But if all this will not ferve, then it fhall be very requiiite and 

 needful to draw him Checquer-wife with a hot Iron, over all the 

 Shoulder-Point ; and alfo to make him to draw a Plow every Day- 

 two or three Hours at the leaft, to fettle his Joints^ for the fpace of 

 three Week's or a Month ; and if any thing will helpj thefe two laft 

 Remedies will fet him found. 



Now there be other Farriers which for this Grief, firft let the 

 Horfe Blood in the Breaft-Veinj and then Rowel him from the ne- 

 ther part of the Spade-Bone down to the point of the Shoulder^ which 

 done^ you dial! fet a Parten-Shooe upon the found Foot^ and fo 

 turn the Horfe to Grafs for the fpace of a Month, not forgetting 

 every other Day^ to ftir and remove the Rowels^, and fo thruft c ut the
