 the rowel for fifteen days together at leaft, then take out 

 the rowel, and heal up the wound, then if the feafon be fit 

 for it ) turn him to Grafs with his Patten-jhooe on, and let 

 him run three or four months, and he will go upright again.

Firit fwim him, ( as you may do well to do for any grief 

 in the fhoulder or hips ) and before you do rowel him, ap- 

 ply unto the grieved Member this Bathe and Unguent. 



Take Pimpernel an arm full, Bay-berries, Primrofe-leaves, 

 Camomile, Crows-foot, Mallowes , Fennel, Rofemary, and 

 fine upland Hay ( which was cut about Midfummer ) of each 

 like much, and of each a good quantity, put all thefe into a 

 Lead or Cauldron, and there let him fteep in fair water two 

 days and two nights, then boyl it until the herbs be foft, and 

 bathe your Horfe therewith every day once good and warm, 

 and bind of thefe herbs with the Hay to the fhonlder or place 

 grieved, in what place or joynt foever it be, ufe this bath 

 four days, and at the expiration of four days, let him blood

 him bleed well, but if you have not skill or knowledge e-

 of Worms of each like much, and anoint herewith by the 

 fpace of half an hour, and then for half an hour after, trot 

 him in your hand in a f^ir foft ground, then bring him into 

 a Stable, and obferve if any of the faid Oyntment be come
