140 Tke FARRiER'i- New G///^^.Ch.XXXVIII. 



from what has been already prefcrib'd for the third fort of 

 Loofenefs, viz. Purging and aftringent Clyfters, with the 

 Affiftance of thofe Things that are ])roper to promote a 

 Breathing thro' the Pores j but becaufe in all violent Difor- 

 ders of the Guts, there is, for the moll part, a Weaknefs in 

 the Stomach alfo, it can never be amifs to exhibit fuch 

 Things as are proper to procure a good Digeftion, at the 

 fame time that other Means are us'd to carry off the more 

 urgent Symptoms ; and thefe ought to be continued, efpe- 

 cially to a Horfe of Value ; and indeed it is for Want of 

 fuch Helps that many Horfes dwindle away, or fall into 

 other Diftempers, after the Loofenefs has in a great Mea- 

 fure been overcome. 



Concerning the Food that is to be given in fuch Difor- 

 ders, nothing can be more proper than what SoUeyfell re- 

 commends, viz. the cleanell and beft Hay, Bran moiften'd 

 ■with Claret, and parch'd Barley. But as all thofe Difor- 

 ders have their primary Caufe from Colds, ill Ufage, but 

 efpecially from foul corrupt Feeding, and Want of Exer- 

 cife, the Owner can never be at a Lofs to keep an Eye over 

 his Horfe, and to learn his Conftitution, and what he is 

 able to bear, and by that Means thefe Accidents may, in a 

 great Meafure be prevented.

 which proceeds from a Profulion of the pancreatick and 

 bilious Juices ; for when the Difcharge from thofe Parts 

 is very much inlirg'd, it caufcs Hill a greater Influx of Blood 

 and Humours towards them, which being more than can 

 be converted into the proper Juices, forces itfelf through the 

 Inteftines of the V^effeis^ and is difcharg'd with thefe Juices 

 mto the Guts.

 and fometimes little or nothing comes away but pure 

 Blood ; but this laft Kind proceeds, for the molt part, from 

 an Appetite of the internal Hemorrhoidal Vellels.
