Hippoph. \ATHat is good to ripert injiammatms^ Pufiih ^ and 

 Kermis f which do grow under the Chaul of the 

 Horfe? 



Hippof, This Cometh to a horfe that hath cither Cold or 

 Glanders, which muft be diflblved, othcrwife the horfe caa- 

 never be cured : Wherefore take Wheat-Bran two handfuls, 

 Tiflmmati' and fo much Wine, Ale, or Beer, as one quart, with which to 

 »«• thicken it, put to it of Hogs-greafe half a pound, boyl thefe 



together till the liquor be quite confumed, and ib apply it 

 to the place fo hot as the horfe may well fuffer it, renewing it 

 every day once, till it do of it felf break, or be foft to be o- 

 pened, then let forth the Corruption, and taint it with a taint 

 of flax dipped in this Salve. Take of Turpentine and of 

 Hogs-greafe of each like much, and of Rofin and Wax a much 

 greater quantity ; melt all thefe together, and with the faid 

 taint dipped in this medicine, put it into the wound, and re-, 

 newing it every day once till it be whole. *^* This is an ap-^ 

 proved receipt. But if it be an inflammation impoftumating 

 in any other part of the Body, take then the Grounds o^ a 

 Beer-Barrel, four quarts of Smalage, Pcnny-Royal, Winter- 

 Savory, Cumfrey, Rue, and of the leaves and berries ot the 

 Mifleltow , of each two handfuls, chop all thefe very fmall, 

 V 1^ ^d put them to the faid Grounds, and put to it of Sheeps 

 or Peer-fuet tryed one pound, and three or four handfuls 

 of Rye or Wheat-Bran, fo much indeed as will fcrve to boyl 

 this to a Poultifs^ and when it is boyled as much as will fu- 

 ifice, apply it to the place, and if the fweliing be very much 

 impofl;umated, it .will break it^ or attlie leaft fo foften it, 

 that it may be opened \ if it be hard at what time you put 

 your Pc«/f]ty> thereunto, it will fend it back again without any 

 wore todo. ^^'^ This I have very much experimented, and 

 have found it to be right good. But if he be troubled with 

 the Strangles^ and that he is very much inflamed under the 

 Chaul, then cure them thus : Take Bafilicon, old Bores-greafe, 

 and Dialthca, of each four ounces, ofOyl-de-Bay one ounce, 

 incorporate all thefe very well together, and firft cjipping
