GLANDERS. 307 



Before I clofe my obfervations upon this 

 difeafe, let it be well underftood that, during 

 £he 'vvhole courfe of management, the head of 

 the horfe is to be kept as warm as poiiible, and 

 in proportion much more fo than the body, 

 either in a double kerfey hood, or a (ingle ex- 

 ternal, and :^ iiannel (or feat cotton) one un- 

 derneath; for, it may readily be conceived 

 (without much information) nothing can con- 

 tribute more to a folution of the humours and 

 promotion of their difcharge, than a critical 

 relaxation of the pores, particularly upon the 

 very feat of difeafe : from this confideration 

 arifes conviction that afiifling circumftances 

 co-operate with and are as neceffary as the ex*- 

 ternal or internal adminiftration of medicine; 

 experience having afforded ample proof that 

 a combination may effed what is not in the 

 power of individuals to perform. 



The ftrong mercurial ointment direded for 

 the repulfion of Glandular tumours under this 

 head, as alfo in the Farcy, (p. 143) may be 

 procured at any medical difpen/ary by that 

 name, or thus prepared :
