l6o ^'he Art 0/ Farriery 



rence-Oilj which will keep it moifl a long Time 

 together. 



I need not enter upon any Encomium upon the 



Properties or Effefts of this Cordial Ball, feeing I 



have done it fufficiently in my Notes upon Btadon j 



only this I mull fay farther in Favour of it, to wit, 



that it contains all the proper Ingredients fit for a 



Cordial Drench, as the Farriers term it ; fo that 



you have only to take the Bignefs of a Hen's Egg 



of it, and diflblve it in a Pint of White-wine, or for 



want of that, a Quart of Beer, and give ittheHorfei 



as Occafion requires. 



Mr. ^ilfon's Before I clofe this Chapter, I ihall only take 



Decoaion Notice of a Prefcription of Mr. Gib/on'^, in his Book 



to prevent q^ farriery. Page 90, to wit, that " if you make 



at the Nole ** ^ Decoftion of red Rofe Lea<ves, Pomegranate 



turning to ** Bark, and Diafcordium, and fyringe it up the 



the Glan- *< Noftrils pretty often, it will hinder its turning to 



f ued "^'' " ^^^ Glanders i and that Honey of Rofes will do 



"^^ • "the fame." 



Now I am fatisfied, neither of thefe will be of 

 any real Service more than warm Water, nay, per- 

 haps they may not be fo good ; for the Intention of 

 the Prefcription is as an Aflringent, fo that it will 

 lock up and flop the proper Difcharge from the 

 Glands about the Throat, that is, if the Syringe 

 throw it up fo far : But I am of Opinion it can 

 fcarcely be injefled fo as to reach the Caufe of the 

 Billemper, therefore it favours more of Saund than 

 Senfe.

Cheft- /^ HE Word Fondre in' French fignifies to melt

 five, or' would have us believe thatr the Horfe^s Greafe is 



molten.
