ter it hath run a Day or two, you fliall only apply to the Sore a Plai- 

 Iter of Pitch, till it be whole. 



C H A P, LXXXVII. Of the SeUender. 



TH E Sellender is a certain kind of dry Scab, growing in the very 

 bent of the Ham of the hinder Leg • and it extendeth out into 

 ill favoured Chaps or Chinks, which if it be not prevented by Medi- 

 cine, it will fret in funder tiie Sinews of the Hoof. It is in all Points 

 like untoa Mallander, and itproceedeth from the felf likeCaufes^ and 

 requireth the felf fame Cures , therefore look into the Chapter of the 

 Mallander, and whatfoever you find there, that will Cure the Mal- 

 lander, the fame will alfo Cure the Sellender, 



CHAP. LXXXVIIL Of the Hough Bonny. 



THE Hough Bonny is a round Swelling like a Paris Ball, grow- 

 ing upon the very tip or elbow of the Hoof, and cometh ever 

 of fome Stripe or Bruife j but efpecially when he beateth his Hoof ei- 

 ther againft the Poft which ftandeth behind him,- at the nether end of 

 his Stall, or againft the Bar which doth divide him from another 

 Horfe, which many Rammifh Jades will do, when they feek to ftrike 

 at the Horfe which ftandeth next them. 



Now the Cure thereof is thus, according to the Opinion of the old 

 Farriers . Take a round Iron fomcwhat (harp at the end, like a good 

 big Bodkin, and let it be fomewhat bending at the Point j then hold- 

 ing the Sore with your left Hand, pulling it fomewhat from the Sinews, 

 pierce it with the Iron, being ftrft made red hot, thrufting it beneath 

 in the bottom, and fo upward into the Jelly, to the Intent that the 

 fame Jelly may ilTae downward out of the Hole^ and having thruft 

 out all the Jelly, tent the Hole with a Tent of Flax dipt in Turpen« 

 tine and Hogs-Greafe molten together j and alfo anoint the outfide 

 with Hogs-Greafe made warm, renewing it every Day once until the 

 Hole be ready to clofe up, making the Tent every Day lelTer and leffer 

 until it be whole. Now for my own part both for this Sorance, or any 

 other Bruife in this Part, I have found this Cure ever the beft: Firft 

 cither with rotten Litter or Hay boiled in old Urine, or elfe with a 

 Plaifter of Wine-Lees and Wheat-Flower boiled together, to ripen the 

 S«felling, and bring it to Putrefadion, or elfe to drive the Swelling 

 away i but if it con>e to a Head, then to lance it in the loweft part 

 of the fbftnefs, with a thin hot Iron, and fo let our the Mi^tter • then 

 to tent it with Turpentine, Deers-Suet, and Wax, of each a like'quan- 

 tity molten together^ laying a Plaifter of the fame Salve over it, to 

 hold in the Tent until it be perfectly well.
