 him, and a day after give him this drink, 



Bean-flower, and Bole-Armoniack Powder, of each three 

 ounces, mix them with Red wine or Tent one quart, give it 

 him blood-warm , and after keep him warm in the Stable, 

 and let him have Hay and Oats, by a little at a time, 

 and that often, and either fweec Malhes or white Water.'

Take of red Wine one quart, and Bay-fait one handful, 

 and brew them well together, and with a horn give it him, 

 and this will ftay his fcowring. \'^ This is aifo an approved 

 Cure. Another, 



Take ofWood-afhcs finely fearfed, and of Eolearmoniack 

 made into very fine Powder, of each like much, put them in- 

 to the Water that he is to drink, and let him drink thereof 

 morning and evening, and this will ftay his Flux. ^'^But if 

 it be a violent fcowring, proceeding from the eating of a 

 Feather, or fome other naughty thing, fo as this v/ill not ftay 

 it, then 



Take the Intrals of a Pullet, or great Chicken, all but 

 the Gi2ard, and mix with them of Spicknard one ounce, and 

 make him fwallow it, and this will infallibly ftay his fcow- 

 ring, yea if it be a bloody Flux, ^^j^"^ This fpecial good.
