s)\ the kinds of Cholicks above mcntion'd ; and 

 ought to be kept ready made by Travellers, iince 

 Cholicks are fo frequent upon a Journey, and 'tis 

 hard to adjuft the particular Species of 'em. The 

 Specifick is this. 



Take Roots of Mafler-wort y Leaves, 

 and Roots of Radices, greater Centory, f Qr ^JTkMs 

 and Tanfy, all drtfd in the Summer- of Cholicks. 

 Sun , or in the moderate heat of an 

 Oven in Winter, of each a pound ; Germander , Ground- 

 pine? Roots of Angelica and Elecampane, all dry*d 

 in the Jhade^ of eacn half a pound ', Sea-mofs, and 

 Liver Aloes, of each four Ounces; Gdangal, Nutmegs 

 and Sal Prunella, of each two Ounces. Pound 'em 

 all apart, then mix and keep 'em in a Leathern Bag, 

 or glafs Bottle clofe ftopp'd. The Dofe is from a a 

 Ounce to two Ounce and a half, according to the 

 fize of the Horfe, to be mix'd with three or four 

 Drams of Old Treacle, or an Ounce of Treacle Dia» 

 teffaron, or Mithridate ', and given in a pint of White- 

 wine ; walking the Horfe afterwards in his Cioaths. 

 If y@u fufped Worms, an Ounce and an half of the 

 Specifick Pouder, mix'd with half an Ounce of Mercu- 

 rim dulcis, will infallibly kill them. Thofe who 

 are prejudic'd againft Mercury, may mix an ounce. 

 of the Specifick Pouder with an Ounce of Aloes,, 

 three drams of Coloquinttda 7 as much of Agariclu 

 and half an Ounce of Turbith -, and give the whole 

 in a quart of Wite-wine, with a quarter of a pint 

 of the Gall of an Ox, covering him well after it, 

 and walking him for a quarter of an hour. This 

 will at once purge and kill the Worms : But it is on- 

 ly proper for great Eaters, and that about two or 

 three days after the Fit of the Cholick is over. Thofe 

 who have not the Specific^ Pouder ready made, 

 may put in its place an Ounce or two of the fol- 

 lowing Pouder, which is cheap and afily pre- 

 pared, viz.*
