Early on the following morning the phyiic will 

 probably begin to work, which if it does brrfkly, no 

 more exercife need be given ; but if not, an hour's 

 walkinor motion fhould be allowed, when the horfe 

 may have a mafli, and his warm water. After this, 

 another hour's exercife fliould be given (walking

 give it rather more than blood warm.

The horfe may now return to his former habits, 

 giving him corn at firft rather fparingly, with mo- 

 derate exercife ; and, in three or four days from its 

 letting, if the operation has been only moderate, a
