From thefe Circumftances I think it evident, that 
this Diftemper begins by an Inflammation of the 
Lungs, attended with a Catarrh or Flux of Humours 
from the Note 5 that in the Progrefs of it there 
comes on an Inflammation of the Guts, and a . Purging, 
caufed by an Acrimony and Overflowing of the Gall, 
which ends in Stools tinged with Blood, exciting 
great Pain in the Bowels, and fo, brings on Death. 
Bleeding (in final 1 Quantities) has not been found 
effectual, nor in fhout any of the Remedies yet made 
ufe of ; therefore, having a chief Regard to the ulti- 
mate Effort of Nature, which feems to be to carry 
off the Diftemper by an extraordinary Difcharge of 
Gall, 1 hope the Ufe of Crocus Metallorumt a Me- 
dicine made ufe of with Succefs in Horfes, and a 
great Difcharger of Gall, as I have known its 
good Effe&s in the Jaundice in Men, may beat- 
tended with Succefs: Lhave therefore propofed to 
fome Cow-keepers to. give to ,a Cow, as foon as 
taken ill, one of the following Balls. 
Take Crocus Metallorum half an Ounce* in 
“ Powder; make it into a Ball with Dough or 
“ Crum of Bread moiften'd ; give the Cow a 
“ Draught of Bran and warm Water after it, and 
<c repeat the Draught after every purging Stool.” 
Fdr the Running at the Nofe, I am told, that 
pouring a Pint of warm Vinegar, with an Ounce of 
Salt, intp the Noftrils, has proved fuccefsful in 
making the Cqw fheeze, 4 and ' difeharge a great 
Quantity of thick yellow Mucus , and other Matter, 
from the Nofe, after which the Cow recover d. 
> * L- ‘ * , For 
* Or more, according to the Size and Strength df the Cow ; .or as 
the firft Dole is found to operate. i
