Gentian, Annifeeds, Cummin feeds, of each three drams, make 

 them into fine powder, and make pafte with them with honey, 

 and frelh butter, of each like quantity, fo much as will fuifice» 

 and put to it the yolks of two new laid eggs ; make this pafte 

 into pills, and every morning fafting give him three or four 

 of thefe Pills rolled up in the Powder of Enulacampana, and 

 the Powder of Licoris, of each like much. Thefe Pills pre- 

 ferve the Wind of the Horfe marvelloufly, and keep him al- 

 ways in breath, and therefore good they be oiten uled- "^^"^ 



Of thefe two Receipts I have had great experience, and a 

 third I was taught, whereof I had not oft made tryal, yet 

 with that little experience 1 have had of it, i do find it to be 

 light good, being as followeth. 



Take the Excrements of a fucking Child, and put unto it a 

 pint of white Wine j let it boil till the one half be confumed, 

 and fo give it him blood-warm. This will caufe him to fov- 

 fake his blowing for fifteen days \ fo as when he begin neth a- 

 gain to blow, give him the fame medicine again, and fo keep 

 him with this from time to time, fo oft as you fhall have caufci 

 and by this means you fhall have his wind good- ^\^*. 



But then you mufl: beware you put not into the Wine too 

 large a proportion of the Excrements, for it will make him to- 

 be very fick, and peradventure endanger him, for howfoever 

 when at any time you do adminifter it, it will make him very 

 fick. Remember alio to fprinkle his meat, and to give him 

 white water.

 Bifpcfertii. The general Opinion ii^ that there are but two 

 ibrts of thefe kind of creeping G-f-^fwrf/, to wit Bots and Wormsr- 

 for they hold that Trmchions and Bots are both one and the 

 fame thing, but they are much miftaken •, for Bots are of a dif- 

 ferent Ihape and colour from Trmthinns^ and of different na-
