in a good quantity of warm Wiiter, and the next Eay give him a quart cf 

 this luke-warm, patting thereto two Ounces of the Oil of Ro!es% ai.d this 

 you muft do many Days together^ and if the Difeafe be new, it will

Chap. LIIL Of the Putrified nnd Rotten Lungs. 



THIS Difeafe of Rotten and Exulcerate Lungs, you Hiall know 

 bv thefe Signs : He will Cough oft and vehemently, and ever in his 

 Coughing he will cafl little reddiih Lumps out of his Mouth, he will de- 

 cay much in his Fleih, and yet eat his Meat with more greedinefs than 

 when he was found : And when he Cougheth, he will Cough with more 

 eafe and clearnels than if his Lungs were but only broken. The Cure 

 whereof, according to the Praftice of our ordinary Englifli Farriers, is, 

 to give the Horfe divers Mornings together a Pint of ftrong Vinegar 

 warm, or elfe as much of Man's Urine, with half ^o much HoggVGreafe, 

 brewed warm together. 



But the more ancient Farriers take a good quantity of the Juice of ,^g;A 

 Purflain mixt with the Oil of Roles, adding thereunto a little Traga- 

 canthum, which hath before been laid to fteep in Goat's-Milk, or for 

 want thereof in Barley, or Oaten-Milk ftrained from the Corn, and give 

 him a pint thereof every Morning for feven Days together. This Me- 

 dicine is but only to ripen and break the Impoflhume, which you fhall 

 know if it hath done, becaufe when the Sore is broken, his Breath will 

 ftink exceedingly : Then fhall you give him the other feven Days this 

 Drink : Take the Root called Caftus, two Ounces, and of Caflia, or Ci- 

 namon, three Ounces beaten into fine Powder, and a few Raifins, and 

 give it him to drink, with a pint of Malmfey. Others ufe to take 

 of Frankincenfe and Ariftolochia,[of each two Ounces beaten into fine 

 Powder, and give the Horfe two or three Spoonfuls thereof, with a Pint 

 of Malmfey. Others take of unburnt Brimftone two Ounces, of Arifto- 

 lochia one Ounce and a half beaten to Powder, and give it the Horie with 

 a Pint of Malmfey.
