horse.

CURE FOR THE BOTS.

Take 1-1/2 pint of fresh milk, (just from the cow,) 1 pint of molasses.
Drench the horse and bleed him in the mouth; then give him 1 pint of
linseed oil to remove them.

FOR DISTEMPER.

Take mustard seed ground fine, tar and rye chop, make pills about the size
of a hen's egg. Give him six pills every six hours, until they physic him;
then give him one table spoonful of the horse powder mentioned before,
once a day, until cured. Keep him from cold water for six hours after
using the powder.

LONG FEVER.

In the first place bleed the horse severely. Give him spirits of nitre,
in water which should not be too cold, for it would chill him. Keep him
well covered with blankets, and rub his legs and body well; blister him
around the chest with mustard seed, and be sure to give him no cold water,
unless there is spirits of nitre in it.

RHEUMATIC LINIMENT.

Take croton oil, aqua ammonia, f.f.f; oil of cajuput, oil of origanum, in
equal parts. Rub well. It is good for spinal diseases and weak back.

CUTS AND WOUNDS OF ALL KINDS.

One pint of alcohol, half ounce of gum of myrrh, half ounce aloes, wash
once a day.

SPRAINS AND SWELLINGS.

Take 1-1/2 ounces of harts-horn, 1 ounce camphor, 2 ounces spirits of
turpentine, 4 ounces sweet oil, 8 ounces alcohol. Anoint twice a day.

FOR GLANDERS.

Take of burnt buck's horn a table spoonful, every three days for nine
days. If there is no relief in that time, continue the powder until there
is relief.

SADDLE OR COLLAR LINIMENT.

One ounce of spirits of turpentine, half ounce of oil of spike, half ounce
essence of wormwood, half ounce castile soap, half ounce gum camphor, half
ounce sulphuric ether, half pint alcohol, and wash freely.

LINIMENT TO SET THE STIFLE JOINT ON A HORSE.

One ounce oil of spike, half ounce origanum, half ounce oil amber. Shake
it well and rub the joints twice a day until cured, which will be in two
or three days.

EYE WATER.

I have tried the following and found it an efficient remedy. I have tried
it on my own eyes and those of others. Take bolus muna 1 ounce, white
vitrol 1 ounce, alum half ounce, with one pint clear rain water: shake it
well before using. If too strong, weaken it with rain water.

LINIMENT FOR WINDGALLS, STRAINS AND GROWTH OF LUMPS ON MAN OR HORSE.

One ounce oil of spike, half ounce origanum, half ounce amber, aqua fortis
and sal amoniac 1 drachm, spirits of salts
