Chap. X. Of a HeBich Feverl 45 



ihis, as Heat, Drynefs of the Mouth and Tongue, ard few 

 or no intermiflions of the D ilea fe, excepting after Fcca:ng, 

 that the Fever is a little more rais'd, anu t^'cit Spirits more 

 adive than at other Times ; yet the lealt Exercifs brings 

 them again to their dejedted State, and the Work is fcarcely 

 able to move, but looks tired and jaded, as if he had under-!- 

 gone fome violent E'xercife ; his Flefli becomes flabby, and 

 ■while he ftands in the Stable, he breaks out into frequent 

 and repeated Sweats, which ftill add to the Decays of Na- 

 ture, and confequently adminiller to this fharp and lingring 

 Fever. If the Difeafe be accompanied with an internal 

 Ulcer, ot any Kind whatfoever, it may be diftinguifhed by- 

 its Extremes ; for where ever there is an internal Ulcer, 

 it will be fometimes choaked up by Inflammation ; and 

 until a frefh Difcharge be made, or that the Blood, by a 

 more free and eafy Perfpiration has Room to difperfe itfelf 

 into its proper Channels, the Horle will difcover Signs of 

 violent Pain in ibme particular Part, with a more than or- 

 dinary Augmentation of the Fever. But of this more par- 

 ticularly in another Place ; for here we fuppofe the inward 

 Part, if at all, to be but ilighrly touch'd. 



The Cure conlifts in a due Adminiftration cri^ r 

 of all thofe things that are proper to recover 

 Nature ; and whatever does that, will by Degrees remove 

 the Dillemper, and it mull therefore be a very good Token 

 of Recovery, when a Horfe improves and mends upon an 

 Augmentation of his Feeding ; whereas the contrary will 

 always be of bad Prognoltication. 



But what is more particularly to be done in this Cafe, 

 conlifts, lirft of all, in the difpenfing of fuch things as are 

 proper to abate the Heat and feverifh Symptoms ; for 

 which Purpofe, Recourfe may be had in thofe Helps, which 

 have already been given for the Removal of a fimple and 

 legitimate Fever, only with this Caution, That Bleeding 

 is not altogether fafe, but when there is a Sufpicion of Pain 

 and Inflammation in the Lungs, or otlier internal Parts, 

 which is dilcoverable by an Oppreffion, and unufual heav- 

 ing of the Flanks, ^c. Neither are Cly Iters profitable 

 here, but will rather prove hurtful, unlefs when the Symp- 

 toms are increas'd by an over- great Coftivenefs ; and in 

 fuch a Cafe, thofe of the moft eafy and mild Operation 

 are only to be exhibited.
