Nofe by Fumigation, with Brimitone and the like Com- 

 buftibies, is not to be too often attempted ; becaufe any 

 ilich violent Agitation will be apt to have the like EfFeft. I 

 Ihould therefore, in moft Cafes of this Nature, recommend 

 moderate Exercife while the Horfe has Strength, or the 

 Ufe of Chewing Balls of JjJa Fcetida, and other feculent 

 Itinking Ingredients ; for thefe will, for the moft part, 

 purge the Nofe as much as is necellary ; nor can fuch a 

 Method eafily be attended with any ill Confequence.

-which comes by ^^^^^^ ^ ^^ "P^^ this Cure, that I fhould 

 InfeBion. make fome Diftinction between that kind 



of Glanders which comes by Infeftion, 

 and that which proceeds only from the common and ufual 

 Caufes \ but as this cannot diiFer from that otherwife 

 than in fuch Circumftances as may happen in different 

 Conftitutions, the Method of Cure, as to Generals, muft 

 therefore be the fame. But when the Glanders becomes 

 like a Plague among Horfes, as it fometimes happens, it 

 is then only to be coniider'd as a Symptom and a critical 

 Difcharge, which contributes to the Solution of fome reign- 

 ing Diftemper. And in this Cafe, all thofe Things that 

 we hav^e recommended for the Cure of malignant or pefti- 

 lential Fevers are proper, and ought to be made ufe of in- 

 ternally. 



We fhall conclude with the general Precaution given by 

 all Farriers, and that is, to feparate the found from the un- 

 found, though I believe this formidable Name of Infec- 

 tioufnefs has been chiefly owing to the laft mentioned kind 

 of Glanders, which is epidemical ; for I have knovvn glan- 

 der'd .Horfes Hand fome Months with thofe that have been 

 ibund, without any ill Effed ; yet I muft needs liiy, it 

 would be Pity to run any fuch Hazard with a good Horfe, 

 when it may be xo eafily avoided,
