 ticles, which rrjfe a Fever with great Sicknefs and 

 Fainting ; and when any Creature is fick or faint - 

 ifti, they breathe Ihorter and thicker, which as I 

 apprehend is the Reafon of the Heaving, and not 

 any thing that ftrikes to the Horfe's Heart, (as the 

 vulgarly received Opinion goes) which caufes Foun-
