practicable, still the use of carrots as manger food can be resorted to. To this treatment may be added, after the administration of the physic, a nightly alterative. Crude antimony Supertartrate of potash of each 2 (cream of tartar) or 3 drs. Nitrate of potash (nitre) Or, Supertartrate of potash 2 or 3 drs. Nitrate of potash do. Powdered sulphur ¼ oz. Both of these will gently stimulate both the stomach and kidneys, and produce, by consent of parts, a favourable effect on the skin, and hair also. Violent diuretics are never advisable; nor have I seen their mildest form, unaccompanied by other remedies, produce much good, unless there have been, in addition to the other symptoms, swelled legs, either with or without discharge. When _morbid condition_ arises in such horses as, from age, previous deprivations, severe work, long confinement in bad stables, or feeding on unwholesome provender, are not to be supposed plethoric; even then, if no actual debility is present, I have often derived great benefit by commencing the treatment with a very mild dose of physic, the horse being previously fully mashed, to make a small quantity of aloes sufficient; for I have generally found that the stomach tonics to be afterwards administered have had double effect from this previous preparation of the alimentary canal. But where the debility has been extreme, or where there has been already sufficient laxity of bowels, or perhaps even superpurgation from drastic physic, begin at once with either of the following tonics, or of any of those detailed under that head in the Materia Medica:— Socotrine aloes, in powder 1 dr. Winter’s bark, ditto 2 drs. Ærugo (verdigris) 1 dr. Treacle or honey to form a ball. Or, Oxide of arsenic (arsenic) 8 grs. Pimento (allspice) in powder 1 dr. Extract of gentian ½ oz. Make into a ball with liquorice powder. Or, Sulphate of copper 1½ gr. Sulphate of iron ditto Powdered ginger 1 dr. Horse turpentine to form a ball.
