be a very fmall Quantity of animal Spirits feparated from 

 it; but when the more fluid Parts take Place in thofe 

 VelTels, perhaps an over- great Qi^iantity may be fecerned, 

 and then the Difeafe will refemble that of a limple and 

 continued Fever, excepting only that thefe Symptoms are 

 not, as in a fimple Fever, of a. long Continuance, but 

 foon change into others. And therefore fmce the fame Dif- 

 eafe will often put on different Appearances, the Farrier can 

 tiever be too careful in examining into every Circumllance, 

 that he may not raflily adminifter his Cures upon every J 

 flight Obfcrvation, as is too common, but wait till the | 

 Diftemper gives Indicadons of what is truly neceflary toi 

 be done. 



Having thus laid down the Caufes and Signs of a fimplej 

 and continued Fever, together with the Way and Manner 

 by which it may be diilinguifti'd from other Fevers, it re- 



tTL n r mains that we 2:0 on to the Method of Cure, 

 Jhe Lure of a . . ^ . . .. ,- ,* 



fimple Fenjer. wherein we are principally to oblerve, that 

 iince there can be no Accidents in this Sort of 1 

 Fever but what depend upon the Augmentation of the 

 Elood's circular Motion, and white in this State, the Blood 

 is not fuppos'd to be any wife, or, at leail, but little viti- 

 ated ; thofe Things are only to be done, or adminiller'd, 

 that will lellen the faid Motion, and bring the Blood to a 

 more quiet and fedate State ; and, in order thereunto, 

 Eleeding is, in the firll Place, to be preferred. After Bleed- 

 ing, Recourfe mufl be had to Clyfters, and to all fuc 

 Things as will juft \eep the Body cool and open, for b 

 this Method alone a fimple Fever is to be cured. 



Tir/}^ As to the Bleeding, if it be in Summer, while 

 the Horfe is at Grafs, he ought to be houb'd ; and if thei 

 Symptoms are not very urgent, the Cool of the Morning is 

 the befl and properell Time for the Operation, becaufe 

 the external Heat contributes very much to the Increafe of 

 this Difteraper, or may be the principal Caufe of it after 

 Bleeding, as we have already obferv'd, becaufe of the 

 Blood's being pu.t into a quicker Motion during the Ope-i 

 ration : But this ought not to deter the Pradltioner, for if 

 a Horfe be kept cool after it, any Symptoms that can 

 arife from it v/ill foon ceafe, and will be quickly follow*d 

 by a flower Motion in the Blood; and this is manifeft,! 

 becaufe we often obferve fuch Fevers, efpecially in Horfes | 

 of a rare and delicate Make, terminate in an Hemorrhagy 

 of Blood.
