the fame Effedls as any other internal wafting Ulcer : And 

 in the other cafe, where the Liver is fchirrous and hard, 

 thefe Obftrudions mull alfo be difficult, becaufe they lie 

 our of the Reach of manual Operation, and alfo of exter- 

 nal Applications. 



ne Cure ^"^ '" ^^^ Cure, we fhall begin with its firft 



Stage, when we only fuppofe theGall-pailhges 

 obftrufled,as above-mentioned ; and to remove thole. Pur- 

 ging muft in the firft place be necefiiuy, with thofe Things 

 that are moderately opening ; for unlefs there be Pain and 

 Infl^.mmalion in the Liver, Bleeding will do but little Ser- 

 vice ; however it is much in Vogue in fuch Cafes. 



Therefore let the following Infufion be made, viz. 



" Take of 5^/?^ one Ounce, Madder-roots and Turme- 

 *' rick of each half an Ounce, the Leaves of Strawberries, 

 " Mallows and Marfli-mallows, of each an handful, Salt 

 " of Tartar three Drams." Let them be infuled in three 

 Pints of boiling Water all Night, and in the Morning let it 

 be given with the ufual Precautions. This Infuiion will 

 juft keep the Horfe's Body open, and may therefore be re- 

 peated four or five days fucceflively.

 times with an Ounce or ten Drams of the beft Aloes, and 

 half an Ounce of Turmerick made into a Ball, which to a

 have now and then a little fcalded Bran, and fometimes boil'd 

 Barley to eat, and his Water may haveconftantly Barley and 

 Liquorice boil'd in it ; and a Dofe of the following Powder 

 may be every Day given for a Fortnight or three Weeks 

 together, unlefs the Purging alone remove the Diftemper, 

 as it fometimes happens in the Beginning. 



" Take of the Roots of Madder and Turmerick of each 

 " half a Pound, Earth-worms dry'd in the Sun, or in an O- 

 " ven that rs moderately heated, and A^Iyrrh, of each four 

 •"* Ounces, Shavings of Harifliorn or Ivory, and crude Tar- 

 *' tar, of each two Ounces, crude Antimony fix Oi!nce?,the 

 *' beft Saffron and Cinnamon, of each two Drams. Letall 

 thefe be made into a fine Powder, and give your Hoife every 

 Klornirg two Ounces in a fufricient quantity oiVenue-trea- 

 c!e to make it into a ftiff Pafte, leiting him at the fame time 

 drink a little White- water or Barley-water to wafh it down.
