and the weaker of thefe^ which wanceth the Mercury and the Arf- 

 nick^ may be applied to the Fiftula in the Mouth of a Horfe. Other 

 FHrriers rake of' Sublimatum made into Powder one ounce, the midft 

 of well Leavened Bread flack baked, three ounces, of Nenin ten 

 drams- mingle them together with a little Rofewater, and make 

 Tents 'thereof, and dry them upon a Tile, and at your Pleafure tent 

 your Fiftula therewith, and it will alFuredly kill it. Others take flrong 

 Lye, Honey, R-Och-Allom, and Mercury, and feethe them together, 

 and 'fquirt it' into a Fiftula, and it will kill it at the bottom, and 

 when you mean to dry up the Fiftula, take red Wine, Goats-dung, 

 and Bean-fiower, and feethe them together, and apply it to the 

 Fiftula, and it will dry it up. 



Now if you intend to fmk down the Swelling of a Fiftula, firft: of 

 ail fear it with a Drawing-Iron in this Proportion t > and then take 

 Rozen Sheeps-Suet, andBrimftone, and boil them together, and lay 

 it upon a Fiftula very hot with a Cloth, and it will fink down the 

 Swelling. It is alfo moft excellent to take away a Wind-gall, if it be 

 laid on after the Wind-gall is prickt, but not too hot, but veryrcafo- 

 nable, and it will keep it alfo very clean. 



IS" There be other Farriers, which for a Fiftula take Verdigreafe, 

 Butter and Salt melted together, and pour it fcalding hot into the Sore ; 

 and ufe this till all the Flefti look red ; then tent it with Verdigreafe, 

 burnt Allom, Wheat^flower, and the Yolks of Eggs well beaten and 

 mingled together ; laft of all, skin it with Barm and Soot mixt together.

 CHAP. CXXXIV. Of the Ambury. 



AN Ambury is a great fpungy Wart full of Blood, which may grow 

 upon any part of the Horfe's Body, chiefly about the Eye-brows, 

 Koftrils, or Privy-Parts, and it hath a Root like unto a Cock's- ftone. 

 Now the Cure, according to the Opinion of the ancient Farriers, is,
