therefore they immediately apply themfelves to Tome 

 good old Woman who is Skilled in ilroaking them up 

 ■again ; and this Operation together with a littk Pep- 

 per and Milk, or Pepper and Bread and Butter, per- 

 forms a Cure, according to their V/ay of Thinkings 

 though they do not confider that Fridion or rub- 

 bing any Swelling upon a Glandulous Part (which 

 is moftly of a cold Nature, the Juices there being 

 fo far cut pf the common Road of Circulation) helpt 

 to diffipate or difperfe the Tumour ; add to this, 

 their being direfted to keep the Throat and Ears 

 well covered, which indeed conduces chiefly to- 

 wards, a Cure. 

 , ' As all Swellings upon Glandulous Parts of the 

 Body are a long Time in Suppurating, ( or coming 

 to a Head j) therefore a great deal of Patience is re- 

 quired, leaft by a too hajiy Incifton or Cutting them

 hy Nature', and by this Means, you bring about t;ro 

 or three diilinft Tumours, one after another, wh^ri 

 one would have done the Bufmefs, provided you had 

 b-een endowM with the Gift of Patience, as before 

 obferved.

 I fay then, if the Swellings are recent, or of fhort 

 jlanding, the Difeafe m.ay perhaps be cured by the 

 iirft Intention, which is doing it the neareft Wav, 

 and not fuifering the Hum.ours to come to Suppu- 

 ration ; and for this End Bleeding, Purging, with 

 the Ufeof Em.ollient Clyfters now and then, are of 

 Service : In General all Evacuations are necefiary, 

 but there are not near fo many Ways to perform 

 this in Horfes as there are in Men ; for as Dr. Bay- 

 nard (fpeaking of Evacuation) in his Decade Y^ry 

 hunjouroufly expreffes it.
