Of the Glanders. 



TH E Glanders is a running at the Noftrils of 

 Phlegmatick, tough, white, red, yellowifh or 

 greenifh humours, with one or more Kernels faften'd 

 to the Bone, between the two Jaw-bones. In the 

 beginning yoa may endeavour to refoive the Ker- 

 nel, before it comes to an extreme hardnefs •, by 

 applying the following Pultis. 



Take half a Pound of Lin feed, reduced to fine Flow- 

 er ; mix it with a Quart offirong Vinegar, and boil it 

 over a very clear but little Fire, ftirring it constant- 

 ly. When it begins to grow thicks ^ add fix Ounces of 

 Oil of Lillies. Mingle them well, aad apply it 

 to the Kernel, covering it with a Lamb's Skin, as 

 in the cure of the Strangles. Renew this Pultis 

 every day. 



Some are for cutting out the Kernel, but that is 

 not always a certain Cure, for I have feen the Ker- 

 nel grow again after it has been thrice cut out, 

 efpecially when it is done in the Wane of the Moon; 

 for at that time, the evacuation by the Noftrils 

 naturally lefiens the Kernel, but the next encreafe 

 of the Moon fills it again. 



In a lefs Malignant fort of Glanders, the fol- 

 lowing method may be tried. Ts.ke an ounce of Bra- 

 mil Tobacco, cut J mall , infufe it fix hours in a quart 

 of good Brandy. Strain the liquor gently through a 

 Clout, and injeft half aglafs of it into bis Noftrils, 

 having firlr taken up his two Neck Veins, two Fin- 

 gers breadth beneath theufual bleeding place \ keep- 

 ing him Bridled four hours before, and two hours 

 after the injedion, and walking him a quarter of 

 an hour in your hand, as foon as he has taken it. 

 v This Remedy may be repeated every Morning, or
