CHAP. VII. 



Of a Hsemorrhagy, or Bleeding. 



AHkmorrhap, is a Flux of Bloody at the Nofe 

 or Mouth, occafion'd by uniifual Fatigues ia 

 hot Weather.; which mingle the Blood with a Salt 

 or fpirituous juice, that makes the Blood ferment, 

 and boil out of its VefFels ', or by overfeeding, which 

 occafions a Redundancy of Blood ; or by violent 

 exercife, which makes it boil up, and open the 

 Mouths of the Veins. That a faline Spirituous Li- 

 quor will rajfe a ftrong Fermentation in the Blood, 

 is plain from the violent Ebullition that happens 

 upon mixing the Spirit of Wine,Hartshorn, or Soot, 

 with Blood drawn from the Veins. 



To flop a Bleeding at Nofe or Mouth, left it 

 kill or weaken the Horfe, you muft immediately 

 let him Blood in the Flanks or Plate Feins of the 

 Thighs, or rather in the Neck, if you take Blood 

 enough in the other parts. Then beat a large quan- 

 tity of Knot-grafs (or, if you cannot find that, of 

 Nettles) to a Majh, and fill the Horfe's Noltrils 

 wichit ; binding alio fome of it to his Temples, and 

 to his Reins, where the Saddle ends, and even to 

 his Stones, if he is not gelt. In Summer let the 

 Horfe ftand two hours in Water, up to his Flanks ', 

 or if you want a Conveniency for that, cover his 

 Head and Back with a Cloath, feven or eight times 

 doubled, and dlp'd in Vinegar and Water. Keep him 

 in the Stable with his He'ad upright, not fuffering
