all thofe dogs they have bitten and drew blood from, 

 will be mad in like nnanner. 



The fccond is called the running Madmji^ and is lefii 

 dangerous, however incurable. The dogs that are 

 troubled with this madnefs run not on men, but dogSj 

 and on no other beafts. The fyrnptoms are, they will 

 fmell on other dogs, and having fmelt them, will (hakd 

 and bite them, yet Ihaking their tails, and feeming to 

 offer no harm : with other tokens I omit for brevity 

 fake. 



Of the Dumb Madnejl, 



Tiie five Madneffes (or rather Sickneffes) which are 

 curable, are thefe : 



The firft is called the Dumb madnefs , and is thus 

 known: the dog that is troubled therewith will not 

 feed, but holds his mouth wide open continually, put- 

 ting his feet to his mouth frequently, as if he had a bone 

 in his throat. 



The cure is thus : Take four ounces of the juice of 

 Spathnla putrida^ and put it into a pot , then take the 

 like quantity of the juice of black Hellebore, and as 

 much of the juice of Rue : having ftrained them all well 

 through a fine cloath, put them into a glafs : then take 

 two drams of Scammony unprepared, and having min- 

 gled it with the former juices, put it into a horn or fun- 

 nel, and convey it down his throat, keeping his head 

 up ftraight, left he caft it up again ; then bleed him in 

 the mouth, cutting three or four veins in his gums that 

 he may bleed the better j and in a {hort time you will 

 find amendn:ient. Or you may onely take eight drams 

 of the juice of an herb called Harts-horn, or Dogs-tooth, 

 and you will find it a moft excellent receipt againft any 

 madnefs whatfoever.
