2 oz. of the tincture and 1/2 lb. of lard; mix well, and you have
the iodine ointment.


363. SPRAIN IN THE STIFLE

Symptoms--The horse holds up his foot, moans when moved, swells in
the stifle. This is what is called stifling; there is no such thing
as this joint getting out of place.

Treatment--Bleed two gallons, foment the stifle with hot water, rub
it dry, then bathe it well with the general liniment every morning
and night, give him mash, and he will soon be well. Never allow any
stifle-shoe or cord on the foot or leg.


364. GENERAL LINIMENT

Take of turpentine, 1/2 pint; linseed oil, 1/2 pint; aqua-ammonia,
4 oz.; tincture of iodine, 1 oz.; shake all well together. This is
used for different things spoken of in the different receipts, sores
or swellings, sprains, &c.


365. LIQUID BLISTER

Take of alcohol, 1 pint; turpentine, 1/2 pint; aqua-ammonia, 4 oz.;
oil of origanum, 1 oz.; mix, apply this as spoken of, every three
hours until it blisters.
