" /;/ thefe Ten Words the nuhole Art is comprifed ;

I fay, that Evacuation by Vomiting, Spitting, 

 and Bliftering, are not, nor can properly be praclifed 

 upon Horfes on every Emergency ; neither ought 

 any of the ftrongly operative Medicines which pro- 

 mote Urine, be given to a Horfe in order to diffolve 

 Swellings about the Throat, Ears, ^<. For as there 

 is always more or lefs of a Symptomatick Fever at- 

 tending thefe Tumours, ( fuch Medicines being mollly 

 of the Turpentine Kind) the Fever is heightened

 Water and foft Food, and let the Tumours or Swel-

Take Flanders Oil of Bays, half a Found ; Frejh 

 Butter clarified, four Ounces', Crude Mercury or The firft 

 ^ickfilver, one Ounce ; Oil of Turpentine, one Ointment 

 Ounce: Mix or incorporate the ^zV/^/x;^;-, wi^hgtranles 

 the Oil of Turpentine very well in a Gally-Pot, and vii-es &s, 

 .then put it to the Oil of Bays, &'c. which 

 Ihould be ftirred and wrought together a Quar- 

 ter of an Hour or longer, that the Mercury may 

 be divided into as fmall Globules or Particles 

 as poffible, and (when the Hair is Ihaved off this 

 Swelling,) Embrocate or Anoint the Part with the 

 Ointment for a good while j and by that Means the 

 fmall Globules of ^ickfilver will penetrate the 

 Pores of the Skin, . and by their Weight add to the 

 Blood's Momentum or Stroke againft the Extremity
