thofe, which we had moll Mind to part with, by 

 Reafon Chapmen, <vjho meafwe others Corn by their 

 cvjn Bujhef, would not believe us when we faid he 

 had been cut for the Lampas, and fo would deem 

 him an aged Horfe. 



Barbs are fmall Excrefcences under the Tongue, Barba,. 

 which may be feen by drawing it afide a little, and 

 are cured by Cuting them off as clofe as may be ; 

 but as to rubbing the Place with Salt afterwards, 

 tliere is not much Reafon or Occafion for it, the* 

 'tis commonly ufed for this and many other Ail- 

 ments, wherein it cannot be faid to fhare any 

 Thing of the Cure ; therefore I think a Spunge, or 

 Rag dipt in Brandy or Spirit of Wine is better, 

 frequently to waih the Sores withal after cutting off" 

 the Barbs. 



A Horfe is faid to have Wolve' s-Teeth \i\itvi his Wolre^s 

 Teeth grow either Outwards or Inwards fo, that Teeth, 

 their Points prick and wound either the Tongue, or 

 Gums when he eats. Horfes in their Decline of 

 Age are moll fubjedl to this Infirmity, by Reafon 

 the Teeth grow long, or in other Words, they are 

 not fo much coverM with Flefh at the Roots, as a 

 young Horfe. And when the upper overpafs the 

 under Teeth in a great Degree, 'tis then he may 

 have what the Farriers call Wolve's'T'eeth, 

 f ^ If you would remedy this Evil, you ma^ either The Cure, 

 chip off the fuperfluous Parts of the Teetn with a 

 Chizzel and Mallet, or, which is better tho' longer 

 in performing, file them down firll with a rough, 

 then with a fmooth File, till fuch Time as you 

 have wafted them fufficiently. After which 'tis 

 diredled by Farriers to wafh the Mouth with Vinegar 

 and Salt ; though warm, or even cold Water is as 

 effe^lual in removing the fmall Pieces of Bone, and 

 that is all wbjch is required. 



Splents, Ofslets, Spavins, and Ring-bones moflly Splent?, 

 owe their Formation to one and the fame Caufe, to Spavins, 

 wit, Bruii'es or hard Exercife, and fome have it ^^^^^^s, ;jnd 

 frvm their Sire or Dam j yet there is no general 2^^!^
