Hyppophylus. 



^T \TEll Hippoferus, fth hence we have finijljed this Chap- 

 ^ ▼ ter, let Hs goto th& next '^ andteU me, what means 

 haveyoH to help the falling awa^ of the Hair from the Main and 

 Tail of a Horfe. 



Hippo f Sir, this difeafe cometh fometimes by a heat which 

 the Horfe hath taken, which hath ingendred a dry Mainge in 

 the Main-^nd Tail^ which is the occalion of the fhcdding of 

 <?he Hair from thofe parts, and fometimes it cometh by a 

 Surfeit, csufing evil Hrnnoms to refort to thofc parts, which 

 is the caufe of the falling away of the Hair^ and I hare alfo 

 known a Horrfe to fhed the Hair both of Main and TaildftQY 

 ire hath be'en violently and dangeronfly vifited with the 5m- 

 ^ers, the iigns are evident. And the cure is, 



Firfttake blood from the Neckcvein, if it be only in thQuur fro» 

 Mftin^ but if in both Main «nd Tail, and then after you have the mm 

 opened the Neckzvein, and taken from thence a reafonable and tail 

 •quantity of Blood, then flit the skin of the inward part of /^^'"^ *" 

 tiie Tail, next to the Tuel from the Buttocks to the fourth'*'*^* 

 Joint, and there with your Cornet you Ihall find a hardGri- 

 iftlc which the French Marijhals do call Barivole,T2.i& it np with, 

 your Cornet and take it forth : That done, fill up the clift 

 Avith Salt finely beaten, and then with a hot iron ftecp it in 

 Buckly ', burn the Tail in fundry places, and then anoint the 

 •places fo burned with Hogs-grcafe till they be whole. *^* This 

 cure I got in France among the Marijhals there, whom I law 

 cure fundry Horfes of this malady, and I my lelf have aired 

 four or five after the fame method. If it be both in the 

 Main and Tail^ and that you be fearful to experiment this 

 cure by reafon you never faw the manner of it, then learch 

 both Main and Tail well with your finger as aforefaid, and 

 anoint the places with this Unguent. Take Quick-filver, 

 and try ed Hogs-grcafe ( the Quick-filver being firft mortified .
