a 10 ^he Jrt of Farriery 



Clyfter-Pipe, and tie his Tail down to his Tuel Lr 

 ibme Time. 



I can fee the Reader fmile at finding the Cordlil 

 Ball come into the Compofition of a Clyfter ; but 

 he may be eafy when I affnre him, tliat there are 

 feveral Things rer.dy mixed and incorporated in that 

 Ball, which are proper by w^ay of Clyfter ; more 

 particularly, Oil of Annifeeds is a noble Thing, by 

 Van Helmont Hyled Solatnen hitejiinorum, it is of fo 

 great Eileem and Account in the Cure of Flatulent 

 Diforders of the Guts. 



De Grey has the following Cordial Drink in the 

 Chapter of the Colick. 



JDf G» « 's Take of White Wine, a ^nrt j Tenugreek Seeds, 



tojKh 'or Bay-Berriesy and Pepper, of each four Ounces', 

 the Colick g:^:^;^_^ ofParaJife, and Ginger, of each one Ounce ; 

 Water-Creffcs, tnjoo Handfuls } Sen-jreev, one Pound i 

 Mint, one Handful : Stamp the Herbs, and pound 

 the Spices'; then frain it, and put to it of Li^vB' 

 Honey tnvo Spoonfuls ', and fo give it the Horfs Blood' 

 nvafm. 



Notv/ithftanding De Greys great Experience in 

 Farriery, I think the Quantity of Pepper too great 

 in this Mixture, to be giren by the Mouth ; nor 

 do I fee ^^•hat Bufmefs the Sengreen, as he calls it, 

 or Houfc-Leek, has to do in fo warm a Compofiti- 

 on ; that Herb being known, even by the common 

 People, as nn exceeding great Cooler ; and it really 

 is fo, infomuch that I have feen the unskilful Ap- 

 plication of it to a Burn or Scald, fo cool and de- 

 flroy the natural Heat of the Part, that a Mortifi- 

 cation or Gangrene has been threatened for fome 

 confiderable Time after it. Thei-efore, I think the 

 Sengreen fupcrfluous, and contrary to the main In- 

 tention of the Drink ; unlefs De Grey thought he 

 had put too much Pepper down in his Prefcription, 

 and fo thought proper to cool it with the Juice of 



Hsufe-
