Want of Appetite: And if a Horfe in fuch a Condition hap, 

 pens to be in the Stable, the fame Signs will alfo be appa- 

 rent ; and be will moreover be apt to ftrike at any one that 

 comes near him, tho' at other times tradable and eafy. ., 

 _ But here I muft alio take Notice, as con- 



In -what mart' ceming the Signs, that nothing is more care- 

 ll%t7}Jl fully to be looked into than they, becaule 

 the lame common Signs are often exhibited 

 in Difeafes that aie different, and require a different Me- 

 thod of Cure. But this is not fo conipicuous in other Di- 

 tempers 3S in Fevers ; for which Reafon the Farrier mull 

 always have Recourfe to the Caufes, whereby he ^ will be 

 the better able to form a right Judgment ; and that this 

 may become the m.ore eafy to him, we lliall go over thofe 

 Signs more particularly, as they arife from common Effedts, 

 but are produced of their proper Caufes, and may therefore 

 be diftinguiflied from the lame Appearances in more com- 

 plicated Fevers. 



Firji then. It may be obferved, that Heat, and beatinc 

 at the Heart and Flanks, is a Sign common to all Feverb. 

 But in a Fever that is fimple, the Heat is permanent, and 

 the Pulfationg regular ; whereas in a Fever tnat is compli- 

 cated, neither the Heat nor Puilations are regular, but arc 

 fometimes more, fometimes lefs obiervabk ; and in lome. 

 as in Intermitting Fevers, the Difeafe goes quite off, ancirt 

 only returns at certain Times. ' 



Secondly, In a Simple Fever, the Diynefs on the Rool 

 of the Mouth and Palate, and the parch'd Roughnefs of the 

 Tongue, are perceivable from the firff Appe^iranccs of the 

 Difeafe, as they proceed from an over great Expenceof the 

 thinner Parts of the Serum ; but in other Fevers thefe Signi 

 are not fo luddenly exhibited. 



Thirdly, Tho' other Fevers may be accompanied will: 

 Want of Appetite, yet this Sign feems more peculiar to fim- 

 ple Fevers, being the conftant Effed of an over great Rare- 

 fadion and Thinnefs of the Blood, whereby it takes uf 

 more Space in all the Veffels of the Stomach, even fo_ a; 

 fometimes to occafion Inflammation ; and this Diftention 

 of tl:i£ Vefielsmuft take off the Senfation of Hunger, anc 

 create a Loathing, which is alfo the Reafon why, notwitlv 

 Handing that the Heat and Parchednefs make a Horfe thirll 

 often in this kind of Fever, yet he drinks but little at a Time. 



Fourthly, The fame Plenitude of the Veilcls in the Sto- 

 mach, as alfo in the circumjacent Parts, viz. the Pleun
