Before I clofe this Chapter, let me advife,. that 

 all Ointments of this Nature be ufed vtry warm, 

 and then they will affift the natural Heat of the Part, 

 which is generally wanting on thefe Occafions, by 

 reafon the Blood and Spirits are drainM off by the 

 Wound, which robs the Parts adjacent of the due 

 natural Heat mention'd ; and all the Tribe of Tur- 

 pentines have this particular Quality in them, to 

 wit, if you apply them hot, they are ilrongly di- 

 geltlve and deterlive ; if coldly applied, they are al- 

 moft of as little Efficacy as a greafy Ointment, 

 which indeed is bad enough. 



I mull now proceed to give an Account of the 

 Diforder calPd the Anticor in Horfes. 



T 



CHAP. xxn. 



Of the Anticor. 



HIS Diforder in Horfes is calPd in French^ 



Anticceui% on Account of its being over- 



againft the Heart, or in the Breaft. 



The Signs. The Signs of an /-/////Vc?;' are (according to the 



befl Obfervations of Men of Experience in Farriery ) 



a Swelling in the Breaft of a Horfe, which fome- 



times rifes upwards along the Gullet, and threatens 



fuffocating him ; he will hang down his Head, and 



groan much when he is laid down ; forfaking his 



Food ; neither can he floop to Grafs or Hay upon 



the Ground ; he has a faltering in his Fore Leg?, 



and trembling of the whole Body ; and if you tic 



up his Head to give him a Cordial-Drench, he is 



likely to tumble over. 



LngVifa It is faid, that our Englijh Horfes are not fo fub- 



l-iorics not je,^ to this Diilemper as the French, Spanijh, or 



kA^to th'- *^^^'^^ foreign Horfes are; the' I know no Reafon 



for it, unlefs it be that our Climate, which is more 



temperate, does not generate thefe inflammatory 



Diforders fo frequently as in the hotter Regions 



^■iiiticor.
