 cal furgery, well knows that without the aflill- 

 ance ot internals, efpecially in glandular difor-

 ilrong deco6lion of guaiacum chips to be given 

 every day to a quart or three pints throughout 

 the cure, and when the matter leiTens, to purge 

 at proper intervals and put a rowel into the 

 horfe's cheft in order to divert the fluids from 

 their old channel. 



If thele fliould not fucceed, mercurials may 

 be given with the phyfic-, and the alterative 

 powders with lime-water may be taken for a 

 time, if the horfe is worth the expence. Vide

 upon this difeafe and my method of cure have 

 been approved of in England. But I ought to 

 declare that I have lead Mr. Bourgelat, author 

 of a book entitled Elemens d'Hypptatrique into 

 an error, where I fpeak. of the fublingual 

 glands, upon which he has expatiated with a 

 credulity that does me honour, for which he 

 has my thanks \ bur unhappily it was a mif- 

 take in me, for I acknowledged it fince, and re-
