 in the other cafe, where the Liver is fchirrous and hard, 

 thefe Obftrudions muft alfo be difficult, becaufe they lie 

 out of the Reach of manual Operation, and alfo of exter- 

 rri; Applications. 



a-i ^ But in the Cure, we fliall begin with its firfl 



Stage,when we only fuppofe theGall-pafliiges 

 obftrufled, as above-mentioned ; and to remove thole, Pur- 

 ging muft in the firft place be neceflary, with thofe Things 

 that are moderately opening ; for unlefs there be Pain and 

 Inflammation in the Liver, Bleeding will do but little Ser- 

 vice ; however it is much in Vogue in fuch Cafes. 

 Therefore let the following Infufion be made, viz. 

 " Take of 5'^;/5 one Ounce, Madder-roots and Turmc- 

 *' rick of each half an Ounce, the Leaves of Strawberries,

 *^ of Tartar three Drams.'* Let them be infufed in three 

 Pints of boiling Water all Night, and in the Morning let it 

 be given with the ufual Precautions. This Lifufion will 

 juft keep the Horfe's Body open, and may therefore be re-

 Purging in the Manner we have prefcrib'd, the Horfe may 

 have now and then a little fcalded Bran, and fometimes boil'd 

 Barley to eat, and his Water may haveconftantly Barley and 

 Liquorice boil'd in it ; and a Dofe of the following Powder 

 may be every Day given for a Fortnight or three Weeks 

 together, unlefs the Purging alone remove the Diftemper, 

 as it fometimes happens in the Beginning. 



"• Take of the Roots of Madder and Turmerick of each 

 " half a Pound, Earth-worms dry'd in the Sun, or in an O- 

 " ven that is m.oderately heated, and Myrrh, of each four 

 *' Ounces, Shavmgsof Hartfnorn or Ivory, and crude Tar- 

 " tar, of each two Ounces, crude Antimony lix Ounce^sthe

 thefe be made into a fine Powder, and give your Horfe every 

 Morning two Ounces in a fuificient quantity oi Veriice-trea' 

 ck to make it into a ftifl" Pafte, letting him at the fame time 

 drink a little W^hite- water or Barley-water to wafh it down.
