^IZ THOUGHTS UPON HUNTING. 



Such of my horfes as are pbylicked at grafs, 

 have two dofes given them when they arc turned 

 out, and three more before +hcy are taken up. — 

 Grafs ph^'^lic is of k) mild a kind, that you will 

 not find tins quantity too much ; nor have I ever 

 k iown an acciden- happen from it, ahhough it has 

 been given in very indifferent weather. I fhould 

 tell ycu, that my horfes are always taken in, the 

 firit liight after their phytic, though the printed 

 dire<SlionSj I believe, do not requiie it. Such 

 horfes as are fail of humours fhould be phyficked 

 at houfe, lince they may require ftronger dofcs 

 than gnifs phylic will admit of, which, I think 

 more proper to prevent humours, than to remove 

 them. The only ufc 1 know in phyficking a 

 horfe that does not appear to want it, is to pre- 

 vent, if poihble, his requiring it at a time whcr^ 

 you cannot fo well fpare him — I mean the hunt- 

 ing feafon : fhould an accident of this kind hap- 

 pen. Stibium's balls, of which I fend you the re- 

 ceipt, will be found of ufe :
