evill savours of his breath for this powder healeth all his inward parts that be putrified from whence his bad breath taketh its origen ✚ This is very good and approved and a better remedy you shall finde none § 17. S. Hippoph VVHat is the best way to cure or take off a Splent Hippos This is to be done many waies but because we are come to treat of this cure I hold it not amisse to make you understand what a splent is by what meanes it commeth how to know it and which way to cure the same and to take it cleane away A splent is in the beginning a very gristle howbeit if it be long let alone it will come to be a hard bone or excresion and then it will not be so easily cured It commeth to a Horse by meanes of too hard travell and sore riding whilst he is very yong or by bearing in his youth too heavy burthens by both which meanes the grease being molten falleth down into his legges and so breedeth this sorance you shall have it bigger or lesser according as the cause of its comming was it taketh its residence for the most part upon the inside of the shanke about the middle thereof but sometimes again higher even adjoyning to the knee which if it be there then it is more difficile to cure It will many times cause the Horse to hault but howsoever it will make him oft to stumble and to trip and many times to fall in his travell Sometimes it commeth to a horse hereditarily like as doth the spaven and other sorances and maladies as if either the Stalion or Mare be visited therewith as I have formerly intimated The signes how to know it are most facile viz. either by the sight or feeling for that you may both see and feele its swelling Now to the cure for which I shall give you very many receits First wash the place with warme water and shave away the hayre then with your incision knife slit a hole cleane through the skin more then the length of a Barly corne and then convey into the said hole so much Arsnicke as the fourth part of a hasle Nut which must be bound on with a boulster and rowler of linnen and made fast with a needle and threed and so let remaine untouched three whole daies and nights in which time the Arsnicke will eate and corrode cleane away the splent Splent then to kill the fire anoint the place having first taken off the rowler and boulster and washed cleane the sorance with sweet or fresh Butter molten eight or ten dayes after and it will be whole ✚ With this I have done very many cures of this kinde Another First anoynt the place with ordinary soft washing Sope then tye a red woollen cloth about the legge just upon the splent that done heat a Brick glowing hot and lay it upon the cloth against the place where the splent is and hold it so close unto it a pretty space then so soone as you doe take that away have another as hot in a readinesse and clap that too also doing as before and so a third or so many as shall be needfull till you doe finde that the splent is dissolved and taken away which commonly will be in applying two or three hot Bricks ✚ With this I have taken off very many splents Another First wash and shave away the hayre then knock rubbe and pricke it with your bloud staffe and fleame and after you have so done rub and knock it again then Take Vervine and Salt of each one handfull pound them together to an Vnguent and apply it to the place and binde it up with a rowler stitched on fast with a needle and threed and so let it remaine foure and twenty houres and then unbinde it and it is cured without any more to doe ✚ This is very good Another Wash and shave as before and rub and knock as before also then with your incision knife lay open the place a little then knocke and rubbe againe with a little Salt then apply unto it this oyntment which the French do tearme a Retoyre Take of oyle de Bay foure ounces Cantharides Euforbium and Orpin of each one ounce all these being made into fine power let them be well incorporate into the said oyle and wrought to an Vnguent lay of this to the splent and bind it up with a Bowlster and Rowler and sew it up fast and let him stand so by the space of three houres upon the Trench so tyed up as that he bite not off the rowler and Medicine ●at three houres end unrowle the place and put unto it againe the said Retore or Oyntment being made warme and let the Horse stand trameled foure dayes and at foure daies end send him to the water a foote pace where every day he must be ridden up and downe to the belly If you doe love the horse and have a desire to have him perfectly cured let him not bee ridden more then a foote pace to the water in a moneth after for indangering the growing of it againe for nothing can bee more soveraigne for him then rest ✚ This Retore is a speciall good thing for this Malady and I have often used it and it did never faile me I had this in France of a famous Marishall who cured many horses therewith in my presence Another After you have washed and shaven knocked rubbed and laid it open as before is taught you take a head of Garlicke picked and pilled three or foure drops of the best white Wine Vineger a penny weight of greene Coppras all well beaten together apply it to the splent and then bind and stich it up and let it lye on foure and twenty houres then open it and if the splent be not taken quite away make more of the same Medicine and administer it againe binding it up as before and after other foure and twenty houres take of the medicine and then you shall need do nothing more unto him but only what you are prescribed in the precedent cure This I did never try Another First burne away the haire with a hot tyle then shave it close with your Rasor that done have in a readinesse a peece of Leather the breadth of the Sorance and bind it hard upon it and let it so remaine by the space of an houre then take him off and leade to the water without doing any more unto him and hee is cured This cure I never tryed Another Take Mustard seed and beat it and let it steepe a little in fayre water and after make a Plaister thereof and lay it to the place and three dayes after take it away but have a care your horse come not unto it with his teeth the hayre also being shaven away before you do apply your Plaister and this will cure him This also I never proved Another First wash and shave away the hayre then take of the tender tops of Wormewood
