For Cure : Take two quarts of Milk,, or of Tripe- 

 broth % Oil Olive, and frejh Buttery of each four or 

 five Ounces \ the yelks of fix Eggs, and two or three 

 Ounces of Sugar. Make a Clyfter to be repeated 

 every three hours. Purgatives given at the Mouth, 

 increafe the pain by moving the humours and 

 twitching the Guts : So that Clyfiers, frequently in- 

 jected are infinitely preferable -, to which after the 

 pain is fomewhat afTwag'd, we mufl add two ounces 

 of ' Diaphoretic^ Antimony, in order to melt the Hu- 

 mours, and remove the Caufes. The following Mix- 

 ture is an eafy and familiar Remedy of good ufe, 

 to allay the pain, attenuate the thick humours, and 

 qualify their heat and fharpnefs. 



Take Oil of Rofes, and common Oil, of each a pound \ 

 fine Sugar, eight ounces ', Rofe-Water, a pint. Mix, and 

 pour a glafsful down his Throat with a Horn, every 

 three hours. 



When you perceive that the Horfe is freed of his 

 pain, feed him with BranRven or eight Days-, af- 

 ter which to extirpate the caufe, purge him with the 

 following Oil, which is preferable to all other Pur- 

 gatives, by reafon that it moves a Horfe 's Belly with 

 out thofe fatal diforders that commonly enfue upoa 

 the taking of other Purgatives-, tho' indeed I could 

 wifh, fome powerful Diaphoretic!^ were fubftituted 

 in the place of all Purgatives, ft nee they prove fo per- 

 nicious to Horfes. The Oil I fpeak of, is this. 



Take of Oil Olive, three pounds ; Cla- 

 ret Wine, a pint ; pulp of Colocjuwttda, * n ?* ™ 

 five Ounces ; Flower of Lin feed, an 

 Ounce and an half', three Lilly Roots, cut into round Jli- 

 ces ', Mifsletoe of the Apple-tree beaten, an Ounce j 

 Chamomil Flowers, a handful. Put all the Ingre- 

 dients into a Pot, cover'd exactly with another 

 fomewhat lefs, and lute the Jun&ures of the VefTeis 

 with Clay, temper'd with a little Hair or Wool. 

 After the Clay is dried, boil the whole Compofition 



gently
