Mortar well together, and then lay it to the Sore, renewing it once 

 a Day for three Days, and it will kill the Mallander, provided always 

 that before you lay any Thing unto the Mallander, you ever pull off 

 the dry Scab firft, and leave no Hair growing within the Sore. Other 

 Farriers ufe to take a paring of a Cheefe, and toafting it very hot, 

 anoint it with Honey, and fo lay it hot to the Mallander, and renew- 

 ing it once a Day till the Mallander be whole ; or elfe beat Hens dung 

 and Gilliflowers well together, and lay it to the Sore till ic be whole. 



Other Farriers ufe, after they have waflied the Sore clean with 

 warm Water, andfhaved off the Hair and the Scabs, To take a Spoon- 

 ful of Soap, and as much Lime ; mingle them together that it may be 

 like Pafte, then fpread as much on a Clout as wi/1 cover the Sore, and 

 bind it faft on with a Lift, rerxwing it every day once, the fpace of 

 two or thrcas days ; and at the three days end, take away the Plaifter, 

 and anoint the Sore with Oil of Rofes, made lukewarm, and that will 

 fetch away fcurf or crufty asker, bred by means of the burning Plai- 

 fter; which fcurf being taken away, wafh the fore place well every 

 Day once with his own Stale, or elfe with Man's Urine, and chen im- 

 mediately ftrow upon it the Powder of burnt Oyfter-fliell, continuing 

 fo to do every day once until it be whole. 



Other of our later Farriers ufe to take a quart of Watar, half a 

 pint of Oil, and as much Flower as will thicken it with feething; 

 then lay that hot to the fore twice a Day, for four Days together • then 

 take Maftick, Frarikincsnfe beaten into fine Powder, Quickfilver, 

 killed either in the Juice of Lemons, or in ftrong Vinegar, of each 

 an ounce ; then of Liturgy half an ounce, of Cerus ten ounces ; and 

 as much of Swines-greafe clarified; incorporate and mingle all thefc 

 together with Vinegar and Oil, and lay it to the fore until the Mai- 

 landar be killed ; then heal it up as is before (hewed. Others ufe, af- 

 ter they have wafiied it arkd (haved it, to rub it with Pifs and Scap until 

 it be raw; thenlay to it Nerve-Oil, Honey, and ftrong Muftard, until 

 it be whole. c5thers ufe to take Sulphur, Vitriol, Sal-nitre, Sal- 

 gem, mixed with Oil de Bay, and to rub the Mallander well there- 

 with. Now to conclude, you (hall underftand, that fome Horfcs will 

 have two Mallanders upon one Leg, one above another, and fome- 

 times one a little above the inward bending of the Knee, and another 

 a little below the inward bending of the Knee, but the Cure is all alike ; 

 and as you drefs one, fo you may drefs two or three. 



Now for mine own part, I have not found any Thing better for a 

 Mallander, than after the Sore is cleanfed, to take the Ordure or 

 Dung of a Man, and anoint the Sore therewith, and it will kill ic 

 and heal ic.
