Chap. XXXIX. Of Worms, Sec. 14.$ 



Either of thcfe being three or four times repeated, will 

 deftroy all manner of Worms, and carry off that llimy and 

 corrupted Matter in which they are ingender*d, and with- 

 out the leaft Danger. 



The Merairius dulcisy may be had at any ChymilVs or 

 Apothecary's ; as for the Mthiops^ it is made of equal 

 Parts of Quickfilver and Brimftone, rubbing them in a Mor* 

 tar till they are incorporated and turn to a black Powder. 



After your Horfe has been fufficiently purged with one 

 or other of the above-mentioned Remedies, the following 

 Powder out of Solley felly may be given for a Week or a 

 Fortnight, and it will be of great Service to deilroy all the 

 Remains of the Diftemper. 



" Take the Roots of Mailer-wort, the Leaves and 



*' Roots of Radiflies, greater Centaury, and Tanfy ; dry 



*' them in the Sun in the Summer, and in an Oven, with a 



** moderate degree of Heat, in the Winter ; then take a 



*' Pound of each Germander, Ground-pipe, Roots of An- 



*' gelica, and Elecampane, all dried in the Shade, of 



*^ each half a Pound, Coraline, or Sea Mofs, and Liver 



*' Aloes, of each four Ounces, Galangal, Nutmeg, and 



*« SalPrunelU\ of each two Ounces. Reduce all the 



** Ingredients to Powder feparately, then mix them, and 



" keep them in a Leathern Bag, or in a glafs Bottle clofe 



** ftopt. The Dofe is an Ounce for fmall Horfes, two 



** Ounces and a half for large Horfes : Mix it with half 



I ** an Ounce, or three Drams of old Treacle, or an Ounce 



i ** of Treacle DiateJJaron^ or Mithridate ; then give it the 



(** Horfe in a Pint of White- wine, and afterwards walk 



i" him in his Cloaths. 



I But this Powder will be much better, if the firft Ingre- 

 dients be wholly left out, and inftead of them be fubftiiu- 

 ;ted four Ounces of the Flour of Brimftone, and two Oun- 

 ces of the Powder of Myrrh j neither is there occalion to 

 ;be much fcrupulous about the Dofe, for the fmallell Horfe 

 imay take two Ounces of this Powder, and it will be little 

 bnough. 



; I There are many other Remedies appropriated to deftroy 

 Worms, which are all very good when rightly apply'd, as 

 ; iRue, St. John's Wort, Tops of Broom, Male Fern, Savin, 

 Citron-feeds, Wormwood, and Worm-feed, Garlick, Oni- 

 )ns, and fuch like I'hings ; but none can come up to Mer- 

 uriii) duias, or the Mthiops mlneraly for immediate Effi- 

 cacy.
