as poffible, into the Diet of a Horfe ; and for that Reafon 

 Mallows, Mercury, Agrimony, Melilot, Horehound, and 

 the like, or fuch others of the fame Kind as are not of a 

 naufeous Tafte and Smell, may be mixed with his Hay, at 

 leaft upon Trial, becaufe fome Horfes will eat thofe things. 

 The Powder of Diapente^ which is fufficiently in the Ac- 

 quaintance of all Farriers, may be very profitably given in 

 this Cafe ; not fimply, as it is a Reftorative, but as it con- 

 tributes to ftrengthen the Stomach, and helps Digeftion. 

 And in fine, all Peroral Sails, fuch as (hall be ordered in 

 Broken- vi^inded, Confumptive Cafes, may alfo be exhibi- 

 ted with Succefs. His Corn ought to be given him only 

 by Handfuls at a Time, but pretty often ; and if the difeafed 

 Horfe has been ufed to eat Bread, Loaves made of Barley 

 and Flour mixed together, will make up one convenient 

 Part of Diet for him. As for his Drink, two or three good 

 Handfuls of French Barley fhould be boiled in it ; for the 

 Barley thus ufed makes a very good Reftorative, and helps 

 to abate the Acrimony that is fo conftant a Concomitant 

 of thofe Difeafes. 



Thirdly, Moderate Exercife is alfo very necelTary, and 

 therefore he fliould be walked out gently every Day when 

 the Weather permits, and that may be increas'd according 

 as he recovers Strength. 



And Lajily, his Cloathing ought not to be heavy, nor 

 his Dreflings more than is ufual at other Times ; becaufe 

 in all fuch Diforders there is already too great a Propenfity 

 io fweat. 



CHAP. XI. 



Of Intermitting Fevers, 



AL L Fevers are faid to intermit, that have any fenfibk 

 Space between the Paroxyjms, or the Fits, free from 

 the Difeafej and therefore under this Title are included 

 OjiotidianSy viz. thofe which return once, or oftner, every 

 Day : Tertians, thofe that only return once every other 

 Day ; and Quartans, fuch as feize a Horfe only every 

 third Day : But thefe proceed - from one and the fam<§ 

 Ipaufe, and admit of the fame Method of Cute.
