104 Of the VIVES. 



For the VIVES on a YOUNG HORSE. 



Firfl bleed, then take Spirits of Wine flrongly camphorated, 

 And Marlh Mallows Ointment of each two ounces, mixed to- 

 gether cold, then for ule. Rub the part well with the above 

 Ointment; then cover it up with hot Horfe-muck out of the 

 mixen; then put on his head a cap-hood to confine the muck 

 to the part. Repeat the fame once a-day, and give Nitre Salts 

 in all his Malhes and warm Water, during the time of his 

 illnefs. 



For the VIVES on an OLD HORSE, 



Firfl bleed, and order him in all refpefts at firft, as above 

 for a young Horfe ; then after the inflammation is abated, rub 

 the Vive-cord twic€ a-day, with the flrong Mercurial Quick- 

 filver Ointment, fee page 68, until the fubf lance is quite dif- 

 perfed, and the part becomes flat and mellow : and if the 

 above doth not flirink the part quite flat, you miifl proceed as 

 follows. Bliller the part two or three times, or at leaft until 

 the part is quite reduced fine; and be fure to give time 

 between each of the Bliflers, for the part to gool and become 

 clear from fcurf, before you repeat another BliHer: you may 

 make ufe of the Mild Bliller, fee page 108. Then it would 

 be proper to get fome fafe fkilful hand to lay the firing iron 

 on the part ; then apply the Strengthening Charge, fee page 

 1 13, and let it remain on for fix weeks at leafl, obferving not 

 to turn him to Grafs ; for the hanging down of the head is very 

 hurtful to the diforder. Then give him Liver of Antimony, 

 Nitre Salts and Flour of Brimftone on all his Mafhes : or if he 

 is a Horfe of value it would be proper to give him three or 

 four dofes of gentle Phyfic, I would recommend fome of the 

 Alterative Purges, fee page 22.
