Take of ftrong Ale ose quart, and of Worm-wood half a 

 handful, long Pepper, Grains, and the Pov/der of dried Rue, 

 of each one ounce, London Treacle two ounces, boyl them to 

 a third part, then take it off, and ftrain it, that done put into 

 it of brown Sugar-Candy in Powder, half an ounce, and fo 

 give it him blood warm. \* This at twice giving will certainly 

 cure his Feaver. Another, 



Take Stone-Crop, of the juyce thereof four fpoonfiil, put 

 this juyce into ftrong Ale one quart, and fo give it your Horfe, 

 then let him be walked, ( if the wind be not too cold and Iharp ) 

 anjiour, then fet him up, and cover him fo as he may fweat 

 an/hour, then cool him by degrees, and let him drink no cold 

 •prater by any means, and let his Provender be good, old, dry, 

 ^^nd well lifted Oats, but againft the fit coraeth ( whether the 

 Feaver be Quotidiaji^ Tertian^ or jQmrtan ) let him be kept fafl- "" 

 ing, for the longer he is falling, and more empty upon his fick 

 days, the fooner will his Feaver leave him. ^'^ This is a well 

 approved Receipt, and let this fuffice for ordinary Feavers^ 

 provided that when his fits be gone from him, and that he ap- 

 peareth more lightfome and well, it will be very good and 

 wholfome for him if you caufc him to be had abroad, and walked 

 warm covered, and aired in due time, in the warm Sun, and 

 that will greatly comfort him, and revive his Spirits.

Hippoph. 'yUHat fay you now to the Feaver Hedtick ? 



HippGf. 1 fay Sir, it is a moll dangerous and 

 mortal Feaver, and fo malignant, as that if a skilful Farrier be 

 not with him in time, it is certain death, and firft it begin- 

 neth with a Confumption in the flefh, it proceedeth of a hot 

 Humour ingendered firft in the Stomach, which too much Phy- 

 lick hath occafioned, and by taking away of too much Blood 

 from him in his youth without neceflity j wherefore it is ; 

 thing moil perilous to take blood from young Horfes upc 

 every flight caufe, and not to be over ready with Phyfick, bu 

 only in cafe of great neceflity. The figns to know this Fea 

 ver from any other, are to look in his mouth, and to draw 

 forth his Tongue, and you ftiall find both his Mouth and 

 Tongue raw, and marvellous hot, and having little Appetite
