THE HORSEMAN'S GUIDE

AND

FARRIER.

I will here insert some of the most efficient cures of diseases to which
the horse is subject. I have practised them for many years with
unparalleled success. I have cured horses with the following remedies,
which, (in many cases,) have been given up in despair, and I never had a
case in which I did not effect a cure.


CURE FOR COLIC.

Take 1 gill of turpentine, 1 gill of opium dissolved in whisky; 1 quart of
water, milk warm. Drench the horse and move him about slowly. If there is
no relief in fifteen minutes, take a piece of chalk, about the size of an
egg, powder it, and put it into a pint of cider vinegar, which should be
blood warm, give that, and then move him as before.

ANOTHER.--Take 1 ounce laudanum, 1 ounce of ether, 1 ounce of tincture of
assafoetida, 2 ounces tincture of peppermint, half pint of whisky; put all
in a quart bottle, shake it well and drench the horse.
