Of cordial DRINKS. 2^ 



Let this be a rule to all Men that adniinifler Drinks to 

 Horfes, to be duly careful in giving them, and not to cram 

 great full hornfuls at once ; and at the fame time not to check 

 and keep their heads too high and force the Drink down by 

 ; compulfion: as I may juflly fay, that if the Drink is ever fo 

 mild, and two fpoonfuls or lefs, fhould happen to go down 

 the wrong pafTage, which is the windpipe, you may depend 

 upon it to be certain death. Therefore let me ad vife the 

 reader, that when he intends to give a Drink to let it be given 

 in a fmall horn, and that not above half full at once ; and if 

 the Animal fhould cough, or fhruggle againfl the Drink, let 

 his Head down immediately and give him time to recover be- 

 fore any more is given him.
