Horfe that hath a cold whether newly or formerly taken, ei- 

 ther, wet or dry cough •, it is alfo mofb excellent for a Horfe 

 that hath been over- ridden, or any way wronged by labour. 

 Now if his Cough be fo violent as that it may endanger his 

 wl^d J then 



TakeCalamint,Gentiana, Cominfeed, Licoris, Elecampane, 

 of each two drams, make all thefe into fine powder, and con- 

 feft them with life Honey and Butter mingled together and 

 molten j and when it is cold, make it up into Pills, then rowl 

 them in the Powder of Annifeeds, and give him of th^fe Pills 

 three or four every morning, for two or three mornings toge- 

 ther falting, and after keep him warm, and let his drink be 

 Mafhes or white water. *;5{:* But if he hath a Cough of the 

 Lungs^ give him thefe Pills. Take the Roots of Mallows new- 

 ly gathered, Elecampane Roots newly alfo gathered, of each i 

 handful, llice them thin, and boil them in fair water with Ear- 

 ly 2 handfuls, till the roots be foft, then flrain forth the liquor, 

 and put into it a penny difh of fweet Butter, of life Honey 3 

 fpoonfuls, and as much Bean meal as will make all into a pafte :

 nifeeds, and give him 3 or 4 of them every morning failing for 

 3 or 4 mornings together, keep him temperately warm, and 

 during the time he taketh thefe Pills, let his drink be either

 and dry them, and make them into fine powder, and then 

 make them up in Balls or Pills with ordinary honey fo much as

 and give him of them 3 at a time, 14 or 15 days together, or
