under another Tribe ; ) I fay the Glands of the ' 

 Liver which feparate the Bile, are in thefe Cafes fo 

 flopped, that they ftraiten the Motion of the Blood 

 through that Vifcus or Bowel, and that to fuch a ■ 

 Degree as forces it fo ftrongly into the Gaftrick 

 Arteries, ( which go, or branch off from the He- 

 patick, ) that it breaks thro' into the Stomach. And 

 from hence it is that fuch Unfortunates are fubjeft 

 to \'omit Blood, in the laft Stages of their miferably 

 fpent Lives ; for this Symptom is a very fatal one, 

 I can affure them, and fuch as does not admit of a 

 Cure. 

 The Cure. If the Jaundice fucceeds the Colick, as is often 

 the Cafe, then it is proper to give the following 

 Mixture. 



A Pu-ge Take Turkey Rheuharh in Ponder, one Ounce and 



for the ^^if . Englijh Saffron in Ponvder, t^vo Drachns ; 

 Jaundice. Jf^es called Succotrijte, one Ounce ; Syr nip of Buck- 

 thorn, as much as is fufficient to make it into a Ball', 

 which may be given the Horfe in a Morning, and 

 about a Pint of warm Ale upon it. 



You muft not expeft that this Purge will operate 

 much, nay perhaps not at all in fome Conftitutions ; 

 yet it will do great Service in the Jaundice, by pro- 

 moting other, though infenfible Dilcharges, as well 

 as carry the Diftemper off by Urine. But if Rheu- 

 harh be thought too dear or chargeable, it may be 

 omitted, and more Jloes added. Yet the Medicine 

 cannot be fo effeaual by fuch Management ; and, I 

 can aflure the Reader, I lludy a? much as poflible, 

 not only fuch Drugs as are moft ferviceable in the 

 Diforders I treat of, but likewife the Charge of 

 each Prefcription, that it may not exceed the Bounds 

 of Horfe-Phyfick. 



If the Tello^'js or Jaundice romes of itfclf, the 

 Colick not preceeding, give the Horfe the afore- 

 faid Purge with Rheuharh j after which let him 

 have the following hfufotj.
