2S% The Jrt of Farriery 



nothing removes Vifcidity and Clammynefs of tlie 

 Blood, or helps to remove the Obftru<^ions of the 

 Veflels, ^V. more than Exercife, which puts the 

 whole VafcLilar Syftem in Motion, (if I may be al- 

 lowed the Expreffion, ) an Animal Body being as 

 much a Compofition of Blood-Veffels as any Thing 

 elfe, feeing, fo far as we can trace Nature through 

 that admirable Piece of Machinery by the Help of 

 Microfcopes, we may obferve Blood-Veffels. And 

 in the very Cuticula or Scarf-skin of Human Bodies, 

 I have been many Tim.es pleafed to fee their Rami- 

 fications or Branchings out ,• but the Injeclion with 

 which this was performed, I have not been yet able 

 to learn, altho' well acquainted with the Gentleman 

 who performed the fame at the Royal Garden in 

 Paris, where I heard the late Monfieur Du Verneyy 

 vA\o writ that excellent Treatife de Audit u, bid fifty 

 Louis Wor^s for a Difcovery of it, upon feeing the 

 Blood- VeiTels in the Brain inje<5ted to the higheft 

 Perfeclion imaginable. Yet I had great Reafon to 

 believe the fame m-ollly compounded of Oil of Tur- 

 pentine, tinftured with the Rad. Anchufce or Alca- 

 net-Root. But to proceed. 

 The Liirgs If aHorfe be opened that has died of the Farcin, 

 ^'^^"^^^/^ his Lungs are frequently ulcerated, and his Liver 

 i_n^the tar- ^.|^^|j^ putrefed, and alfo full of Ulcers, which no 

 doubt is caufed by tiie hot and corrupt Blood : Yet 

 as I faid before, this is not wholly to be cured by 

 purging Medicines. 



The moft promifmg Sign of the Diflemper or ra- 

 ther its Malignity being overcom.e, is when the 

 Cords or Knots grow loofe and moveable ; for then 

 the fame may be cured with a moderate Expence, if 

 due Exercife be given at the fame Time. 



If the Farcin fhews itfelf in Ulcers like unto a 

 Hen's Fundament, cauterize or burn them well, 

 and apply the following Unguent with a Bunch of 

 Feathers.
