its_o flower_n to_o declare_v my_o opinion_n ingenuous_o i_o never_o observe_v any_o horse_n to_o receive_v great_a benefit_n by_o perfume_n but_o i_o be_v willing_a to_o insert_v they_o here_o for_o the_o satisfaction_n of_o some_o person_n the_o syringe_n make_v perfume_n and_o even_a feather_n useless_a and_o spoil_v not_o the_o horse_n appetite_n but_o since_o farrier_n be_v very_o fond_a of_o these_o medicine_n and_o continual_o propose_v the_o use_n of_o they_o i_o think_v fit_a to_o describe_v the_o best_a that_o can_v be_v make_v though_o even_o that_o be_v not_o very_o effectual_a and_o i_o dare_v not_o advise_v you_o to_o use_v it_o during_o the_o use_n of_o these_o remedy_n keep_v the_o horse_n to_o a_o moisten_a diet_n which_o facilitate_v the_o evacuation_n you_o be_v oblige_v to_o procure_v some_o dislike_n moisten_v bran_n and_o recommend_v oat_n but_o i_o always_o find_v bran_n to_o be_v the_o most_o proper_a food_n for_o oat_n give_v nature_n too_o much_o trouble_v to_o digest_v '_o they_o i_o have_v see_v horse_n void_a matter_n at_o the_o nose_n six_o year_n together_o and_o yet_o during_o all_o that_o time_n perform_v their_o wont_a service_n hunt_v

sometime_o after_o the_o use_v of_o remedy_n and_o hope_n of_o cure_n be_v both_o lay_v aside_o they_o recover_v their_o perfect_a health_n chap._n xxii_o another_o remedy_n for_o the_o glander_n take_v a_o pot_n large_a enough_o to_o hold_v five_o pint_n or_o three_o quart_n fill_v it_o a_o three_o part_n full_a with_o the_o second_o bark_n of_o the_o aller_n or_o alder-tree_n which_o grow_v in_o watery_a place_n and_o serve_v to_o make_v stool_n ladder_n and_o other_o utensil_n of_o small_a value_n scrape_v the_o bark_n or_o cut_v it_o small_a and_z have_v add_v two_o quart_n of_o water_n boil_v it_o to_o the_o consumption_n of_o one_o half_a stir_v it_o from_o time_n to_o time_n then_o add_v another_o quart_n of_o water_n to_o that_o which_o remain_v and_o boil_v away_o that_o also_o after_o which_o add_v another_o quart_n and_o consume_v that_o too_o then_o press_v out_o the_o remain_a quart_n and_o dissolve_v in_o the_o strain_a liquor_n half_a a_o pound_n of_o oil-olive_n pour_v out_o half_a a_o pint_n of_o the_o liquor_n thus_o mix_v and_o give_v the_o rest_n to_o the_o horse_n to_o drink_v lukewarm_a then_o inject_v the_o other_o half_a pint_n into_o his_o nostril_n and_o afterward_o walk_v he_o abroad_o in_o his_o clothes_n for_o half_a a_o hour_n this_o remedy_n will_v draw_v forth_o abundance_n of_o matter_n and_o though_o he_o only_o void_v matter_n at_o one_o nostril_n before_o it_o will_v make_v he_o run_v at_o both_o if_o the_o horse_n be_v not_o cure_v eight_o day_n after_o repeat_v the_o same_o remedy_n and_o perhaps_o he_o will_v recover_v i_o have_v both_o cure_v some_o horse_n with_o this_o medicine_n and_o use_v it_o several_a time_n without_o any_o success_n at_o all_o but_o it_o never_o produce_v any_o dangerous_a effect_n if_o this_o do_v not_o cure_v the_o horse_n take_v up_o his_o two_o neck-vein_n and_o afterward_o give_v he_o a_o do_v of_o the_o cordial_a pill_n four_o day_n together_o which_o will_v either_o cure_v he_o or_o you_o may_v conclude_v he_o to_o be_v past_a recovery_n another_o remedy_n for_o the_o same_o distemper_n take_v of_o oriental_a caster_n gross_o beat_v a_o ounce_n gentian_n
