 I have infilled the longer on this Subjedl, as the Method 

 here laid down is not only to be obferved where there has 

 been an imperfed Difcharge of the Strangles, but alfo in all 

 other Impoftumations and inflam'd Swellings, where the 

 Endeavours of Nature feem to have been infufficient j and 

 to this we fliall conftantly refer in all fuch Cafes. 



CHAP. XXX. 

 Of the falfe or baflard Strangles. 



A Mijlah of 'T-^ H E laft mentioned Author accounts for 

 Solleyfell- J- this Diftemper after a very ftrange Man- 



ner, and in a Way that is diredtly contrary to Nature. He 

 fays, When the Strangles have not been thoroughly dif- 

 charg'd at the ufual Time, a latent Ferment will remain 

 in the Body, which, in its proper Time, will agitate the 

 Humours, and caufe them to fall into the fame Place where 

 they fhould have been call oft at firlt. And this, he fays, 

 ■will fometimes happen five or ten Years after, when a 

 Horfe is ten or fifteen Years old . But befides, that there 

 is no fuch Ferment in the Body of any Animal, there is no 

 fuch Regularity in Nature j and that may be plainly pro- 

 ved by his own Obfervation, v/here he takes Notice of the 

 Matter of the Strangles falling off fometimes upon other 

 Parts of the Body that have been previoufly weakened ; 

 and this is truly the Way of Nature. And therefore when 

 Swellings happen to old Horfes about the Jaws, and a- 

 bout the Kernels, it is an infallible Sign of a crazy Confti- 

 Tution in them, and is oftentimes the Fore-runner of the 

 Glanders, unlefs that has been occafion'd by fome Violence, 

 And we may even obferve in human Bodies, in all tendei 

 and delicate Habits, the fame Difpofitions to Swellings in 

 the glandulous and kernelly Parts, but efpecially in thofc 

 that are confumptive; and as in human Bodies the Humoun 

 have chiefly a Tendency towards the Groins, l^c. in a 

 Horfe, they move towards the Head and Jaws, forming 

 Swellings in thofe Parts, as they are dependent in a Horfe, 

 according to our repeated Obfervations. 



Therefore in fuch Cafes, inftead of being too bufy to 

 ripen and draw away fuch Kernels, unlefs they be inflam'd 

 and have a Tendency to Suppuration, the Horfe ought tc
