240 The Compleat Hotfeman : cr$ 



every fecond, third, or fourth Morning, in greater 

 or lefTer Dofes, in proportion to the abundance of 

 the Evacuation, the lofs of Appetite and beating 

 in the Flanks, which require greater Intervals, and 

 a fmaller quantity. If this caufes too great a com- 

 motion in the Horfe's body, you may infufe two 

 Ounces of Tobacco in a quart of Oil Olive, letting it 

 ftand upon hot Afhes all Night, and in the Morn- 

 ing injed half a glafsful of the ftrain'd liquor, luke- 

 warm, at each Noftril. In purfuing this, or any 

 other method, you muft ftill remember to promote 

 the Evacuation by the Noftrils, during the wane of 

 the Moon, and to ftrengthen nature with Cordials, 

 during its encreafe '-, and during the ufe of evacua- 

 ting Remedies, to keep the Horfe to a moiflening Diet, 

 particularly to moifterfd Bran, which is more eafily 

 digefted than Oats. Perfumes receiv'd at the No- 

 ftrils, are us'd by Farriers, but I never faw 'em do 

 good ; they make the Horfe too lean and dry, and 

 link his Appetite^ befides, injecting with Syringes, 

 makes Perfumes and Feathers ufelefs. But after all, 

 I have feen Horfes hold out for fix years with the 

 Glanders^ and do all their wonted fervice, without 

 the ufe of any Remedies, though indeed the Dif- 

 eafe carried 'em off at laft. 



Another Remedy for the Glanders, is this. Take 

 the fecond Bark of the Elder-Tree that grows in watery 

 placet cut fmall<, and with it fill a three quart Tot a 

 third fart fully adding two quarts of Water, and boiling 

 it to the Confumftion of one half-, ftirring it from time 

 to time. Then add another Quart, and confume that too. 

 Then pre fs out the remaining Quart, and deffolve in the. 

 ftra'irfd Liquor half a Pound of Oil Olive. Inject half 

 a Pint of this Liquor into his Noftrils, and give him 

 the reft to drink, walking him afterwards abroad 

 in his Cloaths for half an hour. It may be repeated 

 after eight days. Sometimes it corr.pafles the Cure; 

 however, it never produces dangerous effects.
