Let him drink but once a day and let it be white Water which is a handful or two of Wheat-Bran stirred in amongst his water made first luke-warm 3.

This often washing him in cold water will wash off the poisoned Medicines if he hath been poisoned with any and also abate very much the Malignancy of the Disease 7. Let him rest three or four days after his first Drink and then give him another and Order him in every thing as you did before 8. If you find him after this second Drink that he is not perfectly Cured you may give him the third and this will certainly Cure him 9. When you give him his first Drink if you please you may Blood him with the end of your Cornet in the Furrow on the top of his Mouth The Vertues of this Malignant Drink for the Farcy are these It will cause him to vomit up much Filth and run at the Nose very nauseous and stinking stuff and yellowish Water It is a great Sweetner and Purifyer of the Blood as also a great Drier up of all evil and malignant Humours that are seated and rooted in the Body If the Heads of the Buds appear red and loose lay upon them a little burnt Allom mixed with a little Butter or Hogs-grease and you shall quickly find them to fall off A Receipt for the C●re of the Water Farcy This is the usual and common Way for the Cure of it viz.

Foundering 377 Hide-bound is when the skin sticketh so fast to the Horses Back and Ribs that you cannot pull it from his Flesh with your hand It cometh to a horse several ways sometimes by Poverty sometimes for want of good ordering sometimes by over-heating him by hard Riding and carelessly letting him stand in the Wet and Rain and sometimes of corrupt and filthy Blood Siccicating the Flesh which wanting its natural course causeth this shrinking of the Skin together which maketh him illy disposed and to have a gaunt shrivelled and shrunk up Belly to his Flanks making his Hair to stare and his Legs to swell with many more Signes but let these serve in stead of more 258 Hip-shot is when the Hip-bone is removed out of his right place It cometh to him many ways sometimes by a wrench or stroke of a horse sometimes by slip strain sliding or falling The Signes to know it are He will halt and go sideling in his going and the sore Hip will fall lower then the other and the Flesh in process of time will consume away and if you suffer him to run too long it will never be restored to its pristine Estate 397 The Hurle-bone is about the midst of the Buttock and is very apt to go out

Hoof-loosened is a dissolution or dividing of the Horn or Coffin of the Hoof from the flesh at the setting on of the Cronet Now if the parting be round about the Cronet it cometh by means of Foundering If it be in part then it cometh by some prick of some Channel-Nail Quitter-bone Retreat Graveling or Cloying or such like thing The Signes to know it are these When Loosened by Foundering it will break first in the fore-part of the Cronet right against the Toes because the Humour doth always covet to descend towards the Toe but if it proceeds from Pricking Graveling and such like
