To remedy this Malady, you muft take the Gall of a Bull, and break it into a difh, 

 and add thereto the powder of Aloes Succotrine: Mingle thefe well together, and 

 anoint the Clap or Beak of your Hawk therewith, and the very place where the For- 

 mica grows, twice aday 5 but touch not her Eyes or Nares: continue thus doing till 

 your Hawk be perfectly cured, and bath her with Orpiment and Pepper to keep her 

 from other Vermin. 



Chap. IX. 

 Of the Frownce. 



THe Frownce proceedeth from moift and cold humours which defcend from the" 

 Hawks Head to the Palate and root of the Tongue, by means whereof they 

 lofe their appetite, and cannot clofe their ■■ Clap. This by fome is called 

 the Eagles-bane ■> for ihe feldom dieth of age, but of the over-growing of 

 her Beak. 



You may know if your Hawk be troubled with this Diftemper by opening her 

 Beak, and feeing whether her Tongue be fwoln or no : If it be, lhe hath it. 



There are feveral ways to cure this Diftemper, but the beft that ever yet I could 

 find for it is, only to take the powder of Allum reduced to a Salve with ftrong Wine- 

 vinegar, and waih the Hawks mouth therewith. 



Chap. -X. 



Of the Pip. 



*fcTe Pip frequently troubleth Hawks, as it doth Chickens, and proceedeth 

 from cold and moiftnefsof the Head, or from feeding on grofs meat not well 

 wafht in warm water in the Winter, and cold water in the Summer. 



The Symptoms of this Diftemper are the Hawks frequent Sniting, and making a 

 noife twice or thrice in her Sniting. 



For the Cure hereof, you muft call: your Hawk gently, and look upon the tip of 

 her Tongue, and if you find the Pip there, you muft fcour her with a Pill made of 

 Agarick and Hierapicra given two or three days together with her Cafting at nighty 

 this will cleanfe her Head, and thefoonerif (he be made to tireagainft the Sun in the 

 morning : Then bind a little Cotton to the end of a Stick, and dipping it in good 

 Rofe-water wafti her Tongue therewith : After this anoint it three or four days with 

 Oyl of fweet Almonds and Oyl-Olive well waihed as before faid.Having fo done,you 

 will find the Pip all white and foft: Then take an Awl, and with the Point thereof 

 lift up the Pip ioftly, and remove it, as women pip their Chickens, but remove it not 

 till it be throughly ripe 5 and wet her Tongue and Palate twice or thrice a day with? 

 the aforefaid Oyl, till ihe be throughly cured. 



Chap. XL 

 Mow to remedy that Hawk which endeweth not, norputteth oyer as [he ftottld do. 



THis happens either by being foul within, or by a Surfeit 5 or elfe when (he was 

 low and poor her Keeper over-gorged her, by being too hafty to fet her up, 

 and (he being weak was not able to put over and endevp, and furfeited 

 thereupon. 



The Cure whereof is this : You muft feed her with light meats, and a little at once, 

 as with young Rats and Mice, Chickens or Mutton, dipt in Goats milk or otherwife 5 

 or give her a quarter of a Gorge of the Yolk of an Egg. 



If you feed her with the flefh of any living Fowl, firft fteep it well in the bloud 

 of the fame Fowl, fo (hall your Hawk mount her fleih apace 3 if you alfo fcour her
