WARBLES, in animals, a term fometimes appHed to 

 the fmall hard tumours or fwellings on the fides or faddle 

 part of the horfe's back, that are occafioned by heat in 

 travelling, or the uneafinefs of its fituation ; and alfo to the 

 large worms or maggots in the backs of thefe animals, neat 

 cattle, and fome others. It is faid that a hot greafy cloth, 

 at firft frequently applied, will fometimes remove the firft 

 of thefe forts of tumours ; and camphorated fpirit of wine 

 is alw'ays very effeftual for difperfing them, more efpecially 

 if a little fpirit of fal ammoniac be mixed with it. If the 

 houfe ftiould be wanted for work, care (hould be taken to 

 have the faddle nicely chambered and -fitted. In thefe kinds 

 of tumours, efpecially where they are caufed by fandy or 

 gravelly matters infinuating themfelves between the Ikin of 

 the animal and the faddle, or its girths, much may often be 

 done in difperfing them, by applying to the parts fait dif- 

 folved in water, brandy, or warm vinegar, and in fome 

 cafes a mixture compofed of four parts of opodeldoc to one 

 of fpirits of turpentine. 



In all cafes where horfes are returned to the ftables, after 

 long journeys, the faddles fiiould not be removed for fifteen 

 or twenty minutes, the girths being only loofened ; as, by 

 this fimple means, many of thefe fwellings may be prevented, 

 which would othcrwife take place. ^ 



In cafes where the fliin is rubbed off^ the parts, the tinc- 

 ture ufed for wounds, or friar's balfam, may be applied 

 three or four times a day, and the places defended by dia- 

 chylon plafters, with great benefit. 



But in the cafe of real warbles, which are produced from 

 a fly, known by the name of ox or gad-fly, by the pundlur- 

 ing of fmall holes in the backs and fides of thefe different 

 forts of cattle ftock, and there depofiting its ova or eggs, 

 which are fpeedily hatched by the heat of the animal's 

 body, fmall tumours arifing in confequence, which contain 

 grubs, and which have fmall openings in their middle parts, 

 that anfwer as fpiracula, and for calling out the fuperfluous 

 matter, which, if confined, might foon produce confider- 

 able abfcefles, and deftroy the grubs ; other modes of cure 

 or removal are to be had rei:ourie to. With fome it is the 

 praftice to attempt to didodge them, by prelling ftrongly 

 the different fides of the lumps or tumours with the thumb 

 and fingers. But a more ready and certain way of eradi- 

 cating and deftroying fuch grubs is that of pulling off the 

 fcabs, that commonly cover the holes or openings on the 

 tops of the fwellings, and pouring a few drops of the oil of 

 linfeed, in mixture with the fpirits of turpentine and vitriolic 

 acid, into the openings on the parts, or by the ufe of the 

 turpentine alone. 



WARBLING of the Wings, in Falconry, is when a

WARBURTON, William, in Biography, an Englifh

 had finilhed his ordinary grammar education, he was articled, 

 in 1714, to an attorney at Eaft Markham, in Nouingham- 

 iliire ; and when he had completed his clerkihip of five years, 

 he was admitted in one of the courts at Weilminfter ; and 

 returning to Newark, commenced the exerciie of his pro- 

 feffion. But it vras foon found, that his talents and dif- 

 pofition were more adapted to the church than to tlie law ; 

 and, therefore, in 1723, he took deacon's orders. To his
