Mouth or Nofe, give him every day Sal Tolychrefi^ 

 and Jumper-berries beaten, of each an Ounce, in a pint 

 of red Wine, for eight Days together : And for the 

 firft four days inject every Day an Anodyne Clyfler^ 

 after you have rak'd his Fundament. 



If thefe Remedies prove fuccefslefs, as it often 

 happens in very great Strains, make two or three 

 Incifions with a large Iron flice, and feparate the 

 Skin from the Flefh on the Reins, (or that part of 

 the Back that lies behind a little Saddle) about the 

 breadth of half a Foot, on each fide of the Back- 

 bone, till you come to the Hip-bone. Then flop 

 the holes with flices of Hog's lard, of the thicknefs 

 of half a Crown, and two or three Fingers breadth 

 long and broad, to hinder the Skin from growing 

 to the Flefh. Rub the feparate Skin with an Oint- 

 ment made of equal farts of Populeum, and this 

 Ointment of Marjlimaliows •, covering the whole part 

 with a Lamb's Skin, the woolly fide inward ; and 

 laying a Saddle-cloth over all. Then hang up 

 your Horfe, or fix him in fuch a pofture, that he 

 may not be able to ftir ; and give him a Clyfter 

 every Night of Sal PolychreFt -, and every Day a 

 Potion of an Ounce of AJfa-fostida in pouder, mixt 

 with a pint of Wine, for eight Days together. 

 After forty-eight Hours uncover the fore Place, 

 and you will find it very much fwollen •, as it mult 

 be, in order to the Cure. Take out the Lard, and 

 prefs out the reddifh Matter in the Sore. Then 

 put in frefh Pieces of Lard, and chafe the whole 

 Part with the above-mentioned Ointment ; after 

 that, cover it up as before, and drefs it after the 

 fame manner, once in forty-eight hours, for the 

 fpace of twelve Days. After which, omit the Lard, 

 and drefs it with the Duke's Ointment, keeping it 

 cover'd and drefling it every Day, till the Skin be 

 reunited to the Flefh, and the Sores heal'd. Twenty
