ii/i/jfo/ This difeafe is fo called indeed, but yet all able and ^, 

 skilful Farriers do laugh at tliofe that give it the fame Epiphrafey JJ'y ^' 

 for it is none other thing but a A^Uncholy blood wherewith the 

 creature is opprelFed, for it doth perplex the heart more then 

 any other member or part of the body ,caufing him in the night 

 to fweat more then in the day, bereaving him of his fleep and 

 natural reft, andthebeft figns to know this difeafeis, by ob- 

 ferving well the horfe^-whtn you come unto him in the morning, 

 you fhall perceive him to have fweat as well in the Fla?7ks as 

 NeckjSind Short-ribs next to the place where the heart lieth. 

 The Cure for the malady is .• 



Take of Salt one handful, Sallet-oyl half a pint, and of 

 brown Sugar Candy made into fine powder, four ounces j mix 

 all thefe very well, then warm them upon the fire, and fa 

 give it him with a horn blood-warm, give him this two morn^- 

 ings together, and it will cure him : But the day before you 

 drench him, firfl open the two Spur-veins^ and let him bleed 

 there very well. "^^^ 



I have known many who have taken a good great ftone 



^ which hath had an hole in it, and they have taken a withe and 



'jiM it through the hole of the faid ftone, and fo hung it upon 



the top of the Rack, juft over the horfe ^ whereby he hath been 



)erfeA;ly cured.
