Breaking of the Kernels or break them, which v/ill be of very 

 Kernels under great Service, as the Swelling in thole Parts is 

 tkeja-^sfome- occafion'd by a Sort of Sympathy, and pro-

 Glanders, and as they muft therefore conftantly help to feed 

 the Diftemper. But if they cannot be remov'd by emollient 

 or fuppurative Medicines, I fhould think it might conduce 

 very much to the Horfe's Safety to open them with a Caujlick^ 

 it being much eafier to heal an Ulcer in thofe Parts than in 

 the Nofe ; neither can it be attended with fuch bad Confe- 

 quences as when thofe Kernels are extirpated, as is fome- 

 times pradifed ; becaufe in the Operation fomePart of them 

 is generally left behind, from whence Nature fupplies that 

 Want by new, but imperfect ones, which are more liable to 

 Swelling and Inflammation than the firil j fo that inllead

 towards the hind Parts than before fach an Ifllie was made, 

 and a Check will be thereby put to the Diftemper.
