the Diftemper be obltinately fixed. After which, 

 let him have two or three Purges at due Intervals. 

 The Negro -Slaves in the Caribbee Ides are fubje^: 

 nienc lor ^^ ^ Diftemper called the TanAjs, which, according 

 r^'?aUcr't^ the Defcription I have had of it, refembles the 

 Farcin in Horfes ; I mean that Sort where the Ul- 

 cers turn out the Lips like a Hen's Fundiment. And 

 I have been told from good Hr?nds, that nothing 

 comes up to Venice Turpentine, four Ounces ; ^ick- 

 filuer, fix Drachms ; mixed for an Ointment to ^- 

 noint the Sores or Ulcer? j and there is a very good 

 Reafon why this Application along with proper In- 

 ternals (hould work a Cure. 



In the Cure of the Farcin of any Klind, moll 

 Prepnrations from Antimony take Place, and a 

 Conrfe of Crude Antimony itfelf, or the Mineral 

 JEthiops, for fome Time, is very proper. The fol- 

 lowing Preparation is, I think, as efFedual as any 

 to eradicate this flubborn Diilemper.

 fcs to buy 

 Chymical 

 Medicines 

 from the 

 Apotheca- 

 nss Hall. 



Tah Butter of Antimony^ and Bexoar Mineral, 

 of each an Ounce ; mix and make a Pcn^jder'y which 

 may be beat up with half a Pound of the Cordial 

 Ball while the Ball is moift or foft enough to take 

 it up. 



Give the Horfe the Bignefs of a Wallnut, or three 

 Quarters ef an Ounce, of this Ball every Day for 

 two or three Weeks, letting him fall two or thiee 

 Hours after it, and have moderate walking Exercife. 

 Its Operation is by Sweat and Urine, and in Human 

 Bodies the Mineral Bezoar will fometimes vomit, 

 but it is a very fafe and efFedlual Alterative in Horfes 

 if continued for fome Time, otherwife little Good 

 can accrue from its Ufe. But I advife every one, 

 who value their Horfe's Health, to buy fuch Things 

 from the Apothecaries-Hall in London, where they 

 may be fure to have it genuine : But the Chy mills 

 are the greateft Jockies of all others ; for thefe and 

 fuch like Artificers, who keep Medicinc-Ware- 



houfes.
