3 S The Jrt of Farriery 



In the next Place, external Cold, which hinders 

 that natural Perfpiration or infenfible Sweating fo 

 beneficial to both Man and Beaft, may bring on this 

 dered, pro- Fever : For by hindering Perfpiration, the Quantity 

 duces a of Blood is increafed, and that too with fuch a Flu- 

 Fever. \^^ as is far from the Homogene or benign Nature 

 of it. 



And here it may be obferved, with refpedl to 

 Caufes and EfFedls, that the fame Caufe will pro- 

 duce very often different Eife6ls, and that the fame 

 Effeft will often proceed from different Caufes. For

 which will appear even to the Eye -, a Beating of the 

 Heart and Flanks much quicker than ordinary ; a 

 Drynefs in the Mouth, with Pvoughnefs of the 

 Tongue ; continual Watchfulnefs and Reflleffnefs ; 

 infomuch that if a Horfe be feized with this Fever 

 in the Field, ho will be perpetually moving from 

 Place to Place, going often to the Water, but (as 

 fome Authors fay) cannot drink i the' really I am 

 of Opinion all Creatures will drink if feized with a 

 Fever : And notwithftanding it was the former Prac- 

 tice to deny much Liquids in fuch Cafe ; yet the 

 Moderns, agree that Diluters are of all Things not
