of Corruption, and that the Purges they prefcribe 

 have an elective or fpecific Property of carrying 

 away fuch corrupted Matter with the Dung ; and 

 therefore they continue Purging the Horfe 'till the 

 very mucous Subftance of his Guts is wafted. 



I ihall not undertake in this Place to fnew that 

 there is no fuch Thing as Eledive Purgation, other- 

 wife than as I have mention'd before under fuch ge- 

 neral Head. 



If the Horfe troubled v. ith the Farcin be full of 3jgg^^|.,g 

 Flefh, let him be iirll bled fufRciently, then purged and Pi.rg- 

 with the common J/oes Purge, before prefciibed for ^rig wh^n 

 theDropfy, Chap. XXXI. and let this be repeated P'^P^'^' 

 with a due Regimen for two or three Times at pro- 

 per Intervals, which cannot be lefs than a Week : Horfts 

 For altho' a Man may be purged every other or lliould not 

 third Day, for fom'e Time without Danger, yet I l-^e F^-^gcd 

 am fatisfied, if you purge a Horfe oftner than once ^^'^g ^ 

 a Week, you run great Hazards of killing him, or Week, 

 deftroying his Conflitution. 



A lean Horfe in the Farcin does not require Bleed- what Me- 

 ing or Purging, but rather a Courfe of Sudorifck iicines 

 or Sweating, and alterative Medicines. Therefore, pf'^P'-'i' for 

 whether the Horfe troubled with this Dillemper be ^^J^J? j^ 

 fat or lean, the following is a proper Ball to be con- ^he Farcin, 

 tinued for the Space of three Weeks or a Month. 



Take Native Cinnabar, four Ounces j Gujn Guia- A Ball for 

 cum, one Ounce 'j Zedoary Root, and Galangal, ^iheFarcia. 

 €ach half an Ounce ; Diaphoretic Antimotiy, one 

 Ounce ; Venice Treacle, three Ounces ; mix thefe up 

 ixith a Found of the Cordial Ball. If it be too 

 hard, it may be foften'd with a little Syrrup of Saf- 

 fron or the like, giving Allowance for the Weather. 

 For the Ball will fooner grow hard and brittle in 

 Summer than Winter. 



The Horfe Ihould have the Bignefs of a Pidgeon's 

 Egg of the Ball, twice a Day before his Water, 

 and be duly exercifed according to his Strength . For 



nothing
