almosl confumed. Then remove the Vejfel from the 

 Fire \ and adding an Ounce of Camphyr, make a Pul- 

 tis, to be applied to the fwollen Cods, and renew'd 

 after four Hours, without taking away the former, 

 or covering the Part. This will remove the Heat 

 and Pain *, and the Swelling too, if it be a fimple 

 Inflammation. But if the Swelling continues ftill, 

 and the Stones hang low, after the Heat and Pain 

 are gone ; 'tis a fign of an Hydrocele, i. e. that by 

 a Relaxation of the Peritoneum, the Cods are fill'd 

 with Water ; which, if retain'd, may corrupt the 

 Stones, and occafion a fatal Gangrene. In which 

 cafe, after the Application of the former Pultisj 

 you muft make a fort of Gruel of c n Hm 

 Barley-meal and Vinegar , and when frocele. ^' 

 'tis almolr. boil'd, add half the quantity 

 of Chalk, with zjufficient quantity of Oil of Rofes and 

 Quinces, and two Pugils of Salt -, and apply it as hot 

 as you can touch it with your Hand, binding it 

 on very carefully. Or, inftead of that, boil 1 

 fufficient quantity of Beans in the Lees of Wine, till 

 they grow foft; then beat them to a 

 Mafi ; to two Pounds of which, add pjgj 

 half an Ounce of Caftor in fine Powder, 

 and few all up in a Bag, large enough to cover the 

 Stones, to be bound on as hot as it can be fuffer'd, 

 the Cods being firft anointed with the Ointment ox 

 Oil of Rofes. Twenty four Hours after anoint 

 again, and heat the Bag in the fame Lees of Wine 

 in which the Beans were boiled •, continuing to re- 

 new the Application after the fame manner, till the 

 Swelling be abated. 



If all proves ineffectual, and the Stones hang very 

 low, and feel as if they contain'd a great deal of 

 Water, you mud geld your Horfe at the Full-Moon ; 

 and, if the Stones were not ulcerated, the Wound 

 may be eafily healed.
