fiSo the Jrt 0/ Farriery 



Farcin That Kind of Farcin which begins in the Head 



Y/hich be-^ ^^^ upper Parts is moft eafily cured, unlefs it has 

 Head^moft Z'^^ amongft the Kernels of the Jaws, and towards 

 eafily ^^^ Ear-Roots ; in which Cafe the Glanders are 



cvired. threatned. 



Farcin I^ t^^s Diftemper be not fpeedily cured, the 



caules Horfe in procefs of Time becomes fubjeft to many- 



broken other Difeafes, as the Telloivs, Broken-njoind, Con- 

 Wind, &c. ^^^p^i^^^ ^^_ ^hich fliU renders the Cure of the 



Farcin more difficult and hazardous. 

 The Far- When the Farcin begins in the moft depending 

 Gin begin- Parts of a Horfe's Body, it is difficult to remove it, 

 ning in ihe fo as to make the Cure lafting ; by Reafon it is often 

 Limbs dii- attended with the Greafe. I fhall now proceed to 

 ficukto ,■, o 

 (.^^j.e_ the Cure. 



The Cure. '^^^ ^^^^^ ^^ ^^^ Farcin confifts in removing the 

 Lentor, or flow, languid, and fluggifh Difpofition 

 of the Blood, whidi I fuppofe is much diverted of 

 its Spirits, and therefore more liable to be obftrufted 

 in the extreme Parts, or fmall Blood- VefTels in the 

 Skin and flefhy Pannicle. 



Firft, Regard mull be had to the Horfe's Strength ; 

 for if he is lean and weak. Purging is forbidden ; 

 yet it is necefTary to begin with a Courfe of Medi- 

 cines of that Kind, provided the Horfe is well able 

 to ftand out their Operations. Therefore I fay, this 

 muft be in the Owner's or Farrier's own Breaft. 

 Monfieur Solleyfell, the famous French Author, will not 

 Solieyfetl agree to Purging, unlefs the Horfe be coftive or 

 againll bound up in his Body, and even in that Cafe he does 

 Pj^rginS^for • J. ^^ Clyllers. But there is no doubt but Purging 

 t e ^^ ^"'jyip^icines are proper to clear the firft Pallages, and 

 lay a good Foundation for the follovv'ing Medicines. 

 However, I mull not omit informing the Reader, 

 that many poor Horfes are ruined, and their Conili- 

 tutions {hatter'd and broken to Pieces very often, by 

 being over purged, according to the ignorant Di- 

 rections of their ill-judging Owners, orelfeofthe 

 Farrier?, who have no other Notion of the F::rcin, 

 than that it is a Difeafe in which the Blood is full
