, then apply a poultice
of cow dung, leave it on twelve hours, then apply healing medicine.
TEMPERANCE BEVERAGE.
One quart of water, three pounds of sugar, one teaspoonful of lemon oil,
one table-spoonful of flour, with the white of four eggs, well beat up.
