Drink the Yolks of two new laid Eggs well beaten into the 

 faid Drink, and after walk or ride him moderately a little 

 fpace, and then fet him up warm, and order him as in other 

 phylical Drinks. \'^ This I have often tryed, and do ap- 

 prove it for fpecial good .• for this openeth the Pipes, caufing 

 him* to void much Filth, and it begetteth a good Itomack to 

 meat. Another moll excellent, 



Firfl before you do adminifter any Drinks or Medicine, 

 give him this Purge. 



Take of the befl and iflrongeft White-wine-yinegar one 

 pint, and put it into a Pot, and put to it two new laid Eggs, 

 and fo let them fteep in the faid Vinegar four and' twenty 

 hours at leaft, and then give them to the Horfe four Mornings 

 together, and fo foon as he hath taken thera,let him be ridden 

 a while .gently and then fet up warm , and fet upon the 

 Trench till one or two of the Clock, then give him white 

 Water, and fometimes a fweet Mafh, and let his Provender 

 be moiftned with Ale or Beer, and his Hay fprinkled with 

 Water, and" this will caufe him to purge and fcowre from 

 him much Flegme and Filth : three or four days after you 

 have purged him thus, give him the drink prefcribed you be- 

 fore, which beginneth thus, viz. ( take of Tanners Owes 

 new made, wherein never came Hides, one pint, of fallet Oyl 

 four fpoonfuls, twoheadsof Garlick, d"c. J which being ad- 

 minillred as is in the faid Cure prefcribed, and he ordered as 

 is convenient for Horfes in Phyfick, will afliiredly cure him. 

 This I never made ufeof, but it was recommended to me for 

 a fpecial good one. Another, 



Give him the laft mentioned Purge of Eggs fteeped in Vine- 

 gar, and keep him to it for four or five Mornings together, 

 then for four days together after, give him anew laid Egg, 

 Ihellandall, with as much powder of Brimft one as will lie 

 upon a fnilling, then for fix mornings after, give him every 

 morning a Pill of waflied Venice Turpentine, made up with 

 the powder of the Root ofAlkanet, and let every ofthefe 

 Pills be of the bignefs of a good Wall-nut, let him take this 

 Medicineevermorein the Morning falling, and fafl after it 

 till noon, and after order him as in other Phyfical Drinks : 

 and withal you mull know that until fach time as he be per-
