BLAINS. 



This is a stoppage of the body, attended with 

 a fever. It hath all the symptons of fever, such 

 as dry nose, cold horns, &c. The body swells, 

 and they make constant efforts to dung, but dis- 

 charge little. 



Cure. — Take aw^ay one quart of blood ; then 

 let some person skilled in the business, put his 

 hand into the creature's body, after it is well 

 greased, and take away the indurated dung ; then 

 such things as are physical must be given. First 

 take one quart of chamber-lye, half a pint of mo- 

 lasses,, with as much hog's lard, let them be sim- 

 ered together, then add a spoonful of gun -powder 

 pounded, let it be put down the creature's throat 

 with a horn. If the fever is not high, Hiera Pi- 

 cra is a good medicine, and the herb thorough- 

 wort made into a strong tea, will often effect a 

 cure. 



FOR ANY POISONOUS THING EATEN. 



^ Take milk, sallad oil and London treacle, 

 mix them together and give it warm. 



TO KILL WORMS. 



Take savine, cut it fine and make it into balls, 

 with fresh butter, to be put down the creature's 

 throat. Or give half an ounce of powdered aloes 

 in a quart of savine tea, 



HORN AIL.

 charged from the nose. The beast that is taken 

 with this disorder will frequently shake his head, 

 and appear to be dizzy. If you wpuld be sure 

 of thi<i disease, take a nail gimblet Jind perforate
