Hippoph. "ULZ Hat Is to he done to a Horfe that falkth pek^in his 

 journey or travel /• 

 Hifpf. This alfo hapneth as the former doth, but yet oft- 

 ner and fooner, eipecially if he be very ht and purftve, and. 

 wanting hreath^2& alfo if he be travelled being fat & heavy,thc 

 Sun fliining and fcorching much, for fuch a horfe is in danger 

 either to tire , or to fall defperately fick , which may alfo 

 endanger his life, as I have frequently known. The cure muft 

 be, 



Take Muskadine or fweet Sack one pint, Aqua-vita a quar- skhh 

 ^ ter of a pint, of Xo»^(?»-Treacletwo ounces, and of the bcft traviU 

 ^ Sallet-oyl, aquarterof a pint : warm all thefe upon the fire, 

 and brew it well, and give him onehornful thereof ^ then take 

 his tongue in your hand ; and put down his throat a new laid 

 Egg, breaking it with your fingers as you put it forth of your 

 hand : then give him a lecond hornful, and then another Egg, 

 and after all the refidue of the drink, and fo after that a third 

 Egg '■) then let him blood in the Palat^ and rub it well with 

 white Salt, then fet him upon a Trench, cloth, flop, and 

 litter him again warm,and let him fall an hour or two after it, 

 and then feed him by degrees both with Hay and Oats, giving 

 him either a fweet Mafhor white Water, and he will do well 

 again. This drink refrefheth all the fpirits, being over laid 

 through heat and labour, and caufeth a good appetite to meat. 

 ■^^^ With this drink I have cured many fick horfes, as well 

 of mine own, as of my Friends , which have fallen very de- 

 fperately fick upon the way in travel j but if I do find that 

 his blood is inflamed, as many times it will be, I then ufe to o- 

 pen a vein in the neck.
