![RECIPE. Peruvian bark, one ounce; gentian root, naif an ounce, in powder; salt of tartar, half an ounce; spirits of vitriol, half a dram: to be given in one cjuart of warm ale. This drink will strengthen the entrails, and promote an appetite; and is likewise excellent in all disorders attended with a slight fever, or when the stomach and intestines are weakened and relaxed by some long continued disease. It may be given every morning, or every other morning, fasting, for three or four times, or longer, if necessary. Of external Inflammation. All wounds and bruises are attended with a degree of inflammation, according to the severity thereof. Such as may be brought to a good digestion, need no internal application ; but if the wound will not digest, or is violently inflamed, it may probably gangrene, and turn to a mortifleation, unless timely prevented ; in which case, give the ho?'se an ounce of J? crucian bark, and half an ounce of nitre, in a pint of sage tea, three or four times a day.
