herein first take the Horse out of the stable in a long string causing one to run him in his hand the length of the halter especially observe how he sets down his legs whatever leg is defective that leg to be sure he will endeavour to favour if he favour none but go upright then mount him and ride him roundly in some rode after this alight and let him stand still an hour or better then run him again in your hand at the halters length and then assure your self if he have the least grief he should not be able to conceal it If you find him infirm you shall know thus whence his grief proceeds if from an hot cause then the Horse halteth most when he is much exercised or travailed if from a cold cause then he halteth most when he hath stood still a while Hipped Horse or an Horse that is hurt in his Hips An hipped Horse is so properly called when the hip-bone is dislocated or removed out of its natural seat or place This Malady is as difficultly cured as any whatsoever for if it be not instantly taken immediately after the dislocation there will grow in the pot of the huckle bone a callous or hard substance that it will exclude the bone absolutely from ever possessing its natural habitation and so the Sorrance becomes incurable The symptoms of this Sorrance are halting much and going sidelong trailing his legs somewhat after him the grieved hip will be somewhat lower than the other and the flesh will fall away from his Buttock You must work his cure thus first cast him on his back and then having a strong Pastern on his grieved leg with a rope draw that leg upright and with your hands on each side his thigh bone guide it into the pot that done let him down gently and raise him up with as little stirring or disturbance to him as you can and so lead him softly into the stable after this charge all his hip and back with Rozen and Pitch molten together and laid on warm and upon that some Flocks of the colour of his own hair and so turn him to grass If there be no dislocation but only a hurt in the hip and that newly then take of Oyl de Bay of Dialthea of Nerve Oyl and of Swines grease of each half a pound melt them all together stirring them till they are throughly incorporated then anoint the Sorrance therewith against the hair every day once for fourteen days and that it may well sink in hold an hot bar of Iron over the place you anoint waving your hand to and fro and this will soon cure him Hough-Bonny Hough-Bonny is a round swelling growing on the very Elbow of the hoof and proceedeth from a bruise by beating his hoof against the post which standeth behind him or otherwise The remedy must be by taking a round Iron somewhat sharp at the end like a big Bodkin and let it be somewhat bending at the point then holding the sore with your left hand pulling it a little from the sinew pierce it with the Iron made red hot thrusting it beneath in the bottom and so upward into the jelly having thrust out all the jelly tent the hole with Flax dipt in Turpentine and Hogs-grease molten together and also anoint the outside with warm Hogs-grease doing this every day making the tent lesser and lesser till the Sorrance be cured Though this may be looked on as none of the meanest remedies for this distemper yet it comes far short of this following which frequently I have experimented successfully First take Hay boiled in old Urine and so bring the swelling to suppuration or discuss it if you can but if it comes to putrefaction then lance it in the lowest part of the swelling or softness with a thin hot Iron and so let out the matter then tent it with Turpentine Deers-suet and Wax of each a like quantity molten together and be sure that you lay a Plaister over of the same that you may keep in the Tent till it be perfectly cured Haltings of all sorts coming either by stroke strain or the like with their Cures For an Horse to halt is so common a thing that no Traveller but is very well acquainted with the trouble thereof if the malady be so well known there are few I think should be ignorant of the Cures which I shall orderly set down If the Halt proceed from stiffness of Sinews strain or stroke and that the malady lie in his leg then take Smallage Oxe-eye and Sheep-suet of each a quantity alike chop them all together and boil them all in man's Urine and bathe the whole leg therewith then with Hay-ropes wet in cold water rowl up his leg and you shall find him the next morning in a very good posture either to begin or continue his journey Another as good as the former Take Nerve-oil Oil de Bay and Aqua vitae mingle these together then warm it having so done take it and chafe it in upon and about the strain this will remove the pain If the grief be in the shoulder or hinder-leg then burn it upon the very joint by taking up the skin with a pair of Pincers and thrust the skin through with an hot Iron overthwart if you find this do him but little good then you may conclude his pain to be between the skin and the bone which then must be Roweled Another for a strain or swelling according to the practice of the most experienced Farriers now living Take a pint of the best Vinegar of sweet Butter four ounces and set them over the fire then with fine Wheat-bran make it into a Pultess over the fire and lay it as hot to the Sorrance as the Horse is able to endure it do thus morning and evening and it is excellent good to asswage any strain newly taken But if the strain be of some standing then take Mallows and Chickweed and boil them in strong Urine and so lay them very hot to the strain Now if your strain by length of time or abused by Medicines seem to the eye of all understanding men incurable the sinews and swelling being bony hard and knotted then take Piece-grease and melting it on the fire anoint and bathe the strain therewith very hot chafing it very much with your hand and afterwards holding a broad bar of Iron hot against it to make the Ointment the better sink in then with a fine linnen Rowler rowl up the leg softly continue thus doing once a day and there is no strain how great soever and desperate but it will remedy in a little time Helps for all Sores and Vlcers Old Sores or Ulcers have a threefold distinction the first are Fistula's being Sores which are deep hollow and crooked the second are Cankers this Sorrance is known by its shape which is broad and shallow and by its nature spreading and increasing the last are old Sores or Ulcers which are differenced from the two

Salve this is for present use and you must apply it to the Sore with a linnen cloth binding it so on that it shall not fall off 2. Take of common Honey two ounces Roch-alom Verdigriese and Vinegar of each one ounce you must pulverize the Alom and Verdigriese then take of Sublimate finely powdered two ounces boil these together a very little and then take it off using it as you shall find occasion 3. Take of hard Rozin and Perosen of each two pound of Virgin-wax Frankincense and Sheep-suet of each one pound of old tried Hogs-grease two pound boil the Gums and Wax in a pint of white Wine and then put into it the Sheep-suet and Hogs-grease and when all is well molten and wrought into a body strain it and whilst it is yet hot put thereto of Venice Turpentine two ounces work all these together and keep it for your use 4. Take tried Hogs-grease 1 pound Verdigriese finely powdered 2 penniworth let these take 3 or 4 walms over the fire then take it off and put to it of Venice Turpentine one Ounce stir these all together till it be cold There are many more excellent Salves Ointments Powders and Waters which for brevity sake I omit knowing that these will do as much as all the rest Shoulder Sorrances what they are with their Cures and first of the Shoulder-wrench The several sorts of Sorrances which happen to the shoulder are either discoverable by the eye or to be felt by the hand now as to the Shoulder Wrench it is discoverable to both It cometh of some dangerous slipping or sliding or of too sudden stopping on the Gallop c. The Cure is to take Wheat meal two pound and put it into some red Wine setting the Posnet wherein they are over the fire then take Bolearmoniack finely pulverized half a pound of ordinary Honey one pound boil all these together and when boiled add to them of Pitch half a pound and so keep them stirring till the Pitch be throughly melted and as you are about to take it off the fire put thereunto half a pound of ordinary Turpentine of Cummin Oil de Bay Dialthaea Sanguis Dracunis Bay-berries Fenugreek Linseed-flowers of each two ounces make all these into fine powder then take an ounce of the Oil of Aspick boil and mix these very well together that done charge the shoulder therewith down to the Knees this is a sovereign Remedy for Shoulder wrenches Knees or Hips it comforteth the Sinews it bringeth down swellings and is very good against Kibes and Scratches Yet if this receipt should not answer your expectation for the best Remedies may sometime fail then first open his Breast-vein after that rowel him from the nether part of the Spade-bone down to the point of his Shoulder which done set a patten shooe upon the sound foot and so turn him to grass for about a month stirring and removing every other day the Rowels thrusting out the matter as soon as you perceive he goes sound take off the patten shooe and Rowels and let him run a little longer to grass and he will be perfectly well Shoulder pight or disl●cated Shoulder pight or dislocated is when an Horse by some great ●all or strain hath the point of his Shoulder thrust out of joint or displaced which is very discoverable by the sticking out of the point of the fore shoulder farther than the sound besides the Horse will halt downright This way you may effect the Cure First cast him upon that side which hath not the Shoulder dislocated then fasten with a Cord the foot of the same leg all along a board and that again to some tree-or post about three paces from the Horse whilst this is extended let one with a pail of cold water bathe and wash the dislocated member with his hand in so doing he must take up that member which he must chafe from the top to the further end of the leg by so doing the bone will be reduced to its proper place that done raise him very gently and then let him blood in the Breast-vein on that side the member is dislocated then put on a patten shooe on the contrary foot and let his forefeet be trammelled above a fortnight afterwards to hinder him from lying down and let there be daily a fresh restringent Charge applied to the shoulder after this swim him against the stream and then anoint him with this Unguent and he will be perfectly cured the Ointment is this take Oil de Bay Oil de Petra Oil of Spike and N●rve-oil of each an equal quantity and anoint his shoulder therewith this Remedy never failed me But the way of late much practised is to lay good store of straw under the horse then put on his fore-legs a pair of Pasterns and the like on his hinder then having thrown him on his back hang him by the legs from the ground with two ropes drawn over some beam or other thing convenient for that purpose this will resettle the bone in its pristine seat then having let him down very softly loose the fore Pastern of the sound leg and with a Cord before you let him rise tie the same leg to the foot of the manger so short as in his rising he shall be forced to hold his leg before him for fear of putting his shoulder out of joint let him stand so three or four days as soon as he is up burn all the point of his shoulder with an hot Iron Chequerwise a full foot square at least then charge all these burned places and the whole shoulder with Pitch Rozin and Tar melted together laid on very hot and clap flox of the colour of the Horse upon it then charge him again over the flox at three days end loose his foot and put a pair of Pasterns on his feet then suffer him not to lie down for twenty days after that walk him out if he go not well give him as much more rest Shoulder strained For a Shoulder strained take of Oil of Pumpillion Oil of Spike and Linseed-oil of each an ounce and an half mix these together and rub and bathe his Shoulder therewith very well and that it may sink in the better heat a fire-pan red hot and hold it against his Shoulder then bleed him in the shoulder not forgetting to hopple his feet together and he will soon be sound as ever Another Excellent Remedy Take a large Earthen vessel and fill it full of the herb A●smart and Brrok-lime equally mixt together then put to them as much of the stalest Urine as will cover them all over then cover the pot close and set it aside in some cool place now when you have occasion to make use hereof proportion the quantity according to your discretion and so putting both the Urine and Herbs into a Pipkin boil it well then take an old Boot and cut off the foot then draw it over the Horses foot up almost to the Elbow of his Shoulder
