of the foregoing Remedies. However, if the Lungs 



are only dry'd, and but (lightly ulcerated, fome- 



what may be done •, or becaufe the condition of the 



Lungs is not eafily trac'd, 'twill be proper to make 



a trial, by making the Horfe champ twenty four 



hours together, upon two Ouncet of Jftt-fcetida, 



fpread upon a Stick, and wrap'd up in a Cloth, 



without fuffering him to eat or drink all the while •, 



for a Horfe may fair fo long without danger. By 



this means he will call forth a prodigious quantity 



of filthy humours; and, if the Lungs be not con- 



fum'd, or the Liver ulcerated, he may recover. 



And perhaps it would not be amifs to put a fecond 



ftick of frefh Affa-fcetida into hisMouth, after twelve 



hours. 



This done •, if the Horfe be flelhy and full of 

 raw, tough, and vifcous Humours, like your Dutch 

 bulky Horfes : Infufe ten Ounces of the fhavings of 

 Guaiacum-wood, or , for want of that , of Box wood, in 

 trine pints of Water, for twelve hours, on hot AJhes, T^en 

 boil with a gentle heat in a cover d Veffel, to the con- 

 fumption of the third part of the Water. Give the 

 Horfe a quart of the ftrain'd liquor every day, for 

 eight days together, keeping him bridled three 

 hours before and after ; and then purge him, for the 

 Deco&ion attenuates and prepares the Humour for 

 'Evacuation. 



If the Horfe be lean, dry, and cholerick \ Tut 

 four Qunces of China Roots, cut very fmall, into a large 

 glafs Bottle, well flopped. After they've infos' d fifteen 

 hours, boil 'em over a gentle Fire, in a covered Veffel, 

 to the con fumption of one half. Give your Horfe a 

 third part of the ftrain'd liquor lukewarm, every 

 Morning, keeping him bridled two hours before 

 and after. It mult be prepar'd frefh every three 

 days, becaufe 'tis apt to foure. After eight Do- 

 Jefc, p\\rge him ? for this Deco&ion prepares the
