Of the Ambuiy. 



AN Ambury is a great fpongy Wart full of Blood, 

 with a Root like a Cock's Stone, happen- 

 ing, for the moft part, about the Eye brows, No- 

 lt.rils, or Privy- parts. For cure , Tie a Horfe-hair 

 (which is much better than a Thread) hard about 

 the Wart, and in feven or eight Days 'twill fall off. 

 If the Wart be fo flat that you cannot bind any 

 thing about it, take it away with a fharp hot Iron, 

 cutting it round about, and fo deep as to leave none 

 of the Root behind ; and then dry it up with the 

 Towder of Verdigreafe. In finewy Places, where a 

 hot Iron is improper, eat out the Core with white 

 Sublimate, then Mop the hole with Flax dippM in the 

 White of an Egg for a Day or two \ and at laft dry k 

 up with unflacttd Lime and Honey. 



Of the Cords. 



TH E Cords is a String that runs from the 

 Shackle- Vein to the Griftle in the Nofe aod 

 between the Lip} or two Strings lying betwixt the 

 Knee and the Body, which run through the Body 

 to the Noftrils. making a Horfe to ftumble and falh 

 As for the Cure , fome take the fharp end of a crook- 

 ed Hartfhorn, and putting it under the Cords, twine 

 it ten or twelve times about, till the Horfe be con-^ 

 ftrain'd to lift up his Foot } then they cut the Cord 

 and put a little Salt into the place. Others draw a 

 Pottle of Blood from the Vein thatdefcends on the 

 infide of the Leg, and after fcvcn Days wafh him 

 with Beef Broth. Others again apply a Plaifrer of 

 Mvftard, Aquavit^ and Salkt-Oil boil'd together,
