The Dieting of Grey -Hounds contilis in thefe four 

 things: Food.Exercife.Amng.^nd Kennelling. 



Food of a Grey-hound is two fold : general, that is, the 

 maintaining of a Dog in good bodily condition i and 

 particular, when the Dog is dieted for a Wager, or it 

 may be for fomc Diften:iper he is atflidted with- 



A Grey- hound's general Food ought to be Chippings, 

 Grulis of Bread, foft Bones and Grillles. Your Chip- 

 pings ought to be fcalded in Beef, Mutton, Veal or 

 Ven ifon- Broth i and when it is indifferent cool, then 

 make your Bread onely float with good Milk, and give 

 it your Grey-hounds Morning and Evening i and this 

 vvill keep them in good Hate of body. 



But if your Dog be poor, fickly, and weak, then 

 take Sheeps-hcads, Wool and all, clean walh'd, and ha- 

 ving broken them to pieces, put them into a Pot •, and 

 when it boils, fcum the Pot, and put therein good ftorc 

 of Oatmeal, and fuch Herbs as Pottage is ufuaily made 

 0fi boil thefe till the Flelli be very tender: then with 

 the Meat and Broth feed your Dogs Morning and E- 

 venhig, and it will recover them. 

 ., If you deligne your Grey- Hound ^ot ^ Wager, then 

 give him this Diet-bread^ Take half a peck of the 

 hncft and dtiell Oat-meal, and a peck of good Wheat, 

 having ground them together, bouk the Meal, and 

 fcattering an indifferent quantity of Liquori(h and 

 Annifeeds well beaten together ; knead it up^ with 

 the Whites of Eggs, new Ale and Barm mix'd to- 

 gether, and bake'^it in fmall Loaves indifferent hard j 

 then take it and foak it in Beef or any of the afore- 

 iaid Broths s and half an hour after Sun-rihng, and 

 half an hour before its fetting, having hrit walkt 

 and air'd your Grev-hound, give it him to eat. This 

 will not onely increafc his ilrength , but enlarge, his 



Wind.
