33° The Compleat Horfeman : or y 



want of the Clyfter, you may thruft a piece of Soap 

 into the Fundament. 



If the Diftemper be extreamly Violent, and the 

 Horfe is very reftlefs and troubled with a vehement 

 Palpitation of the Hearty and if a great deal of 

 Siime is drawn out of the Fundament, give him 

 3 Clyfter, of Sheep's Blood warm, every two hours : 

 If the violence of the Difeafe rt 111 continues, /twill 

 be convenient to give him three Dopes of the Pills % 

 two or three hours after the laft of the former" 

 Dofes *, without fearing the ill confequences of giv- 

 ing fo large a Dofe \ for the heat of thefe Pills is 

 qualified by the Antimony, and the fix'd Salt, with 

 which they abound. 



This method will always fucceed, if it be fea- 

 Ibnably begun } but if the firft infults are over- 

 look'd, 'tis a dangerous Cafe. If this Difeafe is. 

 attended by a running of much Matter at the Nofe, 

 'tis a Sign of Death •, efpecially if the Humours 

 are frothy. If it be caus'd by violent exercife, or 

 over- heating, 'tis a hard matter to cure it. I have 

 ©bferv'd fome Horfes feiz'd with it in the Stable, 

 others after very moderate riding \ and others a- 

 gain, after the violent agitation of the Body, oc- 

 cafion'd by Cholick Pains \ in all which Cafes the 

 Cure is the fame. 



Since the (linking Pills, mention'd but now, are 

 of excellent ufe for Horfes, not only in this, but in 

 many other Diftempers, 'twill not be improper to. 

 take a view of their Compofition. 'Tis this. 



The ftinkin* 'take the reddefi and clear eji AfFa-fce- 



Pitls for Uo\- tida, Bayberries of Provence or Italy, and 



ten Greafe» Liver of Antimony, of each an equal quan-
