Lib. I. Of Cures Fhyfical. 31 



pofition of which Diapcntc^ and of the particular Virtues thereof you 

 ihall read in a Chapter following. If you cannot really get this Diapente, 

 you may then take a Pint of yi//^j/(W/w, anddiifolve into it two Ounces 

 of the beft Treacle, and it will lerve the turn. Queftionlefs the Medi- 

 cines are both exceeding good ; for they are great Prefervatives againft 

 all Infeftions. 



Now that which I have found far to exceed, and to be raof!: excellent, 

 not only for this Plague amongft Horfes, but for the Plague or Murrain 

 (of fome called the Mountain's Evil) amongft Beafts) is this: Take a 

 good Quantity of old Urine, and mix therewith a good Qiiantity of 

 Hen's-Dung, ftir them well together till the Diing be diiTolved ^ then 

 with a Horn give to every Horfe or Beaft a Pint thereof luke-warm. This 

 have I feen help hundreds. 



Chap. XXVII. Of the Fever Accidental, coming by fome Wozirid received. 



IF a Horfe fhall receive any grievous and foretWound, either by Stroke 

 or Thruft, by which any' of the Vital Powers are let or hindred, 

 certain it is, thai; the pain and anguiili of" fuch Wounds will bring a Horfe 

 to a hot Fever, and then his life is in great danger : Befides, a Horle be- 

 ing natiuiiily fubjeft to moift Diftillations in his Throat, there will many 

 times rile thereiu great Swellings and Ulcers, through the Pain whereof 

 a Horfe will fill into a burning Ague. 



The Signs whereof are, that'he will covet much Drinic, but cannot 

 di-ink, and his Flefh will fill away in much extraordinary Faihion. 



The Cure, befides the Remedies before-mentioned, is to let him Blood 

 under his Ears, ar.d in the Mouth ^ and then to take a fine Manchet, and 

 cutting it in flices, fteep it in Muskadine, .and compel liim to fwallow 

 them : It fhall alfo be good, if once in three Days you fleep your Man- 

 chet in Sallet-Oil, and'make him eat it. ' A^ for his Drink, _ let it be only 

 warm Maihes of Malt and W'ater, which if he cannot drink, you iliall 

 then give it him with an Horn. Ai^d thus much touching Fevers both 

 ordinary and extraordinary. 



Chap. XXVill. f<r^ Or2c general, certain, and approved Cure for all the • 

 Fevers and Sichieffes formerly rehear fed, never yet difclofed from the Authors 

 Breafl. 



I Have in the former Chapters {liewed you the Names, Diveriities, , 

 Natures, Signs, and ordinary Cures for'all forts of Fevers whatfo- 

 ever : Now becaule I know the' Ignorance of fome fo great that tliey 

 cannot difcern ^ the Sloth of others fuch, that they will not endeavour - 

 todifcern-, and the Folly of many fb peeviih, that they will miftake ■ 

 what they ratiy aifcern : I will ihew you here Oiie general, certain, and 

 approved Medicine for all Fevers, of what Nature or Violence foever.
