under the Chaul^ snd fo this fweiling will run up his Cheeks 

 through the malignancy of the difeafe , and become very 

 hard ;, he will hang down his Head and Face^ and feem always 

 to fleef and forfake his meat, and his Eyes will be yellowifh \ 

 he will draw his breath fliort, which will be alfo very hot 

 and offenfive, and fometimes he will put forth Carbuncles, 

 and fwellings in his Groin, bigger then a mans fill, and his 

 Stones will hang, but this not always,andthis I have known in 

 horfes more then in one or two. The cure is, 



Take of white Wine one quart, and the herb called in P(pl(nct. 

 French Mairelle^ which we in Englifh do term Night-jljade : 

 Stamp it, and take the juyce thereof, and boyl it in the Wine, 

 and when it is boyled as much as will fuffice, take then Lin- 

 feed meal, and Barley-meal, and lift out the Bran, taking only 

 the Flower of them both, as much as will fuffice, and put it in- 

 to the liquor, and fo boyl them again to aPoultifs, and make 

 Plaifters thereof, and apply it to the fwellings, but before 

 you lay on the Plaifter, ftrew .upon them the Powder of 

 burnt Egg-lhclls, and thus renewing the Plaifters every day 

 once, you fhall either ripen or break them, or they will drive 

 the fwellings back again without further trouble j but if the 

 fwellings do break, then heal them with your green Oynt- 

 ment fo often (hewed you ^ but then to drive away the ma- 

 lignancy of the infection from the Heart, and to fend it forth, 

 firft let him blood in the Neck^^ and Weefing veins, and then 

 give him of Diapent two fpoonfuls, with white Wine one 

 pint, and of London Treacle one ounce, and this will recover 

 him. And for your other /?or/e/ • which you may have julb 

 caufe to fufped to be infeded, to prevent their danger, give 

 him this preparative : 



Take two Walnuts, the kernels only, and the older the 

 Nut^ be, the better : Take alfo two Figs, and twenty leaves 

 of Rue, ftamp them all well together, and let every horfe 

 have his proportion three or four mornings together falling, 

 befng made up and given in Pills, and let them faft three 

 hours after, and this will both preferve and free them. Thefe 

 things I have often ufed, and found them to be fpecial good.
