him blood in the necke and in those veines next the place that is infected and launch the knobs annointing them with blacke sope tarre and bay salt once in two dayes and this will helpe him without faile proved The disease of the Wombe of the Mare called the Weather is when the bag or nature cometh out and she is in great paine therfore take white wine vinegar and roch-allum warme and wash the nature bag that cometh out then put it in againe then make a drinke of peach-stone kirnells comfrey nutmegs and sinamon all beaten to powder and boiled in milke or ale and give it the Mare twice in a day and it will helpe her proved The Hungry evill and Consumption of the Flesh is when the horse doth eat his meat fast and greedily and yet prospers not with it but still growes leaner which I think doth proceed from some evill habit in the body although some Farriers do not perceive the cause therefore I advise you to give your horse some Rosemary marigold seed or diapanta sage savin earth-nuts or pig-nuts oranges and lemons steeped in vinegar three dayes and some egges steeped with them and stopped close till the egge-shells be as soft as the orange then take out the egges and the oranges whole and put into the vinegar a quarterne of sugar-candie treakle diapanta savin sage nuts boile them together and milke-warme give it the horse in the morning and let him have the egges and oranges after the drinke riding him for two houres after it then give him sod beanes and pease for the space of six dayes and a little of this drinke every morning and it will cause his flesh to rise againe if you let him blood in the mouth A very good medicine to take either in wine or beere against the Fever Palsie or Convulsion of the Sinewes or to annoynt the body or sinewes withall in time of numnesse or stifnesse Take Galbanum castoreum bedlam pepper amoniacum ladanum dissolved in sallet oyle bayberries graines Rue Isop tansie anniseeds liquorish oile of turpentine Fox-grease or badgers-grease tarre stone-pitch hogs grease take of these things an equall quantity and beat them to powder small and boyle them together then give the horse part in wine and annoint his body and legs with part warming it in with hot coles in a pan then keepe him warme and let him stand drie and either ride or walk him once or twice a day giving him no cold water for nine dayes space but rubbing his body and legs well and as soone as you see him beginne to use his legs you may let him blood in all foure a little annointing him all over with oyle of Copresse and by this meanes the horse may recover his former strength and nimblenesse againe as hath beene proved Balls to give horses when you misdoubt their grease to be over heated by too hard riding Take honey fine hogs lard the herbe called Earsene tobacco savin Rue the tops of stocke-gilliflowers some Isop camomile and smallage shread the herbs small or beat them in a morter then temper the honey and lard with them or boyle them in sacke and give it the horse to drinke this will cause the horse to scowre out the grease and cleanseth his guts from all kinde of wormes proved To helpe your horse if you misdoubt hee hath eaten or drunke any poyson Take Betonie plantain and harts-horne scrape it small and boile it in milke and when you have made it blood warme put in some sallet oyle venice turpentine and fine hogs lard or hogs grease beaten well together before you put it in the milke and this will qualifie the poyson and the horse will doe well againe proved Balls to keepe your horse in breath and health fit for hunting first take Rosemary and marigold-seed anniseeds and liquorish comfrey roots colts-foot cardus and fennell roots all dryed to powder with frankincense mirrhe cominseed turmericke treakle sugat-candy butter temper all these well together and give them to the horse in the morning when you ride him forth before you water him and then you may ride him two or three houres or till your occasion serveth in reasonable time to come in for the longer you ride him after it the better it is for him If at any time your Horse or Oxe cannot Vent give him this glister take tobacco and honey beating it together in a morter and when it is well mixed put some sallet oyle unto it and some hogs-grease then milke-warme put it in his fundament with a straight horne and let one that hath a small hand stirre it gently up and downe in his body and it will helpe him presently proved For a horse that cannot Stale take a small twig made very smooth and annoynt it with oyle then pull out his yard and thrust the twig up in his bladder and that will give him vent which done you shall give a drinke made of fennell seed or the root of Filippendula camomile smallage anniseeds liquorish and some ordinary horse-spice which you usually buy at the Mercers shops boyled all well together in white wine or beere and this will helpe the horse but you must stirre him up and downe a good space after A very good Plaister for Broken bones if the skin be not broke Take the whites of egges bole-armoniacke red lead and salt beat them together and role up the place for three dayes then open it and if the bone begins to sodder together and not swell dresse it as before but if it swell wash the place well with wine vinegar and salt and if the bones be broke thorow the skin you must mixe blacke sope and bole armoniacke together and lay on the outside and make a salve to dresse the wound with of Cats-grease hogs-grease venice turpentine tutsome leaves comfrey leaves and colts-foot boyled all together and strained and therewith annoynt the sore places putting some into the wound with a feather then make an open place betweene the Splints that the corruption may runne away and when it is whole lay on a Charge of pitch rofin masticke bole-armoniacke and red lead and swath up the place and if you let him runne at grasse but one March after the bone will grow as strong as ever it was proved Some never failing Medicines for certaine mortall Diseases and other griefes incident to Men Women Children or other Creatures TAke three pintes of Malmesie or for want thereof good Muskadine boyle therein one handfull of Sage one handfull of Rue being shred small till a pinte be wasted then straine it and set it over the fire againe putting thereto one penny worth of Long Pepper halfe an ounce of Ginger a quarter of an ounce of Nutmegs all beaten together then let it boyle againe a little This done take it from the fire and put to it a quarter of a pinte of strong Angelica water or good Aquavitae a quarter of an ounce of Mythridate a quarter of a pinte of Triacle
legs together then lay him upon good store of straw and clap a sheepe-skin new taken from the sheep and dipped in brine upon his back keeping it so for twelve dayes then let him st●nd up and if you stay him with ropes that hee fall not hee may do well but cut off three joynts of his taile and lay a Charge of Pitch Rosin and Bole armoniacke good and thicke upon his backe and so let it lie till it fall away The Falling of the haire is either with Wormes or with the Mange if it be with Wormes let him blood in the taile veine and wash his taile or maine with stronglye and bay-salt but if it be the Mange then must you take blacke sope tarre brimstone bay-salt hogs-grease and a little Tobacco boyled well together and after that you have shaved off the scurfe then annoint the Horse with it good and warme once or twice at the most and it will skale foure dayes after then may you annoint him with hogs-grease and this will heale him with letting blood The Horse that is Stisted cannot gather up his leg but trailes his toe on the ground the Cure is thus Put in the bone and take up the skin with a paire of pinsers and burne a hole thorow it annointing the place well with comfrey and butter boiled together then side-span the other legs for three dayes and this will cure him but if hee be bruised or strained let him blood on the haunch veine and blow and rowell the Horse and annoint him with hogs grease and oyle of Spike beaten together and warme it in with some warme Iron The Spavin is a Bunch in the pan of the Hocke if it be soft wee call it a Blood-Spavin if hard a Bone-Spavin the cure for the Blood-Spavin is Take up the veine and draw the veine out if the Spavin be big at the nether place that you open and salt the veine well then lay on a Charge of pitch rosin bole-armoniacke masticke and sanguis draconis boyled all together with some Flockes but if be a Bone-Spavin you must lay a corasure to it made of Euforbium Cantharides a little Mercurie white wine vinegar and oyle of Spike beaten together but shave off halfe the skinne so farre as the bunch goeth and then clap it on like a plaister tying up his head for the space of three houres and when it comes off two dayes after annoint it with a little butter and draw it with a hot Iron then lay on the Charge before spoken of letting it lie till it fall away of it selfe which done you must annoint it once in two dayes till it be whole this will cure without faile but if you lay the corasure on you must not worke the Horse nor let him come in water for ten dayes The Curbe lies under the Hocke therefore you must pricke it with a Fleame and when it hath bled well then draw small lines with your hot Iron like a broad arrowes head and lay the same Charge as you doe for the Splint The Puffing lies like winde in the gambrell place above the Hocke and if you let him blood in the thigh veine laying the same Charge unto it as is prescribed for the Curbe and fier him as you doe the same it is a present remedy Malanders and Selenders lye in the bout of the knee and in the Ham behinde this Sorance is always scabbed and the more you rub it the worse it is if you take not the right course therfore I advise you to shave all the scurfe off his legs so farre as it goeth with a hot Iron but take heed that the Iron be not too hot but so as it may scald the scurfe off and then take a little black sope and bay-salt and annoint the place with it once in two dayes for a weeke and then take sope and butter and bole armoniacke mixed well together and annoint the place untill it be whole The Tent in a Horses leg is when the nutriment of the sinewes falls under the f●ter lock which will make a Horse lame it is big and soft and must be thus cured Strike it with a Fleame in the middle of the soft place and it will spout out like the white of an egge then put a little salt and annoint all the feter-lock with a salve made of Comfrey tursome leaves and butter giving him twelve dayes rest and then you may use him againe Wind galls are above the Fetter-locke and they are not to be opened anywhere but as the Tent is foregarter the Horse with a string and lap the leg from the knee or hocke downeward for this Sorance belongeth to all foure legs and they are cured all alike and you shall see the Wind-galls come into the same place that the Tent doth and the same receipt serveth if not then you must draw with a hot Iron small races croswaies on both sides of the legs and lay the Charge rehearsed for the Splint and Spavin and it will cure him The Paines is an evill humour in the body therefore it is good to trot your Horse till hee begin to sweat then let him blood on both sides of the necke and take up the haunch veines and give the same drink that is prescribed for the Liver and Spleene washing his legs once in two dayes with this water compounded of white Wine vinegar white copresse greene copresse brimstone butter and bay-salt boyled together and afterwards annoynt it with creame A Horse may be Founderd diverse wayes either in the feet or in the legs or in the body if hee be founderd in the body his haire will stare and if you strike him on his ribs they will sound like an empty barrell and he will goe crowdling all foure together and when he is too sore heated and coole too suddenly then he will be as though his backe were broke and cannot stand and then he is most commonly past cure but if he can stand and goe then make a Charge of oyle of Spike pigeons dung and salt boyled together and rub it into his backe and loines covering him with a new Sheep skin with the wooll upon it warme and make a drinke of Sacke or strong ale Isop mallowes smallage fennell some of a Brionetree-root treakle honey tarre goose grease or sine lard boyle all these together and give it the Horse to drinke once a day for three dayes and in the afternoones a Mesh of malt and let him blood in the necke legs haunch veines and taile each place a little If he be founderd in the feet pare them thin and let them bleed in the toes well then stop up his feet with hogs-grease and wheat bran and annoint them with tarre turpentine hemlocks and nettles boiled together and this will cure him A good way to stanch blood in any part If the Horse bleed after letting blood in any veine you may take a sticke and cleave it halfe way so as it may clip the skinne together and
