MaUnders. f i 1 H E MaUnders are certain chops 

 JL on the bending of the Knee, 

 which void a red (harp biting Water. They are 

 painful, and make the Horfe halt, or at leaft go 

 ftiff at his firft going out of the Stable. They are 

 eafily known by the {taring briftled Hairs about 

 them, and are accompanied with a fort of Scab. 



The Selenders are chops of the fame 

 Selengers. nature, on the bending of the Hoof. 

 They are more unfrequent than Ma* 

 lenders-, and confequently more dasgerous, as 

 denoting a greater quantity of humours in the 

 Hoof. 



For Cure of both. 'Tis improper to dry up the 

 Sore. We mull: content our felves with qualifying 

 the fharpnefs of the acid humour ', by fcouring off 

 the Corruption flicking on the Hair or Skin, with 

 Blacky Soap (which is an Alkali) and rubbing the 

 MaUnders with it \ and then walhing the part with 

 Vrine, or good Lye, or Oil of Nuts ihaken with 

 Water. But the fureft method of Cure is, to a- 

 noint the Sores once a day, with a Mixture of 

 equal parts of Linfeed Oil and Brandy, fhak'd till it 

 grows white. Which is an excellent Medicine, and 

 does at once both dry and allay the fharpnefs* If 

 the Selenders caufe a hard Swelling, that hinders the 

 motion of the Hoof, you may give the Fire with 

 good fuccefs ; for the fituation of the part is in- 

 convenient for the application of Remedies.
