CHAP. XLII. 



Of the T>ifeafesofthe Reins or Kidneys, &c. 



"IT/'E find in the Books of Farriers, an Account of all the 

 *'^ Difeafes of the Reins and Bladder, tho' there are but 

 few who have delivered them in any regular Order ; and 

 indeed, fome of them, as the Stone in the Bladder, ^c. are

 or Stoppage of Water caufed by Coftivenefs, has already 

 been difcuis'd under that Head ; and as it is not to be accoun- 

 ted a Difeafe in thofe Parts, but only a Symptom of another 

 Difeafe, and is removed as foon as that ceafes ; we fnall 

 therefore, in the enfuing Chapter, only conlider a Stoppage 

 <QX Painpifs in the latter Senfe, when the Difeafe is coniin'd 

 to the Reins and Pailages of the Urine.

 ceeds from another Caufe, it is moft likely to be occafion'd 

 eiiher by an Infiammauon of the Bladder, or an Ulcer in the 



Kidneys j
