Ligaments by which the Stone hangs, which is more 

 dangerous. 



If the hardnefs and contufion be not very flub- 

 born, it may be ciir'd, by applying the following 

 Poultis, Take Honey and fiejh Butter melted, of each 

 half a pound, juice of green Coleworts a pound, leaves 

 of Rue, without the Stalks, a Urge handful, black Soap 

 a quarter of a pound, Bean- flower a pound : Stamp the 

 Rue in a Marble Mortar, then add the Honey, and 

 afterwards the Juice of Coleworts, Butter^ and black 

 Soap. Mix them well without heat, and, with the 

 Bean-flower make a Poultis to be applied cold with 

 a Hog's Bladder, and kept on with a Bandage ty'd 

 about the Horfe's Back, renewing the Application 

 every day. If the Swelling be accompanied with a 

 great Inflammation, add to the whole Compofition r 

 two drams of Camphyr, diflblv'd in three Spoonfuls of 

 Spirit of Wine. But if the Tumour be feated in the 

 Ligaments above the Stone, you mud chafe the 

 Part with Spirit of Wine camphorated, before you ap- 

 ply the Cataplafm. 



If there is Matter generated in the Stone, apply 

 to the Part where the Matter feems to be feated, 

 Emplafirum Divinum, fpread on very foft Leather ; 

 then apply the Poultis -, and, if there be any Mat- 

 ter, the Plaifter will draw it. The Plaifter 

 muft be taken off once a Day, but needs not be 

 chang'd. 



You mud let the Horfe blood in the beginning 

 and end of the Cure, and give him two Ounces of 

 Sal Prunelh every Day mix'd with Bran, which mult 

 be his only Food. 



If the Matter appears fo high above the Stones, 

 that it cannot be conveniently evacuated, you 

 mult open a Paflage with a red-hct Iron at the 

 bottom of the CW, without touching the Stone.
