Of Bleymes. 



ABleyme is an Inflammation between the Sole 

 and the Bone of the Foot towards the HeeL 

 There are three forts of Bleymes : The ftrft being 

 generated in fpoil'd wrinkled Feet with narrow 

 Heels, are ufually feated in the inward or weakeffc 

 Quarter. In this Cafe, pare the Hoof betimes, and 

 let forth the Matter, which is almoft always of a 

 brown colour; then pour in Oil de Merveille, charg- 

 ing the Hoof with a RemoUde of Soot and Turpentines 

 Thefe Bleymes are prevented by keeping the Horfe's 

 Feet clean and moift, and making him ftand five or 

 fix hours every Day in his own Dung, moiflen'd 

 with Water *, and knocking down f^ie Heel when 

 he is (hod, that the Sinew may be extended, and fo 

 prevent the fhrinking of the infide of the Hoof, by 

 which the Bleymes are almoft always occafion'd. 



The fecond Sort, befides the ufual Symptoms of 

 the Firft, infedts the Griftle, and muft be extirpated, 

 as in the Cure of a Quitter-bone •, giving the Horfe 

 every Day moiftend Bran, with two Ounces of Liver 

 of Antimony, to divert the courfe of the Humours^ 

 and purifie the Blood. 



The third fort is occafion'd by fmall Stones and 

 Gravel between the Shoe and the Sole. For cure : 

 Pare the Foot, let out the Matter, if there be any, 

 and drefs the Sore like a prick of a Nail. If there is 

 no Matter, take out the bruis'd Sole.
