 is otherwife, Death or Blindnefs may be expected. 



When a Horfe's Eye happens to burft fomewhat out of 

 its Socket, by the Violence of a Blow or Wound ftretching 

 or cutting the Mufcles, the firll Thing to be done is, to re- 

 duce it, and put it carefully in its Place, applying the 

 Charge as above direded ; and after the fame Method of 

 keeping the Horfe's Body cool and open has alfo been 

 comply'd with, and that it begins to matter, it may be 

 drefs'd with the following Digeftivc, viz. 



*"• Take Honey four Ounces, Oil of Rofes one Ounce, 

 f ' and the Yolks of two Eggs, mix them together, by ftir- 

 ** ring them with a Knife, or wooden Slice ; and when 

 *' the Digellive has been made a Rule warm before the 

 *' Fire, dip a Pledgit of Flax into it, and apply it over the 

 *' Eye." This may be done once or twice a Day, and a 

 reitringent Charge conunueu over the Dreffing, until the 

 Cure is ptrform'd, though in reality the Iflue will be very 

 doubtful, if the Mufcles are much relax'd or wounded.

 are boil'd foft, until the worfl Symptoms are gone ; but 

 efpecially in this lalt Cafe, where it is protruded and thruft 

 out of its Socket, for then his Food ought to be only fcald- 

 ed Bran, now and then with a mixture of Oats; becaufe 

 the Adion of the Jaw, in chewing hard Food, would be 

 a great Means to hinder the Cure.
