Of a PLEURISY, and 



In a pleurify, a horfe heaves and works 

 violently at his flanks, with great reft- 

 lefnefs, and for the mod part his belly 

 is tucked up; but in an inflammation of 

 the lungs, he always fhews fulnefs, and 

 the working of his flanks is regular, ex- 

 cept after drinking and fhifting his pof- 

 ture; and his ears and feet are for the 

 mod part cold, and often in damp 

 fweats. 



The cure The cure of both thefe diforders Is the 

 of a pleu- fame. In the beginning a fl:rong horfe 

 fify, and „.j^y JqI^^ three quarts of blood, the next 



lunps y ''•'^ quarts more-, and ir iymptoms 



' ^ * do not abate, the bleedings mufl: be re- 

 peated, a quart at a time-, for it is fpeedy, 

 large, and quick repeated bleedings that 

 are in thefe cafes chiefly to be depended 

 on. But if a horfe has had any previous 

 weaknefs, or is old, you muft bleed him in 

 kfs Quantiti' s, and oftener. Mr. Gibfon 

 recommend: rowels on each fide the 

 bread, and one on the belly •, and a 

 blidering ointment to be rubbed all over 

 his brifket upon the foremod ribs. 



The me- The diet and medicines (hould be both 



^ic.nes cooiino;, artenuatinp-, relaxing;, and di- 



" ' ^' lutingi and the horfe fhould have warm 



mafhes.
