Of RUNNING THRUSHES in the FROG of the FOOT, 



THE above is a rotten, feeding, {linking, fharp Humor, or 

 rather a cancerous Ulcer, that fome Horfes are very 

 fubjeft to, that have narrow and fleep Heels, and commonly 

 are foft and ragged in the Frog-part ; which make a Horfe go 

 tender and lame. Nor is it proper to dry the Humor up at 

 all times, for I have feen Horfes that had Thrufhes in the 

 Feet, which had been dried up too quick, and fo the Humor 

 returned up into the Eyes, and the Horfe thereby became 

 blind. As fo, make ufe of the following fafe method at fir ft 

 for a trial. 



Firft of all cut and pare the rotten part of the Frog away ; 

 then thin the fole of the Foot round the borders of the Frog; 

 then wafh and dab the Foot withinfide and outfide, three 

 times a-day with Old Lant warmed with a hot iron. The 

 above application always ferved my purpofe; and obferve at 

 the fame time to give a courfe of PifTmg Balls, fee page 27. 

 But if the above fhould prove obfhinate, you may make ufe 

 as follows. If the Frog fhould prove more fpungy than com- 

 mon, take Roman Vitriol two ounces, in very fine powder. Bole 

 Ammoniac one ounce, in fine powder, mixed well together; 

 then pare the rotten part of the Frog away ; then fprinkle the 

 above powder on the part, and fmear it on with your finger; 

 then flop the Foot up with dry Tow. Repeat the above every 

 other day. The above application w^ill dry the part up, at 

 the fame time obferve to give Piffing Balls for fome time, or
