have faid before, unlefs Clyfters be injefted in large 

 Quantities, they are but of fmall Service. 



After the Colon and Straight Gut are cleanfed 

 from Excrement by the Ufe of the aforefaid Clyfler, 

 it may be needful to give him the following eafy 

 Purge. 



Take of Alexandrian Senna y (knoivn hy the pointed PwrgQ in 

 Leaf, Brightnefs of Colour, and Richie fs of Fla-'^hQ Colick» 

 'vour,) tnjuo Ounces ; Liquorice-Root, one Ounce > 

 Salt of Tartar, tnjco Drach?ns ; Caraivay Seeds, 

 and frejhejl funiper Berries bruijed, each one Ounce : 

 Boil thefe in a Quart of Water to the Confumption 

 of half ; then ftrain and add of Leniti've BleSiuary, 

 ( as freih as you can get it, for when old it is good 

 for little, } two Ounces ; and of good Canary, half 

 a Pint. Give it the Horfe in the Morning rather 

 more than Milk-warm, and keep him warm cover'd 

 for fome Days. 



It is common in Cafes of the Colick in Horfes fbrOpiares 

 Farriers to give Venice Treacle, Mithridate, or i)/^y-":'3ngcrmis 

 cordium, in their Cordial Drinks, and often inc'^^'nj^of 

 large Quantities by way of Clyfter ; and this in the^he Bilious 

 firft Stage of the Dillemper ; which fo locks up theColick. 

 Caufe ojf it in the Guts, that it is all one in EfFed, 

 as if you fet the Muzzle of a Piftol to the Horfe's 

 Fundament, and let fly, in Hopes to clear the Way 

 of all Obftruftions at once. 



Indeed after the Caufe of the Diforder is re- 

 moved by Lenient Purgati'ves, Clyfler s, SiC. as be- 

 fore prefcribed, it is abfolutely neceffary warm 

 Opiates fhould be adminifter'd, fometimes by Way 

 of Clyfler, fometimes by the Mouth ; for altho' 

 thefe Sorts of Medicines are ( as I have faid ) of fuch 

 dangerous Confequence in the Beginning of the 

 Difeafe, yet are they requi£tc to hnifh the Cure, 

 and allay the Tumult of the Bowels, which other- 

 wife ends in Superpurgation, or fuch a Lax or 



Scouring
