2 j(> The Compledt Horfewan : or, 



^ ot Egg, botfdhard, cut through the middle, and 

 fprinkled with Pepper* If the Horfe be not cur'd, 

 repeat the Application the next day. In an Over- 

 reach, in frofty weather, you muft immediately 

 Wafh the Wound with warm Vinegar, then fill it with 

 Pepper, and lay over it a Reftringent Charge^ of 

 Chimney-foot, Vinegar and Whites of Eggs •, or (which 

 is better) of Lime temper d with Water ; repeating 

 the fame the next day. For an Over-reach by the 

 Caulk of Shoes*, fill the hole with Gun-pouder, bea- 

 ten and temper'd with Spittle ; then fet fire to it *, 

 and repeat the fame the next day, taking care to 

 keep the Foot and Wound from moifture-, and 

 warning the Sore from time to time with Brandy. 

 If thefedonot fucceed, fill the hole with Cotton, 

 dipp'd in Emplafirum Divinum, melted with Oil of 

 Rofes in a Spoon *, laying a Plaifter of the fame over 

 it \ and drefling it after this manner every day. , 



If notwithftanding the ule of thefe Remedies, 

 the Horfe continues to halt, and the Hole is deep, 

 with the part above the Attaint fwoln, the Hoof 

 fhrunk, and the Foot contra&ed beneath-, you 

 muft try with your Probe, if the hole reaches to 

 the tendon } and if it does, you xnwkgive the Eire. 

 If a neglected Attaint comes to reach the Hoof, af- 

 ter one or two Applications of the Honey Charge, 

 you muft proceed to give the Fire, and drefs it as a 

 Quitter-bone. 'Tis to be obferv'd that the Sore 

 muft be allways cover'd with Remedies, for 'twill 

 never heal, fo long as the Horfe licks it. If the 

 bottom of the hole be foul, though it does not 

 reach the Grift le, you muft walh it often with warm 

 Wine, and fill the hole with Schmifs Ointment.
