tack on the Shooe again^ and you may fafely adventure to travel him; 

 Other Farriers ufe^ after they have opened the Sore to flop the hole 

 with Turpentine^ Wax, and Sheeps Suet molten together^ and fo pour- 

 ed hot into the hole ; and then lay a little Tow upon it, and clap on the 

 Shooe again, renewing it thus once every Day until it be whole; du- 

 ring which time, the Horfe muft not come in any wet, and it muft be 

 flopped in this (brt, though it be but a prick, without any piece of 

 Nail remaining ; and if for lack of looking to in time, this Retrait 

 caufes the Horfe to break out, then you fhall cure it either with a 

 reftriclive Plaifter of Bole-Armoniack, Bean-Flower and Eggs, men^ 

 tioned in the 78ch Chapter, or elfe with chopped Nettles and .Verdi-^ 

 greafe fpoken of in the laft Chapter. .•-••:.! 



Now there be many Farriers, which not only for this Retrait, but 

 for any prick on the Horfe's Foot, ufe after they have laid open the 

 Wound, totakeof Turpentine one ounce, of Tar one ounce, of Pitch 

 one ounce, of Beef Suet one ounce, and one head of Garlick, boil 

 them all together, and lay them to it fo hot as may be fufFered ; and 

 if it chance to break out above the Hoof, then apply alfo the fame 

 Medicine unto ic, and it will cure it. 



C H A P. CXIII. Of Cloying. 

 A Horfe is faid to be Cloyed with a Nail, or pricked with a Nail, 

 £\ when the whole Nail is ftricken into the quick of the Foot, and 

 fo reiuaineth ilili in the fame, and is clenched as other Nails be, by 

 means whereof the Horfe halteth extre:mily. Now this Grief is known 

 by iearching the grieved place with a Hammer or Pinfons, as is before 

 faid. Now for the Cure, according to the Opinion of the old Farri- 

 ers, 'is thus: If the Horfe halt immediately, then pull off his Shooe, and 

 Open the Hole until it begin to bleed, and then ftop the hole with Tur- 

 pentine, Wax, and Sheep-fuet molten together, andpouied invery hot^ 

 renewing it once a day until it be whole, and let the Horfe tread in no 

 wet; and let his Shooe be tacked on again as foon as he is drett. Others 

 ufe only to pour into the hole hot fcalding Butter, and that will heal it ; 

 or elfe to burn the hole with another Nail, and that will heal it. Other 

 Farriers ufe after they haveopen'd well the Sore, to takehalf a pound 

 of Frankincenfe, apcundof Rozen, a pound of Pitch of Greece^ half 

 a pound of Black Pitch, a pound of New Wax, a pound of Goats- 

 Greafe, half a pound of Varnifli, half a pound of Turpentine, two 

 ounces of Oil Olive, and melt them altogether, and lay this to the 

 Hoof Plaifter-wife, and it will not only heal any Prick whatfocvcr^ 

 but alfo any cracks, chinks, or clifts in the Hoof, howfoever they 

 breed ; provided that you let the Horfe tread in no wet during the 

 Ciire; but if the fore chance to break out on the top of the Hoof,
