PHYSIC, &c. 47 



It cannot be inapplicable, after thefe pre- 

 fcriptions, to make a remark upon one obfer- 

 vation of Bartlet, who feemed to think it 

 unavoidably neceffary to omit a defigned part 

 of his prefcription at fome times, on account 

 of the expenfe 5 but I muft confefs, in all my 

 experience, I have obferved, and happy I 

 am to acknowled.o-e it to the honour of the 

 fporting world at large, I never remember to 

 have feen an inftance oi penury, or even heiita- 

 tion in the article of expenfe, where a horse 

 has been in pain or danger. 



Having gone through the procefs univerfally 

 eflablifhed for getting horfes into proper con- 

 dition, It becomes neceffary to proceed to the 

 long lift of accidents and difeafes to which 

 they are fubjedl : and to introduce fuch medi- 

 cal fyftem as (after a gradual fucceffion from 

 generation to generation, and from grandfire to 

 grandfon, in the old ftyle) has at length acquir- 

 ed a degree of reformation and approbation, by 

 the experimental rejedion of the ancient bota- 

 nical pradlice, believed infallible-^ and the in- 

 numerable difcoveries made in the world of me- 

 dicine, by fome of the moft learned, judicious, 

 ,and enlightened characters in every part of the 



globe.
