have Plenty of good Feeding, with the Help of fome Re- 

 ftoratives, and a continued Courfe of the Cinnabar Pills, 

 as diredled in the Farcin, to attenuate and open thofe hard 

 Obftrudions ; and thefe will be the mofl likely Means to 

 recover him. 



And this Method ought chiefly to be followed in all im- 

 perfe<fl: Strangles, whether a Horfe be young or old ; only 

 that to young Horfes, Rertoratives will not be neceflary, 

 unlefs he be alfo confumptive. But the Reader may con- 

 fijlt the preceeding Chapter. 



CHAP. XXXI. 



Of the Vives. 



"^ H E Vivei has a very near Affinity to The Vinjes, a 

 ^ the Strangles, and feems chiefly to difter Sv.-ellifig ofths 

 in this, that as the Strangles for the molt ^^J°^^^ 

 Part happens to young Horfes and Colts, ^^'^"'^^' 

 while they are at Grafs, and while they feed with their 

 Heads downwards, the Swelling and Inflammation has 

 therefore the greater Tendency forwards between the Jaws ; 

 but the Vives will happen to a Horfe at any Time, and is 

 more particularly feated in the Glands or Kernels under 

 the Ears. When the Difeafe is violent, all the Parts about 

 the Throat will be inflam'd, and the Paflages of the Wind- 

 pipe and Gullet fo much prefs'd upon, that a Horfe in this 

 Condition being unable to fwallow, of NecefTity leaves his 

 Food ; and that does not proceed from the Imperfection in 

 thofe Parts alone, but alfo from the Violence of the Pain, 

 which affeds the Nerves to fuch a Degree, that all other 

 Sen rations are as it were loft in that. 



The Caufe is chiefly from Cold, and from ^^^^ Caufe 

 all thofe things that induce and bring on a 

 Cold; as riding in the Night-Fogs, when a Horfe has not 

 been ufed to it ; drinking cold Water while he is warm, or 

 fuffering a Horfe to cool too foon aftr^r hard Riding, ^c. 



The Signs are apparent in the outward Swellings, which 

 when the Inflammation is violent, are accompanied with 

 Reftleflhefs, and fometimes with a Fever ; fometimes he 

 lies down, but immediately ftarts up again, being uneafy 

 in every Pofture. Sometimes the Pain is lefs violent, and 

 then he not only lies do-.vn quietly, but v.'ill alfo feed.
