How ufe-It would be a fure guide to diftingulfh 

 " • an inflammatory fever with denfe fizy 



blood, from an irregular deprefied one*, 

 it would dire6t us more certainly when, 

 and how often we fhould repeat bleeding 

 in fevers, and other dilbrders, and when 

 we fnould draw off blood previous to 

 purging', or refrain from the latter, till 

 by lowering the horfe's diet, his conftitu- 

 tion and blood is reduced to a proper 

 temper -, for in fuch as are replete and 

 finauine, without this caution, an inflam- 

 matlon of the bowels is foon brought on 

 by the irritations fuch flimulating medi- 

 cines produce on veiTels too turgid, and 

 many a horfe's life has been facrificed to 

 this neglecl, but more particularly, fine, 

 high fed ones. It would alfo be of ufe 

 to difcover whether a horfe has recovered 

 himlelf in due time, after having been 

 drove hard, either on the chace, or race, 

 i:Sc, This digrefTion, it is hoped, will 

 be more readily pardoned, as it is not a 

 mere matter of fpeculation, but a pradi- 

 cai remark.
