Take Pellitory of the Wall, and Mallo'w-Lea'ves, 

 each three Handfuh j Tenugreek-Seed hruifedy and 

 Annifeed, each one Ounce. Boil thefe ^ell in a Gal- 

 lon of Water to three ^larts ; then add of the Elec- 

 tuary caird Caryocoftinum, /wo Ounces ; (<vjhich 

 you may buy for about four Pence per Ounce,) and 

 three Ounces of common Oil ; for 'tis not material 

 what Oil it be that is ufed in Clyfters, feeing the 

 Part into which they are injefted will make no 

 Diilindlion between Florence - Oil and common 

 Plaifter-Oil.

If you add a little common Salt, it will caufe the 

 Clyfter to operate fooner, by the pungent Particles

 Pain and Uneafmefs about his Shoulders and fore 

 Parts, they conclude him founder'd in his Body ; 

 whereas 'tis ten to one the Caufe of fuch painful 

 Movement lies in the Hoof, and is what thefe Fel- 

 lows call Hooffoundcring ; tho' the Word Hoof 

 foundering is Nonfenfe if render'd into our Language, 

 which would be Hoof-molten ; and that there is no 

 fuch Quantity of Greafe in a Horfe's Hoof where-^ 

 by it can be molten by hard Exercife, fo as to de- 

 ferve the Name of Hooffoundcring, I need not be at 

 the Pains to explain. Therefore I (hall Ihew my
