Ointment Tt^kethe common green Ointment, (p. 2S3.J fivo 

 for Rowel- Ounces ; Cantharides or Spanijh Flies in Po^vder, 

 ^"8- ^/j^ge Drachms. Mix. 



Every other Day with a fmall Bunch of Feathers 

 work up Tome of this Ointment into the Wounds, 

 and it will caufe a copious Running. | 



If the Strain be in the Back-finew and the fame I 

 not violent, I think the Application of the follow- | 

 in<tr cold Charge may be fufficient, with Reft and Pa- 1: 

 tience : But without thefe I believe the Symptoms 

 will be aggravated. 



Cold "^^^^ of '^^^^ Armoniac in Tonvder, lalf a Pound i , 



Charge for White -n^vine Vinegar, and Whites of E-rgs, as much \ 

 a Strain in ^j rwill make it the Ccnfip7tce of a Poullis. Mix. ' 

 t^e Bacfc- 



^^^^^' Apply it pretty thick upon a Piece of Leather or 



double Cloth, and as it grows dry put on more, 'till 

 fuch Time as the Tendon or Sinew has received its 



natural Tone. ^^ , j 



There are a great many different Methods, as 

 Captain Burdov:% Turnep Poultis, i^c. Bleeding in 

 the Spnin-Vein, Poultis's of Cow's- Dung, and the 

 like : But the cold Charge exceeds them all-, thd* 

 if the Sinew be much relaxed, or if the Horfe be, 

 what the Jockies call, let down in the Smew, I 

 think nothing comes up to firing : Yet fuch Horfe 

 X Winters can never be made fo ftrcng in that Part, but a hard 

 Rvnm-rg Courfe, or Running a Race upon hard Ground, unll 

 ntcfiary let him down again, tho' he may perrorm mdilie- 

 aftcr giving ^^^^ ^^^y^ ^^^^ a Road, provided he has had a Wm- 

 theFnetcr Dunnincr after dving; the Fire. 

 ?hflS If the Lamencfs^e iS the CofHn- Joint, oiling 

 SincAv. with the Mixture for a Strain in the Shoulder, and 

 Strain in fufficient Reft may perform a Cure j but 1 have 

 the Back known thefe Strains very tedious in going oft 

 coir.monly por a Strain in the Couplings, I advile the tol- 

 s'Jay'S lowing ftrengthening Charge. ^^^^
