 charge it for fifteen or twenty days, that the 

 gland under the jav/hardens rather thandhninilh- 

 es ; this running is fufpicious and fometimes de- 

 generates into a true glanders •, and therefore, as 

 foon as a horfe is found to be overheated, he mud 

 be blooded, kept to white drink, kept warm, 

 and not worked too much •, but if he continues 

 ill for fifteen or twenty days, he mud be fumigat- 

 ed or injected, as we have mentioned it before. 



The fixth kind of difcharge is the flrangles, 

 which every horfe ought for his health's fake 

 to difcharge. This is a humour which circu- 

 lates in the mafs of blood to a certain age, which 

 nature endeavours to throw off. It dif- 

 charges itfelf in different manners, and that 

 which is leafl fatiguing to the horfe, is when it 

 forms an abfcefs between the jaws without tak- 

 ing its courfe by the nofe : It fometimes is 

 thrown upon different parts, where it produces 

 different effedbs according to the difpofition of 

 thefe parts. For example when it falls upon the 

 throat, all the part is fwelled, the arteries are 

 compreffed, the blood is impeded, an inflam- 

 mation fucceeds, and an abfcefs is formed. 



In order to remedy this evil, the horfe is to 

 . be kept warm, and as foon as the fwelling is 

 perceived, it mufl be dreffed with a proper me- 

 dicine to encourage the fuppuration of the abfcefs, 

 which fometimes breaks of itfelf j but it is more 

 ©ligible not to wait for this, but to open it in
