450&#93; 45oJ TAM sal-pninella ; 2 drams of camphor ; 6 drams of pulverized aniseed j and if dram of oil of juniper, be mixed •with a sufficient qaantity of syrup of marsh - mallows : these ingre- dients ought to be divided into two balls, one of which should be given six hours after the other j and, if this first course does not produce the desired efteft, the same dose must be repeated every 4 hours, till an evacuation be procured. These balls are staled to be safe, mild, and efficacious ; but, if a liq>id form be prefeiTed, Mr.TAP- LiN recommends tlie following drink to be given, at similar inter- vals. — Let 2 oz. of bruised junijjer- berries be boildd in if pint of water, till one half be evaporated ; vhen the berries should be pressed ; and, after straining the liquor, one ounce of both, nitre, and gum-ara- bic, reduced to powder, are to be incorporated with the draught. Another cause of strangury is an ulceration of the parts ; which may be discovered b^^ the animal's un- easiness > and by an irregular dis- charge of the urine, that assumes a turbid appearance, being sometimes tinged with blood, and occasionally impregnated with membranous matter. In this case, Mr, Tapltn dire6t's the following ball, or drink, as the only probable means of pro- curing rcHcf. — L^t 1 oz. of myrrh J TAM 3 oz, of Castile soap, and a similar portion of Locatelli's balsam: pulverized aniseed and nitre, of each 2 oz. ; and 6 drams of the balsam of Peru, be mixed with the syrup of marsh-mallows, and di- vided into 6 balls ; one of which must be swallowed everj' morning. — Or, I of a pint of gruel may be mixed with 3 drams of laudanum, and 1 oz. of pulverized gum-arabic, to which 1 oz. of nitre, reduced to powder, should be added. A spasm of the parts also pro- duces strangury : where this affec- tion is su>pe(5ted, the following balls should he given, and repeated as often as occasion may require. Mix an oz. of Castile soap, 2 drams of nitre, similar quantities of resin, and of the compound powder of tragacanth. with lO grains of opium, and 30 drops of juniper-oil. Lastly, strangury is sometime occasioned by a paral}tic affcAicn of the kidnics, in consequence of which, these organs cannot secrete the urine, and a total suppression ensues. The disease being inter- nal, it can seKlom be discoNcred at so early a period as to admit of ef- ficacious remedies: the animal die's in a few days ; its body being un- commonly swelled, and covered with blotches. T. TAMARLSK, the French, or Tnmarix Gallica, L. is an indige- nous bushy sbrtib, which grows chiefly on the southern coasts of Britain ; where its beautiful white flowers appear in July.-^This ma- rine vegetable is peettliarly valuable for the mineral alkali it aftords, when reduced to ashes, and * hich may serve as an excellent substi- tute for Spanish Barilla. — Bech- STEiN remarks, that in the south- ern parts of Europe the French Tamarisk attains the height of a • • middk-
