In the firft Place, if a Horfe's Eyes be out of or- Look well 

 der, they fhould be well looked into befare you ['J^^*J^^,^ 

 prefcribe : For, if he be quiet, one may eafily turn ^^,^ ^^^^^^q 

 up the Eye-Lids, and view if any foreign Body, yon pre- 

 fuch as Duft, or Moats of any kind, ftick upon their icribc 

 Infide, or upon the Horny Coat, which, as I have 

 faid, is the tranfparent and fore-part of the Eye ; if 

 there is, it muft be carefully wiped off with a Spunge 

 and Water. The Spunge may be ried to the End of 

 a fmall Stick, or the like; after this the Eye will 

 mend of itfelf ; for, ^u^hen the Caufe is taken a^ay 

 the Effea ceafes ; only let the Eye be now and then

 Ulcers of the Cornea, or Tunica adnata, whether 

 occafioned from Diftillations of Rheum, or extrane- 

 ous Bodies which may have fretted and wounded the 

 fame. 



If this Proportion of the Roch-alum and Vitriol 

 be too fliarp, it may eafily be lowered by adding a; 

 little more Water to it; and, as I have before hinted, 

 Pump-Water is as good as Plaintain or Rofe- Water. 



If the Horfe's Eye be fv/elled and inflamed, he Bleeding 

 fhould be bled in the Neck, or where clfe you is good for 

 pleafe; for, notv,^ithftanding what Mr. Gihfon has 2" Intlam- 

 faid about making an Orifice too near the affefled J^.^'^p" ^" 

 Part, there is not fo much in the Matter as he '
