148 The Varkier's New Guide. Ch.XLL' 



After the purging Clyfter has finifhed its Operation, 

 Sweat ought, as foon as poflible, to be promoted, and that 

 very plentifully ; wherefore, 



" Take of old Femce-Tre^cle^ or of Mithridate, three 

 *' Ounces, Matthew's Pill two Drams, Camphire fix 

 *' Grains: Mix them well together, and then diflblve them 

 *' in a Quart ot warm Beer, and give it through a Horn, 

 *' cloathing him very warm. 



And to comfort his Bowels, the Clyfter prefcribed in a 

 preceeding Chapter to eafe violent Pains in the Guts, may 

 be given ; or the following, which is of like Efficacy, and 

 will alfo help to promote the Sweat. 



" Take Red-rofe Leaves two handfuls, dry'd Mint and 

 *' Sage, of each one handful, Galangal bruis'd one Ounce, 

 *' Bay-berries fix Drams. Boil them half an Hour in three 

 *' Pints of Water, and to the ftrained Decodion add Spirit 

 *^ of Wine or Brandy one Pint, and alfo diflTolve in it four 

 *' Ounces of Diafcordium." Let this be given milk- warm, 

 keeping his Tail clofe to his Fundament, until he has no 

 Motion of throwing it out. 



But a Horfe is fometimes fo reftlefs with the Violence of 

 thofe Pains, that there is no keeping him on his Legs, but he 

 throws himfelf down every Minute ; and fome Horfes kill 

 themfelves, by ftr iking their Heads againft the Walls, who 

 otherwife might eafily be recovered, if they could be mana- 

 ged. Thefe ought to be buried in a Dunghill, all but the 

 Head, there being no Cafe that requires that kind of Sweat- 

 ing more than this ; for it is very much to be fufpeded, that 

 the giving of cold Water to a Horle when he is hot, and 

 "wafhing him about his Breaft and Belly, may often caufe 

 an immediate Foundering in the Cheft, and this feems reafo- 

 nable enough from the extraordinary working and heaving 

 of the Flanks, which is obfervable all on a fudden in feme 

 Horfes after fuch Accidents. But the Reader may have Re- 

 courfe to what has been already faid under that Head.
