CHAP. LV. Of the Wrench in ths Shoulder. 



TH E Wrench or Strain in the Shoulder, cometh of fome dange» 

 rous flipping or Aiding, either in the Stable or abroad, or of too 

 fudden flopping, when a Horfe gallops, or by falls either on the Planks 

 or on flippery Ground, or by too fudden turning on unfure Ground, 

 or by going too rafhly out of fome Door, or by the ftroke of another 

 Horfe i you fliall perceive ic by his trailing his Leg upon the Ground 

 clofe after him. 



The Cure is. To let him Blood upon the Plat-vein, and take away 

 the quantity of three pints of Blood, which Blood you muft fave in a 

 Pot, and put thereunto, firft of ftrong Vinegar a quart, and half a 

 dozen broken Eggs, Shells and all, and fo much Wheat-flower, as 

 will thicken all the Liquor j that done, put thereunto of Bole-Arrao- 

 niack beaten into fine Powder a pound, of Sanguis Draconis two oun- 

 ces, and mingle them together fo as the Flower may not be perceived, 

 and if it be too ftiff, you may add a little more Vinegar; then wich 

 your hand daub all the Shoulder from the Mane downward, and be- 

 twixt the fore-bowels, all againit the hair, and let not the Horfe de- 

 part out of that place until the Charge be furely faftened unto the ":>kin,* 

 that done, carry him into the Stable, and tie him up to the Rack, 

 and fuffer him not to lie down all the Day ; and give him a little Meat, 

 dieting him very moderately the fpace of fifteen Days, during which 

 time he may not ftir out of his Place, but only to lie down ; and every 

 day once refrefli the Shoulder Point with this Charge, laying ftill new 

 upon the old, and at the fifteen days end, lead him abroad to fee how 

 he goeth, and if he be fomewhat amended, then let him reft without 

 travelling, the fpace of one Month, and that will bring his Shoulder to 

 Perfection : But if he mend nothing at all, for all this that is done, 

 then you fhall Rowel him, as is before fliewed in the former Chapter, 

 juft vipon the Shoulder-Point, and fo keep him rowelied the fpace 

 of fifteen Days, not forgetting to ftir the Rowel, and cleanfe the 

 Wound each other Day, and then walk him up and down fair and 

 foftly, and turn him always on the contrary fide to the Sore : And 

 when he goeth upright, pull out the Rowel, and heal up the Wound 

 with Turpentine and Hogs-Greafe molten together, as is before 

 faid.
