Of BLOOD or BOG-SPAVINS. 



THE Blood-fpavin is a dilatation or fwelling of a Vein on 

 the infide, or hollow of the Hough; or in plain terms 

 where a Vein expands itfelf to a greater bulk than common; 

 and if fo, the above infirmity will foon become an oozy, foft, 

 fungous fubftance, and will caufe a Horfe to go very lame; 

 and on the other hand, I have known the above infirmity to 

 proceed from their parentage, either from the Horfe or the 

 Mare, or both of them; therefore, I would advife that no 

 Gentlemen will breed out of fuch as them. 



To Eafe a BLOOD-SPAVIN for the prefent Time, 



Take the Gall-embrocation, fee page 127, and rub the part 

 well with it; and it will give eafe, until fuch time you have 

 an opportunity to take up the Veins ; then proceed as follo^vs. 



For a BLOOD-SPAVIN. 



In the firft; place, let the Vein be taken up by fome fkilful 

 hand, above and below the Hough-joint ; then bathe the Spa- 

 vin part only, with the foUowmg mixture.
