When by a relaxation of the /m- 



Rupture^ ' ^ ww > the Guts fal1 into the Cods, 

 p ' you muft endeavour to put up the 

 fallen Gut with your hands -, or if you cannot do 

 it otherwife, call the Horfe on his Back on foft 

 ground, and bind his two Legs on each fide toge- 

 ther -, and having bath'd the Stones with lukewarm 

 Water, put up the Guts with your Hand. Then 

 apply the following Bag. 



Take the Roots of Comfrcy, the Bark of the Tomegra- 

 nate and Oak Trees , Cyprus- Nuts, green Oak- Apples, 

 Sumach and Barberries, of each four ounces \ Annis 

 and Fennel- feed, of each two ounces *, Flowers of Pomegra- 

 nates, Chamomil, and Melilot, of each two handfuls ', 

 pouder of crude Allum, half a pound. Tut them all to- 

 gether into a Bag, large enough to cover the Stones, and 

 few it after the manner of a Quilt. Then boil this 

 Bag for two hours in a large Pot full of Sloe Wine -, 

 or, for want of that, of thick red Wine ; after 

 which, apply it moderately hot to the Stones, tying 

 it on dexteroufly with a Bandage palling round the 

 Flanks, and ty'd on the Rump •, heatiug the Quilt 

 in the fame Wine, every twenty four hours; and 

 continuing the ufe of it for a confiderable time. 

 Afterwards the Cods may be fomented with Aftrin^ 

 gent Baths. 



I have feen fome TrufTes for Horfes, fo dex- 

 teroufly made, that they could leap very well 

 with them. But the fureft Remedy is to geld 

 the Horfe, after the Guts are put up •, for fo the 

 Cods fhrink up, and the Guts fall no more down 

 into them.
