1^ Now for mine own part, the bef^ Medicine I have found in 

 rriv Practice for this Sorance^ and the eafieft, is, with a fine Lancet 

 to open the Wind-GaU, making the Hole no bigger than that the 

 Jelly may come forth ; then having thruft it clean forth, lap a Wool- 

 len wet Cloth upon it, and with a Taylor's hot Preiling-Iron, rub 

 upon the Cloath till you have made the Cloach fuck in all the Moi- 

 llure from the Wiiid-Gall, and that the Wind-Gall is dry • then take 

 of Pitch, of Pvozen, and of MaPiick, of each a like quantity, and 

 being very hot, daub it ail over the Wind-Gull, then clap good {tore 

 of Flocks of the Colour of the Horfe upon it, and fo let the Horfe 

 reft or run at Grafs, till the Plaifter fall off by its own accord, and 

 be fure the W^ind-Gall will be gone. 



Now 1 would give you this for a Rule, that by no means you ufe 

 to a Wind Gall, either Arfenick, or Rofalgar^ for commonly then 

 the Wind-Gall will come again; neither mult you burn much, nor 

 make any great Incifioji • for any of thefe will turn the foft Subftance 

 of the Wind-Giill to hardnefs, and then the Horfe will be Lame 

 without Cure. 



CHAP. XCn. of a Strain in the Vajtern Joint,, or Fetlock. 



\ Horfe may be Strained in the Fetlock, or Paftern Joint, either by 

 fome Wrench in the Stable, when the Planchers are broken un- 

 der him, or by treading awry upon fome Stone, or upon fome Cart-^- 

 rut. as- hetravelleth by the way. The Signs whereof be theft; the' 

 Joint wlfi be fwolii and fore, and the Horfe will halt; and the Cure^ 

 according to the old Farriers, is. Take a quart of ftale Urine, and 

 ieethe it till the iFoam arife ; then ftrain it, and put thereto a handful 

 of Tanfie, and a handful of Mallows, a Saucer full of Honey, and a 

 quarter of a pound of Sheeps-Suet; then fet it on the Fire, and feethe 

 them all together till the Herbs be fodden foft; and then being very 

 hot, lay this Poulti^ to the Joint, and cover it over with a Blue-Clothj, 

 and in three Times dreffing it v^'ill help the Strain. 



Other Farriers take of Dialthea half a pound, and as much Nervc- 

 Oii, minglcthem well together, and anoint the fore place therewith, 

 chafing it well with both your Hands, that the Ointment may enter 

 iti; continuing fbto do erery day once ^rrtii the Ointm^nt-be all fpeht,
