Breaking of the Kernels or break them, which will be of very 

 Kernels under great Service, as the Swelling in thofe Parts b 

 iheja^'s fame- occafion'd by a Sort of Sympathy, and pro- 

 ti7nes necejfary. ^-^gj^ i^^^^ ^^ ^.^^^ Caufe that brings on the 

 Glanders, and as they mufl therefore conftantly help to feed 

 the Diftemper. But if they cannot be remov'd by emollient 

 or fuppurative Medicines, I fhould think it might conduce 

 very much to the Horfe's Safety to open them with a Caujiicky 

 it being much eafier to heal an Ulcer in thofe Parts than ia 

 the Nofe ; neither can it be attended with fuch bad Confc- 

 quences as when thofe Kernels are extirpated, as is fome- 

 times pradifcd ; becaufe in the Operation fomePart of them 

 is generally left behind, from whence Nature fupplies that 

 Want by new, but imperfedt ones, which are more liable to 

 Swelling and Inflammation than the firft ; fo that inftead 

 of giving Relief, it often makes the Dillemper worfe. 



But if thofe Swellings continue with the other Symp-

 that is glander'd, therefore a Vent to the Humours back- 

 wards, at fo great a Diftance, will, no doubt, be of Service, 

 for by that Means the Blood will be brought to flow more 

 towards the hind Parts than before fuch an Iflue was made, 

 and a Check will be thereby put to the Diftemper.

 made ufe of, and fuch as are of the greateft Efficacy ; and 

 for that Purpofe the Farrier ought to provide a Syringe, 

 with a Pipe that is of a convenient Length. But firft of all 

 it will be neceftary to purge and cleanfe the Horfe's Nofe, 

 by burning Brimftone or Aiiripigmentvjn under it, which 

 may be fent up the Noftriis through the fmall End of a
