 Intentions, I iliall offer fome Amendments toMr.G/3- 

 fofis Deco3ion and Ball for Reco'very of lojl Appetite. 



Moll Diilempers, efpscially Chronic ones or thofe 

 of long landing, derive their Original from depraved 

 Digeilion ; and altho' Horfcs (as I have faid before) Horfes not 

 arc not fo fubjea to Difeafes of the Stomach as Man, J" ^^^^^^ 

 who ranfacks both the hidies for hot fiery Spices to^o^.j^^>^ 

 fatisfj' his moft unrcafonable Guftation ; yet many stomach as 

 Difeafes in them are produced from Faults in the Sto- M=~n, and 

 mach, or in other Word?, the Faults of the Stomach ^^'hy. 

 or depraved Digeilion, very often are the Occafion 

 of many Difeafes in Horics, as well as that the Dif-

There are two mod remarkable Caufes of Chylifi-

 Guts, he as naturally and with as good Reafon de^ 

 fires Mud aud Dirt, as he does his Hay when he is 

 hungry : And in my Thoughts, every Horfe which 

 is conftantly kept in the Stable, and has not Gn;fs 

 fometimes for Years together, ought to have now 

 and then powdered Chalk, burnt Hartshorn, or the 

 like, given him in his Provender, inllead of being
