This fiiould be rubb'd well in at twice, half of it 

 foon after Bleeding, and the Reft twelve Hours af- 

 terwards, . walking the Horfe a little 'till the Keat 

 be gone off. 



If you put in more Spirit of "Wine than I have 

 ordered in this Mixture, it will not be fufficiently 

 warm fo as to penetrate deep enough to do Good, 

 and if more Oil be made ufe of, it will be too hotj 

 and caufe the Hair to come off, and the Horfe's 

 Hide to crack and break as far as the Mixture 

 reaches : Therefore if the Medium be kept fo as 1 

 have ordered, I believe it will be as effedtiai as any 

 Thing which can be apply 'd, and yet not fo hot as : 



to bring the Hair off, altho' it be heated in with a J ' 



hot Fire- {hovel. 



Capt:Jn Burdon in his Pocket-Farrier orders Oil 

 cf Spike and Oil of Swallows mix'd, to rub a 

 fir in'd Shoulder ; but thefe two Oils are of quite 

 .cifferent Properties as much as Water and Spirit of 

 Wine; fo t]^:it by this injadicibus Ccnipofition, 'cis
