IMPROVED. 221 



When yoa ufe it, which may be after two Days 

 cold Infufion, you fhould add to every Dofe you 

 give the Horfe about two Ounces of Syrrup of dry d 

 Rofes, and give it Milk-warm ; but Icaft the Apo- 

 thecaries impofe fonie other Syrrup upon you in the 

 Place of the Syrrup of dry'd Rcfes, I ftiall fet down 

 a Recipe for an excellent Reftringent Syrnip, which 

 'tis Pity but all Apothecaries and Farriers Ihould 

 keep. 



Take, Oak Bark, one Fouvd; Pomegranate Shells, An Excel- 

 Roofs of Torment il, and Bijhrt, of each t^vo Ounces ; Unc Re- 

 boil them in a Gallon of Sprinjr-Water to //^r^^ J""8^"t or 

 71 J 7 n- n ■ 1^ T ' J J ^ binding 



rounds, or three Tints ', jtrain the Liquor ^ ^^'^ ^^ Syrrup. 



it fettle ^tillfne ; ^ibich pour off as clear as may be. 

 To the Liquor -add Juice of Sloes, and Barberries, of 

 each a Pint ; ^ivhich boil and enjaporate to one Pint j 

 then add fine Sugar, t<vjo Pounds, and boil to thi Con- 

 fijhnce of a Syrrup. 



This makes a Syrrup fo reflringent and binding 

 that it may be trufted to in Fluxes, even by itfelf, 

 where fuch Things are wanted, and fo ftrengthens 

 the Stomp.ch and braces the Fibres, that it will in 

 1-Iuman Bodies {efpecially in Children) cure Agues 

 or Intermitting Fevers ; however, a great deal of 

 the Jefuits-Bark may be fpared, was this Syrrup 

 contrived into all the Forms convenient for it, or 

 the Bark made up into Bolus's with it. 



Laftly, I fh?.ll clofe this Chapter wdth a Clyiler 

 from Mr. Gibfon as order'd in a Bloody-Flux ; tho' 

 that Author very ingenuoufly confeiTes he never faw 

 a Horfe feized with fuch a Dillemper, yet believes 

 fome may have it, as it is not inconfiilent with the 

 Oeconomy of that Animal. 



The Clyfter is this, and I think as well contrived 

 a^ poiTible where the Cafe is within the Reach of 

 fuch Things ; and if it don't operate when given as 

 a Clyfter, I fee no Harm can accrue from its being 

 given by the Mouth.
