Horse-Spice how to make.
These several Powders mixed together make it, viz. Rubarb one Ounce, Turmerick two Ounces, Eleoampane six Ounces, Brimstone four Ounces, Fennel-seeds four Ounces, Grains of Paradise four Ounces, &c. Put all these together in a Glass or Gally-pot, and keep them till you have occasion to use them. The quantity that you are to give your Horse, is either greater or smaller, according to the strength and Consti∣tution of your Horse; you are not to exceed above an Ounce at a time, mixed with a spoonful of the best Sallet-Oyl, and a spoonful or two of the Treacle of Jean, dissolved in a quart of strong Beer, which is very good for a Cold, and to make a Horse thrive. Or you may give him an Ounce of them in three pints of warm Beer or Ale, after Blood-letting, to pre∣vent Diseases. If you leave out the Rubarb, you may give him a greater quantity, for that is a great Purger.
