Of the Anticor, 



^he Anticor, "jV/TOST Authors have been millaken as to 

 an Infiamma- ^^ the Nature of this Difeafe •, the greateft 

 tion of the Number attribute it to the Heart ; and Volley- 

 Gullet. j^ii ^^jjg if5 ^ Swelling of the Pcricardimn^ or 



Purfe of the Heart. But they are all plainly in an Error; 

 for an Anticor is an Iniiammation in the Gullet and Throat, 

 and is the very fame which in Man is called Angina. 

 cj-, ^ r It proceeds from the fame Caufes that bring - 



^^^* on infinite Difeafes on Horfes, to wit, hard 



Riding, expofing a Horfe to the Cold, and giving him cold 

 Water to drink when he is hot, full Feeding, and whatever 

 elfe may caufe a fudden Stagnation of the Blood. 

 T Si<Tns ^^^^ ^'^f s are, firft, all thofe that accom- 



^^ ' pany a Fever ; for an Anticor^ while it is in- 



ternal, never wants a Fever to attend it ; but when it fhews 

 itfelf externally, the Fever begins to abate, unlefs it conti- 

 nue to be both external and internal. 



So long as the Inflammation continues in the Gullet, the 

 Horfc , jrfakes his Food 3 and tho' he has frequent Inclina- 

 tions to drink, and albeit his Water be made moderately 

 warm, the firll Gulp deters him from meddling with it again, 

 until he has forgot the Pain and Agony it put him into. And 

 the Pain of the Gullet is yet more manifell from this (and 

 I believe every Farrier mufi: have made the fame Obferva- 

 tion) that -whenever a Drench is given him he ftaggers, and 

 feetns as if he would fall down, and make feveral fliort 

 interrupted Groans, or rather Gruntings, and fometimes 

 Vv'ill break out into a cold damp Sweat about his Ears. 



The Cure ^^^^ ^^^^ ™^^ ^^ begun by Bleeding, and 



that needs not be very fpanng ; for this Dif- 

 eafe feldom happens to Horfes that are poor and low. And 

 here we alfo approve of ftriking one or other of the Veins 

 on the hind Parts, to make a Revulhon. 



After Bleeding, the following Clyfter may be given. 



" Take two handfuls of Barley, two Ounces o{ Sal poly- 

 ** chreft reduc'd to line Powder, boil them in two Quarts of 

 *^ Water for the fpace; of a quarter of an Hour, add to the 

 *' 33ecodion a Pint of Urine, a quarter of a Pound of frefh 

 "*' Butter, and two Ounces of Oil of Rue. Let this be gi- 

 *'- yen Blood- warm, and repeated twice a Day, or oftner.
