I^HAP. VII. Qf a fimple continued Fever. 19 



And here it is to be obferv'd, with refpecfl Hon^ Caufis and 

 Caufes and Effedls, that the fame Caufe EffeSisare to be 

 /ill fometimes produce different EfFeds ; dtftinguijhed. 

 nd the fame Effed will often proceed from different Cau- 

 ;s, as in thelnftance laft mentioned : For Cold, when its 

 ^ffe6tsare Tudden and univerfal, will caufe a fudden Rare- 

 i(5tion in the Blood, by obftrudting molt of the Paflages of 

 erfpiration ; but when it is partial or gradual, it will have 

 different Effect. But the different Effeds v.'hich we obferve 

 cm the fame Caufe, or the fame Effed proceeding from 

 :emingly oppofite Caufes, may only arife from the different 

 egrees of Efficacy in the Caufes themfelves, whereof we can- 

 ot be exad and competent Judges, efpecially as they are ex- 

 'ted on the animal Body, which is infinitety various in it5 

 lomipolition and Structure; and moreover as thefe Caufes 

 e alfo complicated ; and therefore w^hen we fpeak of dif- 

 rent Effects proceeding from the fame Caufe, and vice 

 '■'Ui^ of the fame Effect proceeding from different and op- 

 j]]!e Caufes, wc are to be underftood, not in an abltiaded 

 lilofophical Senfe, but as this is molt obvious to our com- 

 1011 Apprehenfions of Things ; which Difference we fhall 

 ideavour to account for in the molt rational Way we are 

 )le, and that as often as we fhall lind Occafion. 



But, Lajlly^ If the Affections of Horfes can be enough 

 r;manent and lafting, fo as to bring on Difeafes, accord- 

 ,:^ to fome Writers, fuch a Fever, as this we are treating 

 < , may take its Beginning from Rage and Fury, fince no- 

 •i.ng contributes more to the Rarefa6tion of the Blood, 

 .'.d rhe Increafe of its Motion. And therefore thofe Horfes 

 ■ho have felt the Pleafures of Love, and have been after- 

 aids reftrained from Copulation, but yet have had Mares 

 i^quently expofed to them, mult be molt in Danger from 

 xh Caufes. 



.But we fhall now proceed to the Sin^n?, cri c- , ^ 

 •i^ichin a Imiple and continued Fever are HmpUFe'ver, 

 ^ 3 lent Heat and Fulnefs of the Vellels,which 

 'ill even appear to the Eye ; a Beating of the Heart and 

 . anks v.'irhout Intermiffion ; a Drynefs on the Root of the 

 ■^outband Palate, withaRoughnefs on the Tongue; con- 

 Viual Watch fulnefs and Reftlefnefs, infomuch that if a 

 liorfe be feized in the Field, he will be perpetually moving 

 f^m Place to Place, going often to the Water, but not being 

 ?le to drink ; he wijl fmell at the Ground in many Places 

 rthout Feeding, but difcovering a gieat Delicacy from the 



Want
