HOrfes are fometimes liable to Pains in the 

 Head, occafion'd by extream Heat or Cold, 

 Blows, or noifome Smells. The Signs are, hanging 

 down of the Head, dropping of his Urine, dim- 

 nefs of Sight, fwollen and wateiilh Eyes. For cure % 

 make him fneeze by Fumigation-, then let him 

 blood in the Palate, keeping him falling fourteen. 

 Hours after. This done, fpurt into his Noftrils 

 Wine, in which Euphorbium and Frmkincenfe have 

 Been boil'd. Others advife to let him blood three 

 Mornings together, then walk him a while; and 

 after that cloath him, and cover his Temples with 

 a Plaifter of Pitch. Let him eat but Jittle, and ftand 

 in a dark Stable. 



Of an Apoplexy or Palfie. 



Sometimes a Horfe will be fo taken, either in the 

 Neck, that he cannot put his Head down to 

 the Ground, or in the After- parts, that he cannot 

 rife, the Sinews of his Flank being palpably hard. 

 For Cure ; anoint his Neck with Oil of Peter, dry- 

 ing it in with a hot Iron, and then wind a little 

 loofely about his Neck, from his Shoulders to his 

 Ears, a Thumb band of the longed hotteft Dunghil- 

 Litter. If the Malady lies in the After- parts, lay 

 him upon the Litter of a hot reeking Muckhil, after 

 the Parts are anointed, and lay a Cloth over that to 

 keep it on, renewing it four times a Day.
