Chap. XXXVI. Of the T)ry Gripes. 129 



Four Hours after the Operation of this Clyfter, if the 

 Horfe is not very much relieved, the following may be 

 given. 



*' Take Leaves of Mallows and Mar (h- mallows of each 

 *' three handfuls, as above directed, Linfeed and FeiiU- 

 *' greek-feedsof each two Ounces, Coriander- feeds, Cum- 

 *' min-feeds, and Anifeeds, of each two Drams, Bav-ber- 

 *' ries, Cubebs, and Jamaica Pepper, of each one Dram. 

 " Let thefe aUb be boil'd for the Space of half an Hour, or 

 " be infus'd in boiling Water for the fpace of two Hours ; 

 *' and to the Decoction add one Pint of Emetick Wine." 

 Let this be given as the former, and by the Help of thefe, 

 the Adftriction of the Bowels, or the Collivenels, may be 

 remov'd. The Reader may alfo confult that Chapter con- 

 cerning SurfeitSy v^'here there are other Things prefcrib'd, 

 which will alfo be of Service. 



But if the Horfe has, along with his Coftivenefs, violent 

 Cholick Pains, proceeding from Wind and Phlegm ; after 

 the groiler Excrements are difcharg'd, the following Cly- 

 fter may be given. 



" Take Red-rofe Leaves two handfuls, Topsof Centau- 

 " ry the lefs, and Wormv\ ood, of each one handful. Boil 

 *' them in two Quarts of Water to three Pints ; and in the 

 *' Deccclion dillblve two Ounces of Diafcord um, and 

 *' add half a Pint of Treacle-water, or Spirit ofWme. 



This will infallibly take off the Pain, and lie in the Bow- 

 els like a Cordial, without giving him the leaft Motion to 

 dung, but compofe and lull his Spirits, and in a Minute 

 take off the violent Gripes ; if the Pain fhould cha' ce to 

 return, the fame may be repeated ; and, if necei^ary, the 

 Dofe of Diafcordium may be inlarg'd to three Ounces or 

 more j and there is hardly any kind of Chol:ck Pain but 

 what may be carry'd off by it ; and I have, by my own 

 Diredlion, cured Horfes that have been in the greatefl Mi* 

 fery imaginable, and have feen them in a quarter of an 

 Hour rife up to feed, that before were like to dafh out their 

 Brains againft the Walls. 



Cholicksand griping Pains in the Bowels of Horfes become 

 fuddenly mortal ; that without any Regard to other Cir- 

 cumllances, they ought imm.ediately to be remov'd ; and if 

 Coftivenefs happens to continue upon the Ufe of the Re- 

 medies that are prefcrib'd for that Purpole, that Symptom 

 will of Courfe go off in the Sequel of the Cure : For 

 after the moll urgent Symptom.s are remov'd, the next In-
