IN this fmall Tra<ft is delivered out of the beft Writers of 
this Subjeft, and the Author his own practice and obferva- 
tions, the Nature, Qualities, and Ufes of the Stagg. In it is 
particularly coafidered the Longevity of this Animal, and its 
caufe conje&ured at, viz. the plenty of a Balfamick preferva- 
tive Salt, with which 'tis faid Nature hath ftored this above 
many other Animals : Then the fucceffive growth and an- 
nual cafting off of its horns, together with the caufes there- 
of, is examined, viz. its fuperabundance of Salin Juyce pro- 
truded, and then condenfed by the Air ( witnefs the great 
plenty of volatil Salt-, that may be obtained out of thofe 
Homes, as well as out of the bloud and urine of the Stagg:) 
which matter being continually furniflied from the body 
of the Animal, and pafling unceffantly to the head, force th 
away the old horns,and yearly fubftitutes new in their room. 
But the Author chiefly and largely infifts on the fevera! ufes 
of the parts of a Stagg, which he finds to be very many, and of 
divers kinds^i^.Ornamental, Mechanical,Culinary and Medi- 
cinal. Among the Culinary, he, commends the young downy 
horns for a very delicious difli.ufed by the Grandees. And, as to 
the Medicinal, he enumerated a vaft number of them, efpecinl.iy 
of the volatile Salt, Spirit, Oyle, Magiftery, made of the feveral 
parts of the Stagg^ where he inferts the particular ufes of the
