 Fingers. Strain out the Liquor for one or two Do- 

 fes • the next day after this is taken, let your Horfe 

 blood in the Flanks, and keep him in a temperate 

 place. 



Since Horfes in this condition are wont to eat ve- 

 ry little, they mult be nourifh'd with cleans dBarly\ 

 without Butter or Fat ', or with Bread or Bran •, re- 

 membring to put the Bitt frequently into the Horfe's 

 Mouth -, and always to offer him meat when you un- 

 bridle him.
