fpace of two days, and then renew it again, not failing to do fo every 

 two days, until you fee it wax hard and firm above ; for thisPlaifter 

 being reftridive, will force the Humours to refort always downward ; 

 which Humours muft be drawn out with Turpentine and Hogs-greafe 

 as before, until it leave Mattering, and then dry it up with burnt 

 Allom beaten into Powder, and ftrowed upon the Sore, with a little 

 Flax laid again upon that, continuing fo to do every day once until 

 it be hardned ; and let not the Horfe come in any wet until it be 

 whole. 



Other Farriers ufe to tent the Sore with Tallow, Tar, and Turpen- 

 tine being molten together, and anoint all the Coffin and Cronet of 

 the Hoof with Bole-Armoniack and Vinegar beaten together, *till the 

 Sore be whole, efpecially if the thing which did prick the Horfe was 

 venomous or rufty. 



CHAP. ex. Te draw out either Stuh, Thorn, or Iron, either 

 out of the Foot, or any other fart of the Body. 



IF either the Stub, the Thorn, the Iron, or any thing whatfocver, 

 wherewith your Horfe is wounded, be gotten fo deep into the Flefti, 

 that you cannot get hold upon it to pull it out ; then according to the 

 Opinion of the Old Farriers, (if you find that altho' it be too deep, 

 yet it is not much too deep) you fhall take a good quantity of Black- 

 Soap, and lay it to the Sore for a whole Night, and it will make it to 

 appear, fo as you may pull it out with a pair of Nippers ; but if it lie 

 very deep, then you may open the Place with a Lancet, and thruft- 

 ing in your Mullets or Nippers, pull it out by ftrength, and afterwards 

 heal up the Wound as was before taught in the laft Chapter. 



Other Farriers fay. That the Roots of Reeds being flampt and mixp 

 with Honey, will draw out any Stub or Nail ; fo will alfo black Snails^ 

 being ftampt and wrought with frefli Butter. Now if the place be 

 much fwoln, then it is good to mollifie it with a Plaifter made of 

 Wormwood, Parietary, Bears- foot, Hogs-greafe, and Honey well 

 boiled and mixed together, which will affwage any new Swelling that 

 Cometh by Stripe, or otherwife. Now when you have gotten out 

 that which you fought for, then you fhall pour into the Wound fcald- 

 ing Oil of Olive ; when that is cold, pour into it as hot Turpentine; 

 when that is cold, flrow on the Powder of Sulphur, and then bolfter his 

 Foot or the Sor« with hurds, and keep it from all wet and filthinels.
