- • It cannot be inapplicable, after thefe pre- 

 fcriptions, to make a remark upon one obfer- 

 vation of Bartlet, who feemed tothink.it 

 unavoidably neceffary to omit a defigned part 

 of his prefcription at fome times on account 

 of the expence > but I muft confefs, in all my 

 experience, I have obferved, and happy I 

 am to acknowledge it to the honour of the 

 fporting world at large, I never remember to 

 have feen an inftance oi penury ^ or even heli- 

 tation in the article of expence, where a horse 

 has been in pain or danger. 



Having gone through the procefs univerfally 

 cflablifhed for getting horfes into proper con- 

 dition, it becomes necefFary to proceed to the 

 long lift of accidents and difeafes to which 

 they are fubjecl : and to introduce fuch medi- 

 cal fyftem as (after a gradual fuccefiion from 

 generation to generation, and from grandiire to 

 grandfon, in the old ftyle) has at length acquired 

 a degree of reformation and approbation, by 

 the experimental rejedtionof the ancient bota- 

 nical practice, believed- infallible -, and the in- 

 numerable difcoveries m.ade in the world of me- 

 dicine, by fome of the moft learned, judicious 

 and enlightened charadiers in every part of ths 



I globe.'
