The Art of Fa r r i e r y 



fhe finds her felf opprefTed, fhe endeavours t« 

 diHodge the "Enemy, and to that end, tries all the 

 nearell and propereft Means : And it is fuprif- 

 ingly wonderful, what a Number of Outlets and 

 Drains Nature has furnifhed for the Prefervation of 

 Health, or the Recovery of it when loft ; for 

 fuch, are moil or all the Glands by which Secretion 

 is performed. Furthermore, though Nature is di- 

 ligently and carefully to be obferved and afiifted in 

 her due Operations ; yet fhe is not to be com- 

 pelled, but m.uft her felf be the Beginner, nay and

 this depends upon a regular and uniform Motion of 

 the Elood; and whatever contributes to that regular 

 and uniform Motion, muft be the Means to preferve \ 

 Health. But, on the other hand, it mull be al- 

 lowed, that the fame Means which are ufed in tim^s ■ 

 of Sicknefs, to reflore the Blood to its regular Mo- ' 

 tion, muft be prejudicial in a State of Health, by .
