empty, but before he do receive it, let hira be raked, and thea 

 having adminiltred it, let him keep it at leaft half an hour^

 clofe to his tuel, for half an hours Ipace, or more, for the lon-

 bell inftrument wherein togivsitto aHorfe, is a Clylter-pipe 

 made of purpofc, which ought to be 12 inches in the (hai-ik^.

 that I ever gave, was to a fmall Nag of a Gentlemans, which 

 being very collive in his body,and refufinghismeat,did droop,, 

 languilh, and pine away ;, infomuch as the owfier fearing his
