Water run? from the Eyes, and a yellowifli Matter diftils 

 from the Nole, and fometimcs from the Mouth alio, being 

 fometimes ropy and mix'd with Blood ; the Eyes are like- 

 wile inflam'd, and^ clammy Sweat hang,s on his Ears. 

 q-j f . As to the Cure, becauTe this Diftemper 



for the mojt part proves mortal, and that 

 of a fudoen, procecdi;ig from an Over-diftention of the 

 fmall Blood- vtilcls of the Biain, caufing Apopledick Dif- 

 orders ; therefore the Neck-vein niuft immediately be 

 opened, and Toon after a Clyfter is to be ndminifter'd, and 

 fuch an one as \\\\\ be of Tome Efficacy ; for which Purpofe 

 \\'c recommend the following. 



" Take of Marfli- mallows two handfuls. Rue one hand- 

 *' ful, one bitter Apple, boil them in five Pints of W^ater 

 *■'■ to two quarts; mix with the Decoclion two Ounces of 

 *' the Powder, or Species called J:Iicra Picra^ with four 

 *' Ounces of Oil, or Hog's-Jard. 



This may be once or twice repeated ; but if the morbi- 

 fick Matter happens to be ca(t out by Impollumation upon 

 any Pa: t that is fa'^e, the Ufe of Clyfters may then be laid 

 afide, unkfs the OpprefTion and the other bad Symptoms 

 continue, and that there are not to be feen in the Horle's 

 Pifs the Appearances of a Change and Solution of the Dif- 

 eafe ; in tliis Cafe milder Clyfters, fuch as may be made 

 of Broth, or Waier-g:uc], with three or four Ounces of 

 common Treacle, may be of no fmall Service, as they will 

 be the Means to lefien that Oppreflion. 



But befides thele Evacuations, there muft be a conftant 

 Ufe of Internal (for fuch are very much requii'd in all Pe- 

 ftilential Difeafes) and for this Intention the moll powerful 

 Counter- poifons are efteemed the moft proper, fuch as 

 Venue-Treacle, Mithridate, London- Treacle, Pills or Pow- 

 ders made of the Roots of Gentian, W'hite Dittany, Biftort, 

 Tormentil, Virginia Snake Root, Zedoary, Contrayerva^ 

 and the like J but thofe things not being always in readinefs, 

 I fliall therefore take another Opportunity to give fome 

 Direc'tions concerning their Preparation ; and therefore 

 ■we fhall in the mean while content ourfelves with fuch 

 Things as may be had at any Time. 



*' Take the ciftill'd Waters of Carduus, Q^ieen of the 

 *' Meadows, Water Germander, and Marigolds, of each a 

 *•'' quart, or inflead of the diftiU'd Waters, take a laige' 

 *' handfi.I of each of thcfc, in fufe them in four quarts of 

 ** boiling "Water. Give your Horfe two Puus ot thisln- 



" fulioa
