on the outfide of the fhoulder, running 

 along the fmall veins with heat and in- 

 flammation; and fometimes a few fmall 

 buds appear near the withers, and on the 

 outfide of the hip. In all thefe ap- 

 pearances, the difeafe being fuperficial, 

 and affeding only the fmaller veflel, is 

 eafily conquered by the following me- 

 thod, when taken in time •, for the fym- 

 pleil: farcy, if negleded, may degenerate 

 into the worft lore. 



Bleeding This didemper then being of an in- 

 almoftai- fiammacory nature, and in a particular 

 ^^J} "^" manner affeding the blood-veffels, mud 

 necefTarily require large bleeding, parti- 

 cularly where the horfe happens to be 

 fat and full of blood. This always checks 

 the beginning of a farcy, but is of fmall 

 fervice afterwards; and if a horfe is low 

 in fiefh, the lofs of too much blood fome- 

 times proves injurious. After bleeding, 

 let the horfe have four ounces of cream 

 of tartar and lenitive eleifluary; which 

 may be given every other day for a week, 

 to cool the blood, and open the body; 

 and then give nitre three ounces a day, 

 for three weeks, or a month; and anoint 

 the buds and fweliings with the following 

 ointment twice a day.
