Chai?. XXVIII. Of the Glanders, ^c. 99 



All peroral Herbs, as Maiden-hair, Colts-foot, Rocket, 

 Scabious, and the like ; all healing Balfams and Gums, 

 and all the Remedies direded in this and the two preceed- 

 ing Chapters, may be profitably given in Broken-winded, 

 confumptive Cafes. But if your Hcrfe, notwithftanding 

 thefe Helps, turns Poor and Emaciate, low in his Spirits, 

 and addided to fweat, heaves to his Chine, and, with a 

 reduplicated Motion, farts much and often, coughs and 

 rattles, founds hollow, and looks ghaftly, with his Eye- 

 pits fallen, you had better give him to the Crows, than 

 be at the Expence of his keeping, for his future Services 

 will never be anfwerable to it. 



CHAP. XXVIII. 

 Of the Glanders and Mourning of the Chine, 



'npHE Glanders is a Flux or running of corrupt Matter 

 from the Nofe of a Horfe, which is of different Co- 

 lours, white, yellow, green, or black, according to the 

 degree of Malignity, or according as it has been of a long 

 or fhort Continuance. 



Concerning the Nature and Caufe of this Difcharge, 

 Authors have given very ftrange and unintelligible Ac- 

 counts ; fome have afcrib'd it to the Lungs, fome to th-e 

 Spleen, fome to the Liver and Kidneys, and fome to the 

 Brain ; and when it has continued fo long that the Mat- 

 ter becomes of a blackifh Colour, as is ufual in its lait Stage, 

 they have imagined it to come from the Spine ; and from 

 thence have called it the Mourning of the Chine. Mr. 

 8nape^ in his Anatomy, has taken Notice of the Farriers 

 Miftakes concerning this Diftemper ; and altho' there are 

 fome things in his Account of it that are liable to Excep- 

 tion, yet becaufe it is much more rational than any thing 

 that has hitherto been advanc'd upon the Subjed ; and like- 

 wife becaufe the Authority of fo eminent a Farrier may, 

 no doubt, weigh with moft Readers, we fhall therefore give 

 it a Place here.
