[new Flux of Blood, by avoiding jharp Remedies, or 



I the life of a Probe ; and applying a Mixture of equal 



Quantities of a Pomegranate, Roman Vitriol, and Allum. 



Having treated of Simple Wounds, Wounds pre- 

 I proceed to thofe occafion'd or pre- ceded by Tu- 

 ceded by Swellings. If a Horfe is bit mours. 

 by another Horfe on the Neck, or near the Wi- 

 thers, wafh it with Lime -Water, or Water and Soap, 

 or with the fecond Water, If there be only a Am- 

 ple Contufion, apply Brandy ; if the Wound be 

 fmall, apply Oil of Walnuts cold, mix'd with red 

 Wine- If the Horfe have large and flefhy Withers, 

 the redundant Moifture occafioning proud Flefh, 

 and hindering the drying of the Part, retards the 

 Cure. A Hurt in the Withers occafion'd by the large- 

 nefs of the Saddle-Bands, provided it is not very 

 great, will certainly be cur'd by what follows. 



'fake the Whites of fix Eggs ', beat \ Remedy 

 them with a Piece of Allum, almofl as for a fmall 

 big as an Egg, for a Quarter of an Hour **^ c * n &C 

 together, till the whole be reduced to a ltters - 

 very thick Scum or Froth', with which you muft 

 rub the Swelling, and afterwards cover it with the 1 

 reft of the Froth, fuffering it to dry upon the Part ; 

 repeating the Application every tenth or twelfth, 

 Hour, notwithstanding that the Heat and Swelling 

 remains. 



If the Hurt be great, divert the Hu- 

 mours by letting Blood in the Neck at A Remedy for 

 firft , and repeating it after two Days. £%££ 

 If a Tumour and Inflammation follows 

 a Contufion, occafioned by the Saddle-Bows, anoint 

 thrice a Day with the Duke's Ointment ; and cover 

 the Withers with a Lamb's Splaying the Woolly fide 

 next the Part, after you have bathed them with Lime- 

 Wat er prepar'd without Sublimate ; for that Remedy 

 does very powerfully allay the Inflammation ; and 

 in this cafe Defenfives are of no ufe.
