Hippoph. ^ \JHat fay you n the Colick? 

 ^^Xick. V V HippeferHs. It is, Sir, a difeafe which Com- 



eth of wind, and therefore we generally call it the wind colick \ 

 the t-'rench call this diieafe the Tranch^ifons j it caufeth great 

 gripings, and extreara pain in the belly of the Horfe, fo as he 

 will oft-times lie down. and tumble,hc will ailoflrikeat h'lshclly 

 with his hinder fect^ and /lamp with hh fore feet ^ and the pain 

 will be fo great as to caule him to forfake his meat : thefeligns 

 I have often obferved in Horfes perplexed with this malady j 

 and albeit 1 have fundry Receipts for it, and all or the moil of 

 them by me tryed and approved good, yet one of Mr. Blmde- 

 'viles and Mr. A-Jarkhams, I hold inferiour to none of mine, for 

 I have often tried it ^ and this is it: 



Take a quart of Muskadine, or of fweet Sack, of Cloves, 

 Pepper, Cinnamon, of each half an ounce, Sugar two ounces, 

 make all thefe into fine powder, and give it him bloud-warm, • 

 then anoint his /.?»!;/ with Oil de Bay ^ (but I often ule toa- 

 noint them with the Ointment of Acopum, finding it to be 

 much better) then bridle him up,and trot him out a good round 

 trot, or gallop him foftly fometimes the fpace of an hour un- 

 til he do dung, butif he willnot, then rake him, orelfeputan 

 Onion pilledand jagged into his fundament : then for three or 

 four days, let his drink be either fweet Mafhesor Whitewater, 

 and keep him warm, and he will do well again. ^^*. 



y^nother. 

 Keep him falling over night, and in the morning give hint 

 this drink. Take of White-Wine a quart,Fenugreek 4 ounces, , 

 Bay-berries, and Pepper, of each 4 onnces. Grains and Ginger 

 of each 1 ounce, Water-crefTes '2 handiuls,Sage i handful, Sen- 

 grene I pound. Mints a handful, ftamp the herbs, and pound 

 t-he fpices,and put them into the Wine, and let it boil a little, 

 then ftr^iin it, and put to it of life Honey two Ipoonfuls, and 

 fo give it him blood- warm. ^^'^. This I have alfo found to be 

 very good : notwithltanding if he be a Jroned horfe f the belt 

 cure tor him is to have a Mare^ efpecially if he be fo troubled 

 with the colick. So as that he canr.ot pifs j befides it helpeth
