bottles well corked; put some of the oil of cumin on your hand and
approach the horse on the windy side that he may smell it; he will
then move towards you, then rub some of the cumin on his nose; give
him a little of the castor on sugar, salt, or anything he likes,
and get 8 or 10 drops of the oil of rhodium on the point of his
tongue; you can then get him to do anything you please. Follow up

the animal, and your control is certain. This is only fit for
nervous horses; but the railroad system is certain. In all kinds
of ugly horses it is the best of methods.

horse will get up and feel and will be well. The moment the glass
touches the botts though they may have eaten their way into the
