 •Coeliac Mr. Gihfon mentions a Lientery or Flux when 



^'alhon de- ^^^^ (-j^ le is difcharged with the Excrements, which 

 icribed. Diftemper is common in Human Bodies ; and is 

 occafioned from the Mouths of the Ladeals being 

 llopt by flimy Matter, fo that the Chyle cannot en- 

 ter, but is forced for\vard, and voided with the Ex- 

 crements. This Diforder in Men is fometimes calPd 

 the Cc^liac Paffton, but I cannot believe Horfes are 

 much fubjea to it, by reafon their Exercife guards 

 them from it. 



The Cure of this Sort of Flux (nccordmg to mo- 

 dern Praaice) is by warm Aflringents only Begin 

 with he Aftrincrent Purge before fet down for a Lax 

 or Scouring; after which, give the following Infu- 

 fion by a Pint at a Time every Morning while it 

 lafteth.

 infufe them in a Gallon of good Red Port, if the 

 Horfe is worth it, if not you m.ay ufe Strong Beer 

 in its Stead, tho' the firil is much better if you will 

 go to the Price of it, and have judgment enough not
