If your Horfe's Eyes be alfo hot and fwoln at the fame 

 time thefe outward Defeds are apparent on them, he 

 ought to be Bled, Purg'd, and RowellM, according as you 

 find him in Cafe to bear it ; and by thefe Means his Sight 

 may certainly be preferv'd, unlefs the Cornea be very much 



injured. • , . a 



There are many other Remedies to be met with m Au- 

 thors, which may be outwardly ufed with Succefs, as thofe 

 €ompofed of the Vitriols^ crude Sal Arwoniack^ Camphor^ 

 and the like, and are enough in the Acquaintance of molt 

 Farriers ; but fuch as are made of Shells, Powder of Glafs, 

 and the Powder of Flint, or of Turkijl) Whetftone, can 

 only be fuccefsful, as their (harp Points may tear the Sub- 

 ftance of thofe Bodies that grow over the Sight, while they 

 roll about m the Eye ; yet as thefe cannot be dillblv'd, 

 but often Hick in the Corners, and in the foft Flefli in the 

 Bottom of the Eye, and thereby caufe violent Inflamma- 

 tion, they are therefore not to be meddled with, unlefs 

 when the Cafe is defperate ; for it may be often obferved, 

 that the Ufe of fuch harfh Things, while the Defed is only 

 in one Eye, brings it into both, by Reafon of the conftant 

 Sympathy there is between them. 



But we fhall now proceed to thofe Defers which are 

 more internal ; and though we do not propofe a Cure for 

 fuch as are obftinate, or out of the Reach of common 

 Applications, yet we (hall lay down the moft certain Signs 

 v/her'eby they may be diftinguifhed, and at the fame time 

 adminifter thofe Helps that are the moft rational in thofe 



Cafes. 



Firji then. If one or more of the Humours 

 The Signs of in- ^^ ^^^ g^^ ^^^^^ ^e coagulated and thick- 

 ternal Bima- ^^,^^ ^^ abovemention'd, this muft be appa- 

 ^^^''' rent to any one, becaufe the Bottom of the' 



Eye, which is plainly vlfible in a Horfe, or any other larg( 

 Animal, muft then be hid, and nothing can be feen but th( 

 Colour of the condensed Humour thro' the CQrnca : Bu 

 this Kind of Blindnefs rarely happens, unlefs it proceed fron 

 a Wound or Bruife, and then it becomes incurable. 



The next inward Imperfedion, fo far as it affeds thi 

 watery Humour of the Eye, is fomewhat a- kin ta the for 

 mer, and is very frequently to be met with among Horfes 

 infomuch that fome have been foal'd with Caiara^s o 

 Pearls on their Eyes : But as this Defed alfo lies withii 

 the Cornea, it is not to be cured in Horfes s for nothin
