let him remain in the Stable four and twenty Imirs at the

 and either put him forth to Grais or elfe if he be to be 

 wrought, work him, for the more h-'s labour is, and the more 

 fpare his diet is, the fooner he is cured. ^"^ This I commend- 

 ed to you for the belt and mol?: certain cure I could ever meet 

 with J for with this Reciept only, I alTure you on my credit,

 other Ferriers holden for incurable, and fentenced to be food

SECT. 2. F. 



Hippoph. ¥ Have heard of another kind of Fa.rc'm called the Wa-- 

 JL ffr-Farcin. 

 Fiipfof. Truly Sir, inanfwer tothis, I by obfervation of this 

 difeafe do find, th§t thcic ishuZ CHCly one kind, albeit I will not 

 dCuic, but that fome one may be more malignant then another,, 

 wn Far- according to the conftitution of the Horfe, who is vifited there- 

 with, by reafon that Choler may be in th^t Horfe more predo- 

 minant then in another Horfe^ of any of the other Humonrs^ for 

 then it cometh forth more dry j but if the fforfe be naturally 

 Rheumatick, then may it appear more watry and moill, and fo 

 of the refidue -, but ftill it is but one and the fame infirmity, 

 for more forts 1 could never find. But touching this watry 

 Farcin, as you are pleafed to term the fame, the French giveth 

 this name, <viz.. la Loitffe which is in Englifh the Wolfe^ and 

 they gave me the reafon why they do fo call it, to wit, be- 

 caufe it feftreth the flefli, eating and corroding therein inward- 

 ly, and it beginneth moll commonly in the feet, rather then in 

 sny other member ofthcHorfe. And for this difeafe a famous 

 French Marijhal of Faris^ gave me this enfuing cure, but I ne- 

 ver yet made tryal thereof, 'vjz,. 



Firft wafh the place, and ihave away the hair, and fearch- 

 the place well with your finger, and let forth the corruption,, 

 but be fure you fearch it to the very bottom. 



Take then Horfe-dung, or Goofe-dung, Wine, Salt, and ^ 

 Vinegar, of each fo much as will fuffice, and make thereof a 

 Salve, and fo Plailter-wife apply it to the forrance, binding it 

 on, ar4 the third day open it j and drefs it up again, as be- 

 fore,
