and then inje6l the blue Water prefcrib'd in the 24//; Chap- 

 ter, to take off Films and Webs from the Eye, for nothing 

 will conduce more to the cleanfing and heahng the ulcera- 

 ted Parts. The Water made of the Lapis Mirabilis^ in 

 the 23^ Chapter, will alfo conduce very much to the fame 

 Intention ; or the following, which is alfo exceeding pro- 

 per where there is a great Foulnefs. 



" Take a Pint of White- wine, one Quart of Plantain- 

 " water, two Handfuls of Red-rofe Leaves, half a Dram 

 *' of Orpiment, one Dram of Verdegreafe, Myrrh, and 

 " Aloes, of each a Dram and a half." 



The Rcfe Leaves are to be infus'd in the White- wine 

 for the Space of forty eight Hours, and then the Wine to 

 be pour'd off and mix'd with the Plaintain- water, and the 

 Orpiment, Verdegreafe, Myrrh, and Aloes, are to be 

 beat to a line Powder before they are mixt with the In- 

 fufion. 



A fmall Quantity of the Ungue?itum Egyptiacum, dif- 

 folv'd before the Fire in a little Oil or Turpentine, may be 

 alfo injeded thro' a pretty large Pipe, which will alfo be 

 very ailiftful in cleanling the ulcerated Parts.

 jedl to hedick Diforders, the Method laid down for fuch 

 Cafes is alfo to be follow'd ; and if the Matter proceeding 

 from the Nofe denotes the Bones to be alio ulcerated, by 

 its Colour and rank Smell, you may then very juilly begin 

 to give over Hopes of his doing well, tho' I know there^ 

 are feveral Farriers who have Alilirance enoug;h to boaft ot 

 curing Horfes in this Condition : However, his Nofe ought 

 to be fyring'd with Brandy, or Spirit of Wine, and with 

 thofe I'hings above-recommended, that he may become as 

 little noifome and offeniive as poflible.
