gently eight or ten hours. When 'tis half cold, 

 ftrain it through a Linnen Cloth, and give to the 

 Horfe one half of it lukewarm, in a pint of Tripe or 

 Sheeps-Head Broth^ not fat \ adding a little more 

 afterward?, if you find him hard to be wrought 

 upon. This Oil will keep ten Years, without the

 it a proper Medicine. 



Sometimes violent and unfufferablc 

 cholich™ Cholick pains, are occcaflon'd by broad, 

 thick and fhort Worms, or Trucheons, 

 like little Beans, of a red colour \ which gnaw and 

 pierce the Guts, and fometimes eat holes thro' the 

 Maw, and fo kill the Horfe. The Signs of fuch a 

 Cholick, are red Worms are voided along with the Ex- 

 crements (for the long white Worms feldom gripe 

 a Horfe) the Horfe's Siting his Flanks or Belly in 

 the extremity of pain, or tearing offhisSkin \ and 

 then turning his Head and locking upon his Belly ; 

 his fweating all over the body, his frequent throw- 

 lag himfelf down and ftarting up again, with ie-

For the Cure, Take half an Ounce of Mercuriut 

 dulcis ('tis worth i%d. an Ounce, and do's not 

 prick the Tongue as the Sublimate does) an Ounce 

 and an half of old Venice Treacle. Make up the 

 whole into three Pills, to be given in a Pint of Cla- 

 ret. An hour after, in order to entice the Worms 

 to the ftreight Gut, inject a fweet Glyfler of Milk 

 or Inpe Broathj with the Yel\s of Eggs , and half a 

 pound of Sugar. -
