FOR A BRUISED EYE.

Take rabbit’s fat, and use as above directed.  Bathe freely with fresh spring water.  I have cured many bloodshot eyes with this simple remedy.

POLL-EVIL OR FISTULA.

Take of Spanish flies 1 oz., gum euphorbium 3 drachms, tartar emetic 1 oz., rosin 3 oz.; mix and pulverize, and then mix them with a half lb. of lard.  Anoint every three days for three weeks; grease the parts affected with lard every four days.  Wash with soap and water before using the salve.  In poll-evil, if open, pulverize black bottle glass, put as much in each ear as will lay on a dime.  The above is recommended in outside callous, such as spavin, ringbone, curbs, windgalls, etc. etc.

FOR THE FERSEY.

Take 1 quart of sassafras root bark, 1 quart burdock root, spice wood broke fine, 1 pint rattle weed root.  Boil in 1-1/2 gallons of water; scald bran; when cool give it to the horse once a day for 3 or 4 days.  Then bleed him in the neck and give him the horse powder as directed.  In extreme cases, I also rowel in the breast and hind legs, to extract the corruption and remove the swelling.  This is also an efficient remedy for blood diseases, etc., etc.

TO MAKE THE HAIR GROW ON MAN OR BEAST.

Take milk of sulphur 1/2 drachm, sugar of lead 1/2 drachm, rose water 1/2 gill, mix and bathe well twice a day for ten days.

CHOLERA OR DIARRHEA TINCTURE.

1 oz. of laudanum, 1 oz. of spirits of camphor, 1 oz. spirits of nitre, 1/2 oz. essence of peppermint, 20 drops of chloroform; put all in a bottle, shake well, and take 1/2 teaspoonful in cold water once every six, twelve and twenty-four hours, according to the nature of the case.

CURE FOR THE HEAVES.

Give 30 grains of tartar emetic every week until cured.

PROCESS OF CAUSING A HORSE TO LAY DOWN.

Approach him gently upon the left side, fasten a strap around the ancle of his fore-foot; then raise the foot gently, so as to bring the knee against the breast and the foot against the belly.  The leg being in this position, fasten the strap around his arm, which will effectually prevent him from putting that foot to the ground again.  Then fasten a strap around the opposite leg, and bring it over his shoulder, on the left side, so that you can catch hold of it; then push these gently, and when he goes to fall, pull the strap, which will bring him on his knees.

Now commence patting him under the belly; by continuing your gentle strokes upon the belly, you will, in a few minutes, bring him to his knees behind.  Continue the process, and he will lie entirely down, and submit himself wholly to your treatment.  By thus proceeding gently, you may handle his feet and legs in any way you choose.
