The Art 0/ F A R R I E R Y 



I {hall fet down as proper an Injedion as tan be- 

 thought of in fuch Circumflances. 



Take Venice Turpentine y three Ounces ; tnix it 

 wery nvell nvith the Telks of a Dozen Eggs ; then add 

 Honey of Rofes, fix Ounces ; Mgyptiacum Ointjnenf, 

 tnvo'Ounces', White TFine, one'^art. Mix nnd 

 fyringe it up the Noflrils Milk-warm ; but unlcfs 

 (as I jufl now hinted) you caufe it to reach the very 

 Part affecled, it cannot poffibly be of Service, 

 farther than wafhing the nafty Matter out of the 

 NoHrils. 



I have confidered all the Kinds of Liquors pre- 

 pared to be injedled up the Nofe in the Glanders ; 

 but I take the above to be one of the bell contrived 

 Injeaions for the Purpofe : And as to Myrrh and 

 Aloes, as ordered by Mr. Gthfon to be mixed with 

 thefe Liquors, th ere is little to be expelled from 

 them, v/hatever Notion fome People may entertam 

 ©f theJr fpecifick Virtues in mundifv-ing or clean- 

 fmg old Sores or Ulcers : For they are far inferior 

 to the Turpentines, in Cafes where healing and de- 

 terfive or cleaning Medicaments are indicated.

 furely happens to vouiig Horfes (at one 1 ime or 

 other) as the Small-Pox does to Children ; and it 

 may well b; compared to a Quinfey in Human 

 Bodies, which is an Inflammation of the Mufcles, 

 yc. deftined for the Ofnce of Swallowing; and a' 

 Tumour beine formed, Uie Patient is often fuifo-
