nation, which I mull own is In many Cafes fur- 

 prifmg, where the Subje<5l is a Human Creature. 

 But in Brutes, I cannot fee that the Imagination 

 can operate, efpecially in this particular. But that 

 this Faculty or Funftion is predominant in Brutes, 

 as well as Human Creatures, is moft certain, the* 

 not in fo eminent a Degree, therefore no great Cures 

 can be effeded by it. 



*As to other Dillempers of the Brain, fuch as 

 Lethargy or Sleeping Evil, Falling Evil or Convul- 

 fions, Frenzy, and Madnefs in Horfes, they are 

 moftly treated as Apopleftick Diforders, to wit, by 

 Bleeding and Evacuating Medicines, fuch as Purges, 

 ^c. And I believe Rowels may in thefe Cafes ^-pwelHng, 

 prove of Service, provided there be made a fufRcient curiil^^ DiJl 

 Number of them, and thofe continued according to tempers of 

 the Horfe's Age, Strength, &c. But, as to the the Brain. 

 Parts of the Body, where fuch running Sores fliould 

 be made, whether behind the Ears, in the Breaft, 

 or under the Horfe's Belly, I think it is much the 

 fame thing ; for, the Cure conftfts in a regular and 

 flow Emptying of the Veflels, or, in other Words, 

 in draining off the Caufe of the Diftemper by other 

 Out-lets, moi-e than thofe provided by Nature. 

 For in reality, making Rowels, Iffues, (^c. are no The rea- 

 more than adding a Number of Anus's or Funda- fon why 

 ments ; fo that fhe may meet with them in feveral Row^-'lling 

 Parts of the Body, and not be put to the trouble of '^ uletul. 

 going the more tedious and common Round of Cir- 

 culation, in order for a difcharge by Excrement or 

 Dung.
