TREATMENT.
The colt should be drenched with half a teacupful of milk from the mare, which should contain,
- ½ teaspoonful of Ginger,
- 1 tablespoonful of the best grape wine.
A charge should be spread on the loins which should consist of
- ½ lb. of Tar,
- 1 oz. of Rosin,
- 1 oz. of Beeswax,
boiled into pitch, the whole covered with tow or wool, and the colt should be well attended to. They will sometimes recover in a few days.
One came under my observation, that recovered after five weeks, and was sold for an extra price four years afterwards.
