an excellent Unguent moft precious for all forts of bnrnings. 

 And the nature of thefe three Unguents be to leave no fears. 

 Wherefore we apply them for moft fovereign remedies, as 

 well for man as beaft in cafes of this nature. '^^'^. This alfo I

 Jt JL "Wens from a Horfe ? 

 F.unclics, Hippoferfis. Thefe kinds of forances do come to a Horle, by 

 Kno-s,cj~Y: jjjggjj^ of much ranknefs of bad blood, which is iiigendredof 

 peccant humours y which humors do proceed of naughty meat. 

 They are fo apparent to the eye-, that any man may point at 

 them with his finger. The way to free your Horfe of them, is 

 firft : Take up fuch Veins as you may know to feed them \ 

 then fhave away the hair from abowt the places, and for four 

 days together,lay f^gyptiacum to them ■, at four days end, wafh 

 and bathe the places with ftrong Wine vinegar made hot f 

 then take Wine vinegar one pint, green Coperas, and Diers - 

 Galls, of each four ounces, Cantharides two ounces, bay- fait 

 one handful, make thefe into fine powder, and let them boyi 

 on the fire with the Vinegar a little, and fo wafh the forances 

 therewith fcalding hot, and every third day continue thus tOr 

 do till you perceive them to dry up. Let the fcurfFfall away 

 of its own accord at leifure j if any morefhall happen to grow- 

 forth afterwards, apply the fame medicine again, albeit it 

 was formerly cured by the fame thing : yet I have not feen a- 

 ny Horfe to fall into the fame malady again, and during the. 

 time you have him in cure, let him not come in any water, but 

 keep hira in the Stable warm."^^^. Another Cure is this : Firft 

 (as before) fhave away theWr, and take up the veins which,-, 

 feed thofe forances, then fix-days after, let him blood in the 

 heels to draw away the humors downwards : then wafh and 

 bathe him well with hot vinegar ', which done, take a quart.-, 

 of Oylof Nuts, and Verdigveale powdred two ounces, and a 

 quarter of a pint of Ink; mix all thefe well together, and. 

 apply it cold to the places, rubbing atid bathing them well 

 thercY/ith, and if the Knots and Warts do not begin to dry 



up*-
