By the morning, should the horse be
better, nothing further is necessary, onl,
being careful not 10 overfeed him. BHt
should there be 10 change for the better,
tic small cord just above his knees, and

around the coronet just above the hoof
take from each leg pint Of blood give a
pound Of salts dissolved in three half pints
Of water, in form Of drench keep his
feet stuffed with fresh COW manure, and
battle his legs with equal parts Of sharp vim
egar, spirits and sweet oil or lard. BY at
tention to these directions, in two or three
days the horse will again be fit for service.
A horse in this unpleasant situation re-
quires great attention. Whenever they
are foundered, they search for bank Of
manure to stand on, which should always
be prevented, as its heat increases the f.
yer.
Horses slightly foundered have some
times been cured in few hours, by stand
ing them in pond Of water or mud, or by
bleeding in the mouth, but those remedies
are uncertain, and not to be so much relied
on, as those first recommended.
A foundered horse is generally very much
reduced in flesh, before cure Is effected |:
and is always more subject to founder af-
forwards.
Large ridges on the hoofs, or turning
up OF the feet, are strong indications Of old
founders or other injuries.-GentVem0n's
