    When composed and free from pain, as in an hour or two after the attack, two or three quarts of blood taken from the jugular or neck vein will be serviceable in subduing any rising inflammation of the intestines; and if he feeds, which on recovery they are apt to do, a little warm water should be given him to drink, and his food be warm bran-mashes, and good meadow hay only, for the next twenty-four hours, especially if the case has been very violent. The undersigned Gentlemen have given, their testimony of the Efficacy of this Medicine for the Gripes. Brewhouse, Shoreditch, April 30, 1814. We can safely bear testimony of the efficacy of the Gripe-Tincture for Horses, prepared by Mr. Clark, not having lost a Horse with that complaint during several years that we have kept it in the stable ready for use. T. M. & R. PRYOR. King’s Arms. Brewhouse, Whitechapel, London Dear Sir,. May 5, 1814. We think it a justice due to you to state, that it is now about ten years since we first used your medicine for the Gripes in the way directed, and we have not lost a single Horse with it, although we have had several desperate cases. To Mr. B. Clark. We remain respectfully your friends, JOSEPH & SAMUEL TICKELL. Having lived with Mr. Clark nine years, I can safely aver, that since his discovery of this medicine and mode of treatment we have not lost above two cases, and then only when the disease had run its course before any medicine was administered, as may happen through neglect, or to Horses seized in the night, or very far from home, where they were not provided with the medicine; we have seen a Horse cured by it seven hours after the attack, and a very violent one.
