Milk, (or for want of that, of Cows Milk,) till they af- 

 fume the confflency of a liquid Ointment. Anoint the 

 Fart with this Ointment, and put into the Funda- 

 ment a Tent dipt in the fame, repeating the Appli- 

 cation from time to time. Or, 



lake Powder of burnt Oyfter-fiiells, two Ounces; the 

 green middle Bark of an Jifh-tree beaten, four Ounces \* 

 (or, for want of that, two Ounces of the dry Bark ) 

 good Honey, a quarter of a Pound • and half a Pound of 

 the leavened Dough of a Rye -loaf ready to be put into the 

 Oven. Make a Pultis without Heat, to be 3pply'd 

 cold to the Fundament, renewing the Application 

 every twelve Hours. 



If thefe Applications are not attended with fiic- 

 refs -, as foon as the Inflammation and great Heat 

 are remov'd, you mull cut off the Part of the Fun- 

 dament that hangs out with a fharp Knife, heated 

 red-hot, to prevent a Flux of Blood. 



If the Fundament fhrinks into its Place when the 

 Horferefts, and falls out again when he trots, 'tis 

 a fign of a Fijhla : In which cafe, the beft and moll 

 fuccefsful way, is to tie a Piece of ftrong Pack- 

 thread about it, and cut it quite off with a red-hot 

 Knife ; anointing the Wound afterwards every day 

 with Album Rhafis, and then rubbing the Flefh 

 with SiccativitmRubrum.
