lo HORSE. Clafsl. 



The ftone is a difeafe the horfe is not frequently 

 fubjedl to ; yet we have feen two examples of it, the 

 one in a horfe near High-wycombe^ that voided fixteen 

 €akuli, each of an inch and a half diameter; the other 

 was of a ftone taken out of the bladder of a horfe, 

 and depofited in the cabinet of the late Dr. Mead ; 

 weighing eleven ounces *, Thefe ftones are formed 

 of feveral crufts, each very fmooth and gloffy ; their 

 form triangular; but their edges rounded, as if by 

 collifion againft each other. 



The all-wife Creator hath finely limited the feveral 

 fervices of domeftic animals towards the human race; 

 and ordered that the parts of fuch, which in their 

 lives have been the moft ufeful, (liould after death 

 contribute the lead to our benefit. The chief ufe that 

 the exwvics of the horfe can be applied to, is for col- 

 lars, traces, and other parts of the harnefs ; and thus, 

 even after death, he preferves fome analogy with his 

 former employ. The hair of the mane is of ufe in 

 making wigs ; of the tail in making the bottoms of 

 chairs, floor-cloths, and cords ; and to the angler in 

 making lines.
