108 The Farrier'^ Ne^ua Guide, Ch. XXIX. 



Nofe by Fumigation, with Brimftone and the like Com- 

 buftibles, is not to be too often attempted ; becaufe any 

 fuch violent Agitation will be apt to have the like Effed. I 

 fhould therefore, in moft Cafes of this Nature, recommend 

 moderate Exercife while the Horfe has Strength, or the 

 Ufe of Chewing Balls of j^jJIj Fostida, and other feculent 

 ilinking Ingredients ; for ihefe will, for the moft part, 

 purge the Nofe as much as is neceflary ; nor can I'uch a 

 Method eafily be attended with any ill Confequence. 

 Of h CI d r ^^^ ^^ "i^y» no doubt, be expected, 



M comes % ^vhile I am upon this Cure, that I fliould 

 Infeilion. make fome Diftmction between that kmd 



of Glanders which comes by Infection, 

 and that which proceeds only from the common and ufual 

 Caufes ; but as this cannot differ from that otherwife 

 than in fuch Circumftances as may happen in different 

 Conflitutions, the Method of Cure, as to Graierals, muft 

 therefore be the fame. But when the Glanders becomes 

 like a Plague among Horfes, as it fometimes happens, it 

 is then only to be conlider'd as a Symptom and a critical 

 Difcharge, which contributes to the Solution of fome reign- 

 ing Diftemper. And in this Cafe, all thofe Things that 

 we have recommended for the Cure of malignant or pefti- 

 lential Fevers are proper, and ought to be made ufe of in- 

 ternally. 



We (hall conclude with the general Precaution given by 

 all Farriers, and that is, to feparate the found from the un- 

 found, though I believe this formidable Name of Infec- 

 tioufnefs has been chiefly owing to the laft mentioned kind 

 of Glanders, which is epidemical j for I have known glan- 

 der'd Horfes ftand fome Months with thofe that have been 

 found, v/ithout any ill Effedt ; yet I muft needs fay, it 

 would be Pity to run any fuch Hazard with a good Horfe, 

 when it may be fo eafily avoided.
