and then injeft the blue Water prefcrib'd in the z\th Chap- 

 ter, to take off Films and Webs from the Eye, for nothing 

 will conduce more to the cleanfing and healing the ulcera- 

 ted Parts. The Water made of the Laph Mirabilis, in 

 the zid Chapter, will alfo conduce very much to the fame 

 Intention ; or the following, which is alfo exceeding pro- 

 per where there is a great Foulnefs. 



" Take a Pint of White wine, one Qiiart of Plantain- 

 " water, two Handfuls of Red-rofe Leaves, half a Dram 

 "of Orpiment, one Dram of Verdegreafe, Myrrh, and 

 ** Aloes, of each a Dram and a half." 



The Rofe Leaves are to be infus'd in the White-wine 

 for the Space of forty eight Hours, and then the Wine to 

 be pour'd off and mix'd with the Plaintain-water, and the 

 Orpiment, Verdegreafe, Myrrh, and Aloes, are to be 

 beat to a line Powder before they are mixt with the In- 

 fufion. 



A fmall Quantity of the Viiguentum Egyptiacum, dif- 

 folv'd before the Fire in a little Oil or Turpentine, may be 

 alfo injected thro' a pretty large Pipe, which will 2Mq be 

 very affififul in cleanfing the ulcerated Parts. 



If your Horfe begins to v/afte, and turns flabby, and fub- 

 jeft to hedick Dilorders, the Method laid down for fuch 

 Cafes is alfo to be foUow'd ; and if the Matter proceeding 

 from the Nofe denotes the Bones to be alfo ulcerated, by 

 its Colour and rank. Smell, you may then very juftly begin 

 to give over Hopes of his doing well, tho' I know there 

 are feveral Farriers who have Allurance enough to boall of 

 curing Horfes in this Condition : However, his Nofe ought 

 to be fyring'd with Brandy, or Spirit ot Wine, and with 

 thofe Things above- recommended, that he may become as 

 little noifome and offenlive as poffible. 



A Tindure drawn from Eiiphorbhim is Forcing Matter 

 extremely ferviceable in all Cafes where /'""^ •■■^^ W^ 

 the Bones are foul and ulcerated ; but yet Zi'^J'' I""/'' 



we cannot recommend its Ufe in Iniedions ; ^° ^"" "^ ,

becaufe when it is given that way, it mult ^^^^^ 



wafte the Parts that are found as well as 



thofe that are putrify'd ; and as it muff be frequently 



ufed before it can produce the defir'd Effefts, it may, no 



doubt, in fo fenfible a Part as the Nofe, by its exceffive 



ftimulating Quality, derives a much greater Influx into 



the Parts, and confequently, he the Caufe of a greater 



Foulnefs i and for the fame Reafon, the cleanfing the 



Nofe
