ufe. Nov; when you would ufe the medicine, you mult make 

 it into a Salve after this manner : Take of the Oyl of Ro- 

 fes two ounces, and of the cleereft of the faid Vinegar in the 

 Glafs ( which muft not have any of the Lithcrgy in it ) two 

 ounces alfo ^ beat thefc together, with a wooden Splatter, 

 wntil you have brought it into a thick Salve .• Take then of 

 Quick-filver the weight of a fhilling, and firft mortifie it 

 very well in a little of the firrup of Damask Rofes, the 

 quantity of fix or eight drops, and about three or four 

 drops of the fpirit or Oyl of Turpentine ^ with the firrup 

 and Oyl, mingle and work thefe things well until the Quick- 

 filver be very well mortified, then mix it well with the for- 

 mer Salve, and then put it up into a clean Gally-pot, and fo 

 keep it ^ and firft making the places raw, anoint them 

 with thefe Unguents, and it will kill any Mainge in the Body, 

 Main or iail^ \^ This is very good. Another very good : 

 Take of Tar a Gallon, of tryed Hogs-greafe, and Bole- 

 armoniack of each two pound, of Pepper one pound, beat 

 the Pepper and Bolearmoniack to very fine Powder, and then 

 mix all the ingredients together, making them into one bo- 

 dy, then firft fcrape the forrance, fo as you do raife the 

 fcurfe and dry crufty ftufF, but not to make it raw, or to 

 bleed much, and then anoint all the places infeded, rubbing 

 and chafing it in very well, as if it be in winter, let one 

 hold a bar of hot Iron neer to the place as you anoint and 

 chafe it in ^ but if in Summer, the fun will do it much bet- 

 ter as he runneth at Grafs, and thus drefs hun every three 

 days fo long as the Unguent lafteth, and he will be cured. 

 ^:jj^ This is an approved cure. 



Another to perfume this cure, the beft way is, to give the 

 fire to the place after this manner : The iron being hot, 

 firft draw it along either fide of the chink, then draw it up- 

 on the top of the chink, then draw three itrakes ( if need fo 

 require ) overthwart, and in fliort time the hoof will grow- 

 again, fo as the chink will be clofed, and remain found and 

 whole. And over and above, you may exercife him that ve- 

 ry next day after you have thus given him the fire, provided 

 his exercife be not upon hard, but upon foft or fandy ground. 

 ^■^ This is a very able cure taught me by a ilngular Manjhal^
