the Cclli or cond^'Ms by which the ^ital Spirits do give fome feel- 

 ing, fenfe and motion to the ^^^, from whence proceed* the- 

 caules of difeafes and iicknef;. And for your better fatisfadi- 

 on if you pleale I may be prefent when at any time your /y^^f/- 

 w^«is to cut upaHorfefor your hoiwds^ I will let you lee moll 

 plainly both thQ Brain ^nd th^PaNJcies. 



Hippophilus. How JJiall a maft come to know when a horfe hath 

 any pAin in his head ? 



Hippoferus, The lymptoms are moll evident, if you eye him 

 well: for his eyes will fwell and become watry, and oft-times 

 Matteraiive •, he will hangdown his head^ as if he were lleepy j 

 he will prick his ears upright, forfakc his meat, and his light 

 will be dim. 



Hippophilus. What Cure have you fen he Head-ach ^ 



HippoferHs. Some ufe to perfume his head with the llalks of 

 Garlick and.Frankincente, two or three feveral times, which 

 will bring much liquid llufF forth of his Nofe^ which indeed is 

 very good, and I do pradile itfometimes as occafion is offer-\ 

 ed ^ but then withal after I have perfumed him, I ufe to let 

 him blond in the Palate vein^ and in both the Weeping veins-.. 

 And when I do not perfume him, Itake the longeft feather of 

 a Goole, and moiflen it well in Oilde Bay, which I put up in- 

 to his Noflrils \ and this doth both open and purge his head a- 

 bundantly, and then keeping his Pml warm, together with mo- 

 derate diet, for three or four days after, I then take blond from 

 the Neck-vcin •, and give him all the time of his Cure either 

 good Mafl^es or white-water^ and undoubtedly he will do well. 

 But fometimes if 1 find his head-ach coraeth of cold taken wher- 

 i-n he may be inclining to an Ague or Feaver, I then beiides 

 drawing bloody do both apply AcepHm to his Nofe^ like as! faid 

 for Oilde Bay, and alfo give him thereof to drink, as I have 

 formerly prescribed. If he be Feaverifh j take a pint of Mus- 

 kadine, the yolkes of five new-laid Eggs, and a head of Gar- 

 lick picked, pilled. and bruifed, Pepper, Cinnamon and Nut- 

 megs, fo much as well I can take up upon a Teiter or fix-peny 

 peice : thefe all made into very fine powder \ give him to drink 

 blood-warm three days together, and let him faft iix hours 

 after. ^^"^
