Take a quart of the best Sack and burn it with Grains Cloves and Cinnamon and a quarte● of a pound of the best Sug●r and burn it altogether with half a pint of Sallet-Oyl and Four pennyworth of the bes● Trea●le then ride him very gently till he begin to sweat and so turn him into the Stable and let him stand ●●● Meats but beware you do for him there according t● your direction and be sure you cloath him not too warin● for the Drink will throughly warm him and make hi● sweat let his drink be warm water wherein boyl Mallow● and a handful of Water-Cresses of Fennel and Parsly-seed o● each an Ounce and twice in a Morning or Evening whe● he is most fasting ride him gently a mile or two Of a Horse that cannot Piss Take a Pint of white Vinegar half a pound of Gimgree● bruise it small and wring out the Juice take a handful ● Fennel a handful of Fox-Gloves the Leaves or the Flower● two ounces of Grommel-seed and half a pint of sweet Honey stamp them well together and strain them into Vinegar le● him stand without Meat and Drink Twenty four hours Of the Pains in the Head Take a Pint of Malmsey Five new laid Eggs a head of bruised Garlick small Pepper Cinnamon and Nu●megs beaten fine give it him to drink three days together and let him fast five hours after To bring Hair again To bring Hair again take the Dung of Goats some Honey and Allum and the blood of a Hog boyl them together and being hot rub the place therewith Of the Stone and Cholick in a Horse Take a Pint of White Wine half a Pint of Burr-seed and beat them small two ounces of Purs●y-seed half a handful of Hop half a handful of new-set ●eeks and ha●● a handful of Water-Cresses half an ounce of Black-Soap and mingle them together stamp and strain them but put the Burr-seed and Parsley-seed to it after it is strained and then warm it and give it him to drink Of killing the Fire either in Burning or Shot Take Varnish or Oyl and Water beaten together and ●noint the place with

or so much Butter an ounce of Benedick Luxature and pour it into his Fundament with a little Horn and hold his Tail close to his Fundament whilst another doth lead him and so keep it in him as long as you can and after keep him warm and give him warm Water to drink All these Infirmities are cured by the Whey only contained in this following Medicine The Bloody-Rifts the Bladders the Lampus all Mouth-Cankers all Hurts in the Mouth The Tongue-hurt the Paps the Tooth-ach the Shedding of Hair the Fetter-worm Take of New-Milk three quarts a good handful of Plantain let it boil till a full pint be consumed then take six ounces of Allum and an ounce and a half of White-Sugar-candy both being made in a very fine Powder six spoonfuls of strong Wine-Vinegar and put them into the Milk then let it boyl a little till it have a hard Curd then drain it and save the Whey wherewith you shall first bathe the Sore the Whey being warm then with a clean Cloth dry the Sore and apply this Salve to it Take of Turpentine Yellow-wax and Hogs-grease ground to a fine Powder and ounce and a half mix all these together on a soft Fire and then put it in a Gally-pot and let it cool but in case where the Bruise is not broken nor is likely to break you must apply another Medicine which I shall hereafter acquaint you with For the Yellows The Cause hereof is also the abundance of bad Humors the Cure is plain let him Blood if you see it yellow a Pottle then give him a quart of White-Wine of Saffron and Fenugreek of each half an ounce and the juice that is wrung out of two handfuls of Selandine and being Blood-warm give it him and keep him warm and with good Mashes wherein put two spoonfuls of the Powder of Brimstone some will give in this drink the green ordure of Ge●se strained For the Surfeiting and Foundring of the Body The Cause of this Disease is over-much eating after Labour whilst the Horse is hot whereby his meat not being digested breedeth evil Humors which by little and little do spread through all the parts of the Body and at length oppress the whole Body and so do take away his Strength that he hath not power to go or move his Joints and being laid is not able to rise whereby he wanteth the use of pissing as also of dunging Nature being overcome then doth the Humour rule the body to the destruction of it In like manner it is when the Horse being over hot with Travel drinketh so much as the Cold thereof suppresseth his natural Heat the Cause is that the evil Humours being predominant according to their Nature being heavy and moist immediately fall down into the Horse's Legs and Feet and there rest which if not prevented will make great gordy Limbs as the Pains Cratches Spavins Wind-galls casting of the Hoofs and such like The Cure hereof must be according to your Effects that are wrought in the Horse if it be perceived as when the Hair beginneth to stare that he will be chill and shrug for Cold forsake his Meat hang down his Head quiver after cold Water and after two or three days begin to cough which is a sign that his surfeit is not great and that he may be thus cured Cover his Belly with the Glister last mentioned and give him this Drink Take of Malmsey a quart of Sugar half a quatern of Cinamon half an ounce of Liquorice and Aniseeds of each two spoonfuls beaten into ●●ne Powder put into it Malmsey and give it him Blood-warm keep him warm let him drink nothing but warm water four or five days after let him Blood For the Collick The Cause of this Disease is twofold either it proceeds from abundance of Humours or of Wind and although it be Wind yet I judge the Original to be an Obstruction of Humours which will not suffer the Wind to have its free passage which otherwise Nature would expel as his Enemy The Cures may be divers and because it is a Disease that few Farriers understand I will set down several Cures that if one thing cannot be speedily procured another may First it may be an Obstruction for that the Horse hath the stone and cannot stale for this take a quart of White-Wine half a pint of Bur-seed beaten small two ounces of Parsly-seed of Smallage Saxafrage the Roots of Philapendula Gromwel-seed and Broom-seed of each two ounces beaten to fine Powder a good handful of Water-Cresses and lay them in steep all Night and in the Morning strain them clean and put into it a little Black-Soap and a little Butter and ride him until that he begin to sweat then set him in a Stable with a great quantity of sweet Litter under him and cloath him warm and so let him stand Meatl●ss seven or eight hours then give him dried Oats and warm Water with a quantity of Sallet-Oyl to drink and before he have this Drink let him fast all Night Another Cure for the same Take a pound of Malmsey of Cloves Pepper Cinamon of each an ounce of Sugar half a quartern and give it the Horse lukewarm and Labour him upon it an hour that be dung and stale keep him to warm Water but if he be a stoned Horse there is not any better thing than for him to have his full desire with a Mare Another for the same If you think that it proceeds chiefly from Wind it may be so occasioned when he is ridden hot and set up cold he will pine away and forsake his Meat keep him empty all Night in the Morning take a quart of White-Wine four ounces of Fenugreek seven ounces of Bayes as much Cor● Pepper an ounce of Grains an ounce of Ginger two handfuls of Water-Cresses a handful of Sage a pound of Sea-green and wring out the Juice Another of Mint stamp them and put them into a pint of White-Wine and let them stand on the fire till they boyl strain them out and give it him Blood-warm with a little Honey For Surfeiting with Provender When a Horse hath eaten more than his stomack can well digest he is in such pain as that he is not able to stand but lyeth and walloweth as if he had the Bots the danger whereof I have written The Cure is to let him Blood and to draw his Yard and wash it put a piece of a Clove of Garlick into it to make him piss also to rake him behind and give him a glister with the Water of Sodden-Mallows Fresh-Butter and Sallet-Oyl keep him harm and let him eat very little for four or five days These Infirmities are cured by the following Medicine All Convulsion of Sinnews all Cramps whatsoever your Neck-crick the Shoulder-Splat all swelled Legs the Over-reach of the Back-Sirew all Wind-Galls Wrenches in the nether J●in●s all Bruises unbroke all Strains whatsoever Take strong Vinegar or Patch-grease or Peece-grease of each a like quantity

pound of black Soap and boyl them together till they look like Tar and anoint and rub all his Body therewith so as that it may drink it in then Cloath him and stuff his Head and Neck close and all the parts of his Body to bring him into a great Sweat give him a pint of White-wine two ounces of Alloes and half an ounce of Agarick infused therein beaten small putting therein three spoonfuls of clarified Hogs-grease and if that will not do give him every day a Glister keep him warm and well rubbed then give him small Ale to drink wherein Mallows and Liquorish have been boiled let his Diet be small but sweet and good For a cold in the Head The cause hereof proceeds from some Heat or standing too much still or from having some Air piercing his Head when he is hot or from some Humours congealed after long Rest and full Feeding or through his wanting of moderate Exercise to expell the same The Signs are a continual distilling Rheum waterish Eyes or his short drawing of Breath at the Nostrils when the Canes and the Passages of the Breath are stopped The Cure is Put upon his Head a double Hood and every Morning when he is Fasting ride him take two Goose Feathers dipp'd in Oyl of Bay and thrust them up into his Nostrils through the ends whereof with a Needle put two Threads to fasten the same to the Head-stall so as the Feathers cannot fall out and to the Snaffle or Bit that he is ridden with fasten a root or two of Polypodium of the Oak which hath been steeped all Night in Spike Oyl and every time you ride him anoint the same with the said Oyl and when he cometh home put on his Head the double Hood and Perfume him hot with Frankincense casting a Cloath over his Head Use him thus nine days together and give him warm Water or good Mashes during the said nine days for all Rheums having continuance are dangerous and many times having continuance Remediless and leave behind them a worse Disease than themselves These Infirmities are cured by the Medicine following The Poll-Evil The swelling after Blood-letting The Weathers hurt galled Backs Sit-fasts The Navel-Gall Fistula's Biteing with Venomous Beasts or Worms For any of these filthy Impostumations Galls or Swellings you may take the Earth-loam of a Mud-wall which hath no Lime in it but only Earth Straw or Litter and you shall boil it in strong Wine-Vinegar till it become very thick like a Poultess then being very hot apply it to the Sore renewing it once in Twelve or Twenty four hours and it will not only ripen and break it but also Draw it Search it and Heal it most perfectly as Experience will manifest For the Glaunders The original cause of this Disease is the Rheum which being an aboundant Moisture and naturally very cold at length congealeth according to the nature of Cold and then proceedeth to Kernels and so to Inflamations which become so great in the end that they seem to strangle and stop the breath of the Horse from whence he is said to have the Strangles and by continuance of time the same perish either the Liver or the Lungs by a continual distilling of putrify'd and corrupt Matter The Signs are apparent to every Man that hath Sight and the diversity or Medicines infinite The beginning always of this Disease is taking of Cold after too much Heat the which cannot be avoided from a Horse that hath full Feeding and great Rest more especially if his Diet be naught or by the use of continual Travel upon a full Stomach or before his Body be made clean after long rest for the standing Pool is ever Muddy The Cure is First Clear his Head as is prescribed for the Cold of the Head in every part if he be able to be Rid or Walked that he may receive Breath then give him this Drink Take a pint of Malmsey and six penny-worth of the best Treacle and a quarter of a pint of sweet fresh Butter then presently rub him under the Jaws with plenty of Hogs Grease and leave it thick anointed then make him this Poultis Take two handfuls of Mallows a handful of Wormwood as much Rue and as much Smallage a quart of Wheat-bran and a quart of Hogs-grease boil them together and stir them continually in the boiling untill the Hogs-grease be almost consumed and being as hot as may be suffered bind it under his Jaws and Thropel and wrap all his Head very warm leaving Air for his Mouth and Nostrils then Air him again with Frankincense and keep him warm in the Stable and so let him rest with that Poultis twenty four hours The next Morning give him a quart of the best New-Ale with a spoonful of the Powder of Liquorish and Aniseeds and a good piece of Butter blood warm then rub his Nostrils with a clout bound to the end of the Stick well anointed with Oyl of Bay and Butter then remove the Poultis and if you find the Kernels and Inflammation to be very soft Lance them through and stop the holes full of Hogs-grease and Turpentine boiled hot together and soft Tow boiled therein then warm some of your Poultis and bind it on as before but not altogether so hot and so let it remain untill the next day How to order the Horse after this for a perfect Cure Keep his Head warm as before If he will eat give him clean sweet Oats steeped in New-Ale or Maimsey if he will eat them and Wheat straw but no Hay Give him no cold Water for nine days but good Mashes if he will take them Keep him in a spare Diet and every day g●ntly walk or ride him if he be able then keep him warm after it and if it be possible let him sweat every day a little and after rub him very dry and let him not drink in his sweat In his Provender Take of the root of white Lilly of the root of Enula Campana and of the root of Polypodium of the Oak very finely cut or chopped the quantity of two Spoonfuls every Morning that you give him Provender and be sure that he be hungry and eager of Provender when you give it him and so continue for Nine days and besure that you keep him very hungry and as hath been said with spare Diet. At the Nine days end give him his purging Drink Take a quart of White-Wine or of strong Alewort an ounce and an half of Alloes beaten into Powder half an ounce of Agarick two spoonfuls of the Powder of the Root of Enula Campana three spoonfuls of Honey brew them well together give it him blood-warm and keep him warm Within six days after let him blood and if it be good take but a quart but if very bad take two quarts at least After this use him both in Feeding and Labour moderately and he will afterwards be in perfect Health The Mourning of the Chine its Cause and

Distempers and Require col● and moist Medicines for those of a hot or drying quality are very hurtfull These Horses are very strong though they appear no● so and consequently are fit for fervile Labours and when you find a Horse mixed with many or all of these Colours then he little or more as the Colours are more or less on him of one or the other kind participates of th● Humours and Medicines must be temper'd accordingly as also to the Nature of the Sickness if it has continu'd ●ong and he is enfeebled thereby then you must not give him over strong Potions but more of Medicines hereafter How to prepare a Horse to receive Medicines if any Distemper has seiz'd him Observe twenty four hours before you intend to administer the Medicine whether Powder Pills or Drench composed of Simples c. that you restrain him from eat●ng Hay or Straw or any hard Meats that admit not of easie Digesture thereby to hinder the Operation of the Physick and for twelve hours before keep him fasting for the Emptiness of Stomach gives a free Operation to any Purge when Fulness hinders greatly the working of any Medicine much obstructing it and thereby frequently injuring the Horse by turning the force of it on the Vitals The safest Meat to prepare him is either Rye or Wheat Bran mix'd with white split Beans Wheat flower mix'd with white Oats and his Drink warm Water into which dust a little fine Bran. What Purgations with the least Danger may be given to a Horse The most Effectual and gentlest Purgations are Pills but it must be consider'd as is said according to the state of the Horse's Body And for Example to make the gentlest Pill against Pestilential or Infectious Diseases Peel twenty Cloves of Garlick bruise and well temper them with a pound of fresh-Butter Roll them up in balls as big as Walnuts give four or five of them one soon after another and if the Contagion have not seiz'd the Heart Brain or Liver it will work it out Approved Rules to be observ'd by such as either Travel or Exercise Horses for want of the due Observation whereof many excellent Horses have been lost though hereby they may be kept from Sickness First when your Horse is lusty pleasant and clear in ●ody then he is fit for Labour or any Exercise but if he be sad heavy or dejected in Countenance do not Labour him until you have found the Cause and removed it Secondly let not your Horse eat any thing for two or three hours before you travel him and then not much until you come to your Lodging for baiting at Noon is naught and hurtful except you rest four or five hours so as that he may not travel upon a full Stomach and let his Bit be small and be sure he never wear a rusty Bit or Snaffle for fear of the Canker Thirdly let your Travel be moderate except necessity which cannot be limited enforce it then be sure not to let your Horse either eat or drink until he be very cold and if it be in Winter-time be sure to cloath his Head and Breast very warm after your Travel and every Morning either squirt a little Vinegar into his Nostrils or else rub them with Oyl of Bay with a Cloath nointed therewith fastned to the end of a Stick and thrust up and down him Nostrils to purge his Head Fourthly neither wash nor Water your Horse especially in the Winter-time for when he is very hot to walk him in the cold Air is dangerous and washing is a speedy Preparative to bring him to some dangerous Disease for there is no desperate Disease incident to a Horse but the fame proceeds from the Causes of too much Heat or Cold and none more dangerous then this Fiftly when you travel alight often from your Horse if Cause of Necesity enforce not the contrary and lead him to some place of Grass Straw or Brakes and there stay and whistle until your Horse Piss which he will hardly do except it be in such places because the sprinkling of his Water will scald his Legs Sixthly if your Horse be very hot let him not drink cold Water but rather at some House give him a quart of good Beer or a pint of Wine and if you do Water him by the way let him not drink until he have washed his Mouth which is done when he thrusteth his Head into the Water presently pull up his Head which will cleanse his Mouth and if you are forced to let him drink ride him so that he may be sure to keep the same Heat he was in before Seventhly After his Labour if you can have a convenient place let him wallow himself for it is no less delightful then comfortable to his Body Eightly If he happen to fall sick in your Travel which proceeds commonly either from eat●ng or drinking too much at a time or otherwise give him a pint of Sack or Malmsey a quarter of a pint of Aqua-●ita with six penny worth of the best Treacle and a quar●er of a pint of the best Olive-Oil brew them well toge●her and give him a draught and then take a new laid Egg and pull out his Tongue bruise the Shell and thrust ●t into his Throat and then let go his Tongue do this ●wice then let him blood in the Pallet of his Mouth and ●ub it well with Salt and afterwards order him as he should ●e in the Stable Another Excellent way to the like purpose If you cannot get Sack-Wine or Treacle give him a ●int of Aqua-Vita or any other comfortable Water with ●wo Eggs in the form aforesaid to comfort his Heart ●irst at night give him a good comfortable Mash if he ●ill eat it and clean sweet Provender such as he will eat ●athe his Legs with Butter and Beer cleanse his Feet and ●op them with Caw-dung and after he is sufficiently fed ●●ve him plenty of Sweet Litter shut him dark in the Sta●e and early in the Morning let him be throughly dressed ●●d rubbed and before you ride two hours let him eat ●●lf a Peck of old sweet Oats with a pint of the strongest ●le Beer Malmsey or White-Wine for his Breakfast ●●condly If your Horse be young that you do travel ●●on which is the Overthrow of all fine mettled Horses ●●en you come home and may let him rest then let him ●ke his Ease and bleed and if you find his Blood hot ●●d dark coloured spare not to let him bleed until there ●●me perfect Blood after three or four days keep him ●th god Mashes and give him the purging Drink be●●●e mentioned with a pint of White-Wine an ounce of ●es dissolved into powder half an ounce of Agarick ●● a spoonful of the Powder of Liquorice made blood-●●m and well brewed together and let him not drink ●● Water for four or five days after and in his Provender put the Powder of Brimstone Enula Campana and Polipodium of the Oak well mingled together

from any cold Cause or from any riding and too sudden cooling or from washing when he was hot or such like then you shall give the same quantity of Diapente and Honey in Sack or other hot Wine in the manner aforesaid But if his Sickness be less contagious or that Wine is not ready to be had then you shall give the same quantity of the Powder and Honey either in a quart of strong Ale or a quart of strong Beer observing all the Instructions formerly declared Now for as much as this Powder of Diapente may be be many times wanting or at least hard to be got on the sudden as we have formerly said therefore in case of such Extremity you shall take a good handful of Celandine Roots Leafs and all and having pick'd and cleansed them you shall take of Wormwood and Rue of each half a handful boil these in a pot of strong Ale or Beer till the full half be consumed then strain it and dress the Herbs and dissolve into the drink half a pound of Sweet Butter and an ounce and a half of the best Treacle being no more but lukewarm give it the Horse to drink in the Morning fasting and walk him an hour after then set him up warm and let him fast another hour then give him meats as aforesaid And do this divers Mornings according to the greatness of his Sickness Now for this Cure you must by no means forget to let the Horse blood in the Neck-Vein an hour or two before you give him the first drink and let him bleed till you see the corrupt Blood change and begin to look pure to know which you shall save the first Blood and the last Blood in two Sawcers and as they cool they will easily shew you the difference Now if your Horse happen to fall suddenly Sick upon you as you travel when there is no Town nor Help near you then you shall presently alight from his Back and with a sharp pointed Knife or Bodkin or for want of both with a sharp-pointed strong Tag you shall let him Blood in the Roo● of the Mouth amongst the Bars somewhat near to his uppermost Teeth and make him bleed well walking him forward and suffering him to champ and eat his own Blood which is very wholsome for him at that time and almost a present cure Now if the Blood stanch of it self as commonly it will then you shall presently piss in his Mouth and so ride him with all Gentleness and Ease homeward and being set up warm wash his Mouth and Nostrils with Vinegar and the next Morning let him Blood in the Neck-Vein and give him either of the Drenches before prescribed and no doubt but you may hold on your Journey without danger Now if in the pricking of the Mouth you either stick your knife too deep or else cut the Vein asunder whereby you cannot stanch the Blood as many times it happeneth in this case you shall put some big round piece of Wood into the Horse's Mouth to keep him from biting and then take a little of the fine Down of a Hare's Skin or Cony-Skin or for want of them the fine Lint of any Woollen or Linnen cioth and hold it hard to the Wound and it will stanch it such care being taken as that it be not to be lick'd away with the Horse's Tongue For the Malender This is a Scab growing in the form of Lines or Streaks over the Bend of the Knee in the inside of the Leg. The cure is wash it with warm Water and shave the Scab clean away then take a spoonful of Soap as much Lime and make it into a paste and spread as much on a Clout as will cover the Sore bind it fast renewing it every day for three days together then anoint the same with Oyl of Roses to cause the Crust to fall away and then wash it with Urine and strow on the powder of Oyster-shells Another of the same Take a Barrel'd Herring with a soft Row and two spoonfuls of Black-Soap half an ounce of Allum and bruise them together and lay it to the Sore three days Of the Splint This Soreness is known to most Men The Cure is Wash it with warm Water and shave off the Hair and lightly scarify all the sore place with a point of a Razor so as that the Blood may issue forth then take of Cantharides half a spoonful and of Euforbium as much beaten into fine powder and mingle them together with a spoonful of Oyl de Bay and then melt them in a little pan stirring them well together so that they may not boil over and being so boiling-hot take two or three Feathers anoint all the sore places therewith and let not the Horse remove from the place for two hours after Afterwards carry him away and tye him so that he cannot touch the Medicine with his Lips and also let him stand without Litter that day and a night and within two or three days after anoint the Sore with Butter for nine days Another for the same Take an Onion and pick out the Core and put therein a spoonful of unslack'd Lime and four penny weight of Verdegrease and half a pound of Lavender-seed and rost the Onion until it be soft and then cut the Skin a little that the Medicine may enter to fret the Malady out and let the Hair remain and the Medicine lye to it three days For Foundring Before I enter to express the Cure I would have you diligently to note the cause of this Disease The Causes of Foundring are either from superfluous and over-much Eating and Drinking or from immoderate and extreme Labour or abundance and fulness of Humours The undoubted and infallible Cure is Garter each Leg immediately one handful above the Knee and with a List good and hard then walk him chafe him into a Heat and being somewhat warm let him Blood in both the Breast-Veins 2 or 3 Quarts and reserve the same continually stirring it with your hands together to gather out the clods thereof then ta●e thereof two quarts of Wheat-flower half a peck six Eggs Shells and all and of Bole Armony half a pound of Sanguis Dragonis half a quartein and a quart of strong Vinegar mingle them altogether and charge all his Shoulders Breast Back Loyns and Fore-legs therewith and walk him upon some hard Ground suffering him not to stand still and when that the Charge is dry refresh it again and having walked him three or four hours together lead him into the Stable give him a little Mash of Malt and some Hay and provender and then walk him again for four or five days renewing the Charge upon him as it dryeth so long as it lasteth and keep it warm with a thin Dyet but if you see the Horse to be afraid to set his Hinder-feet to the Ground and to be so weak behind as to stand quivering and shaking and coveting to lie down Garter him also about

the Horse's head to the rack so as he may not bite the sore place and let him stand for the space of Two or Three Hours for in that time the anguish will be gone and the Medicine shall have done working then put the Horse to his Meat either in the House or Abroad And the Concression will fall away of it self which seen you may heal up the Sore Of the Retreat or cloging the Foot with the pick of a Nail The Cure is Turperntine Wax and Sheeps-Suet moulten together and pour into it melted and hot Of Surbaiting The Cure is take off his Shooes and make his Feet very clean but pare no hoof away then tack a hollow Shooe on and take half a pound of the Sword of Bacon a quarter of a pound of White-Soap a handful of Burnet a handful of Bay-leaves and Four or Five Branches of the Herb Grace stamp them well and fry them and lay them to his Feet as hot as you can both under and over the Foot and keep him dry renewing the Cure as you find occasion Four or Five times till it be perfected Another When you find your Horse to be Surbaited presently clap to each of his Fore Feet two new laid Eggs and crush them therein and then upon the top of them lay good store of Cow-dung thus stop him four hours and he will recover Instructions in giving of Fire or using of Corrosives which heal all sorts of Farcies Cankers Fistulas Leprosies Mangies Scabs c. There are two ways to give Fire the One actual and the other potential the First is done by Medicine either Corrosive Putrefactive or Caustick The actual Fire stoppeth the Corruption of Members and stancheth blood provided the Sinews Cords and Ligaments be not touched the best instruments to Cauterize or Sear with are of Gold or Silver the second best are of Copper the worst of Iron The Potential Fires are Medecines Corrosive Putrefactive or Caustick as we said before Corrosives are simple or compound the simple Corrosives are Roch-Allum burnt and unburnt Red Coral Mercury sublimed c. The Compound Vnguintum Apostolorum Vnguintum Aegiptiacum and Vnguintum Coroceum with others Medicines Putrefactive are your Arsnick Resalgar Chrisocolo and Aconitum Medicines which are Caustick are strong Iye Lime Vitriol Aquafortis and the like Corrosives are weaker than Putrefactives and Putrefactives are weaker than Causticks Corrosives work in the fost Flesh Putrefactives in ihe hard and Causticks break the sound Skin Thus you see the Use of these things you may apply them at your Pleasure for these cure all sorts of Farcies Cankers Fistula's Leprosies Maungies Scabs and such like poisonous Infections Of a Horse that is prick'd in the Foot with a Nail or otherwise The Cure is Cut the mouth of the Hole where the Prick is as broad as a Two-penny piece and search it clean for else it may prove very dangerous for Remedy take a handful of red Nettles and beat them in a Mortar put thereinto a spoonful of red Vinegar and a spoonful of black Soap and three spoonfuls of Boars-Grease or salt Bacon beat them altogether and make a Salve thereof and thrust as much into the Sore as you can and stop it from falling out let it take no Wet and it shall never rot farther Of the Quitterbone This is a breaking out of the top of the Cronet of the Hoof commonly on the inside and it cometh by pricking or gravelling it will break forth with Matter or a little deep Hole like a Thistle The Cure is To burn it about with a hot Iron then take of Arsnick the quantity of a Bean beaten into fine Powder and put into the bottom of the Hole with a Quill stop the mouth of the Hole close with Tow and bind it so that the Horse may not come at it with his Mouth and so let him rest that day the next if the Hole look black it is a good sign then tent it with Hogs-grease and Turpentine molten together with a Tent of Tow and cover it with a Bolster of Tow dipt in that Ointment continue so to do till you have got out that Core and then see whether the loose Gristle in the bottom be uncovered and feel with your Finger or a Quill if you be nigh it and if you be raise it with a crooked Instrument and pull it out with a pair of Nippers and then tent it with the said Ointment and after take Honey and Verdegrease boiled together till it look red and heal it therewith laid upon Tow. Take heed that it heal not too soon or close up too suddenly Of the Hoof-bound This is a shrinking together of the whole Coffin of the Hoof whereby the Tuel of the Foot which is inclosed in the same is so pinched that the Horse is very lame therewith and especially after Travel and if you knock them they will sound a little like to an empty Bottle and if both Feet be not bound you shall apparently see the Hoof that is bound to be less than the other This proceeds from suffereing the Feet to remain dry after great Travel This Distemper is also common with a Fennets or Asses Hoofs for that only wrinkleth and waxeth brittle and by reason of the breadth and shallowness of the Hoof it cannot inclose the Tuel of the Foot to strengthen it and yet it is the worst Hoof. The Cure is to open the Feet in the Quarters very much so that you may well lay your Thumb betwixt the Frush of the Foot and the end of the Coffin where it principally bindeth then raise both the Quarters of the Hoof with a Drawer from the Cronet unto the Sole of the Foot so deep as you see the Dew come out and also two rases of each side then open the Foot within and let him bleed in the Toes if it be old the Blood will be as cold almost as Water f●r that it hath not been fed with Blood wherein the vital Spirit is and that is the cause of the Coldness whereby it i● apparent that the Hoof hath not prospered but starved for you shall see the Frush and all the sole of the Foot shrunk up and starved then take away the sole of the Foot and stop it with Nettles and Salt bruised gently together not over hard renewing it once a day for nine days and be sure every day twice to anoint the Cronet of the Hoof and at the end of the nine days be sure every day twice throughly to anoint the Cronet of the Hoof and after the nine days end let his Feet be stopped with Bran and Hogs-grease boiled together bound too as hot as may be but still anoint the Hoof and when you put him to Grass let him not wear any Shooes but put him into a Marsh or Meadow deep of Grass whereby his Feet will be always wet and so enlarged again Some ignorantly call this Dry-Foundering when as all Foundering in that Foot proceeds from the

the Hoofs on the Hinder-legs and let him Blood also in the Thigh-Veins to the quantity of a Pottle and so double your Charge in quantity and therewith charge both Hinder-legs Reins and Flanks and all against the Hair and if you find him feeble by drawing so great a quantity of Blood give him a quart of Malmsey and a little Cinnamon Mace and Pepper finely beaten into a Powder made lukewarm and let him be walk'd and chafed up and down if he be able to go but if he be not able than tie him to the Rack and let him be hanged with Canvis or Ropes so as he may stand upon the Ground on his Feet and not suffered to lie down then pare all his Feet so thin that the dew come forth and tack on the Shooes again Stopping the Feet with Bran and Hogs-grease boiled together as hot as he can endure it and wrap them in Cloaths even to the Pasterns tying the Clouts fast Let his Diet be thin and give him no cold Water and so soon as he is able let him almost be continually walked unless he be so long gone that his Hoofs begin to loose ●● that it break forth at the Cronets of the Hoofs then take two Eggs as much Bole Armony and Bean-flower as will th●●●en the same and mingle them well together and make thereof a plaister such as may close each ●oot round about somewhat above the Cronet and bind the same fast that it fall not away or be removed for two days tog●ther let the Soles of his Feet be cleansed and stopt every day once and the Cronets but every two days and not walk'd for loosing his Hoofs but when he amendeth walk hi● upon some soft Ground fair and softly but if it break out above the Hoof then take all the fore-parts of the Sole clean away leaving the Heels whole then stop him and also dress him about the Cronet as aforesaid if this Grief tho it be very dangerous be espied in time it may be cured For the Shoulderpight This is when the pitch or point of the Shoulder is displaced which if it be the point will stick out farther than his Fellow and the Horse will halt downright The Cure is To make him for to swim in a deep Water eleven or twelve turns to try if he be able to make the Joint to return to his right place then make two tough Pins o● Ash-Wood of the bigness of your Little-singer sharp and thrust in one of the Pins from above downward so as both the Ends may equally stick without the Skin and if the Pin of Wood will not easily pass through make it way with an Iron pin then make two Holes cross to the first Holes so as the pin may cross the first pin right in the midst with a right Cross the first pin should ●e somewhat flat in the midst to the intent the other being round might pass the better without stop and close the Inster together then take a piece of a Line somewhat bigger than a Whipcord and at one end make a Loop which being put over one of the pins ends so as it may lie between the pins ends and the Skin fasten the least end with a Pack-Needle and Thread unto the end of the Cord so as it may not slip but first anoint both the pricks and Cord with Hogs-grease then bring him into the Stable and let him rest the space of nine days but let him lie down as little as you can and put a Pastern on the Fore-leg so that it may be bound with a Cord unto the Foot of the Manger to keep the Leg in the Stable more forward always than the other and at nine days end pull out the pricks and anoint the places with Diathea or Hogs-grease and turn him to Grass For a Frothy Hoof. First with an Instrument make hollow the Extremities of the Hoof on the outside till the principal Vein break ●et the Blood run forth then fill up the Hole with fine Salt and Hurds steeped in Vinegar and then bind them so that they shall not fall off This is a sure way to make a hard and a sound Hoof.
