and field and in my conceyte haue lefte fewe needefull poyntes for a good Falconer vntouchte or treated of nowe I shall not do amisse nor wander ouer wyde from my purpose if I saye somewhat of Spanells without the which a Falconer specially vsing to flee the fielde cannot be without mayme of his pastime and impayre of his gallant glee And againe for that they are subiect to many diseases and plagues as we commonlye terme them for dogges and longer than they are without infection we may expect from them no pleasure assistance or recreation I wyll onelye in this treatise describe you their harmes with cures due to the same Among all whiche I place the Mangie firste as the capitall enimie to the quiete and beautie of a brane Spanell wherewith they poore dogges are oftentymes greately plagued bothe to the infection of their fellowes and the no slender griefe of their masters The waye to cure and discharge a Spanell of the Mangie is to annoynte him eyther at the fire or in the Sunne thryce euery other daye with an vnguent made of Barrowe flicke one pownde common Oyle three ownces Brimstone well brayed foure ownces salte well beaten and broosed ashes well syfted and sierced of eyther twoo ownces boyling all these in a Kettle or potte of earth mingling them well togyther tyll the barrowe flicke bee incorporate and well compounded with the reste With this vnguente thus made and confected annoynte and besmeare all the bodie of your Spanell and euery other parte of him shifting his litter and kennell often the oftener the better And lastely hauing thus done washe him ouer and ouer with good strong lye and it will mortifie and kill the Mangie But if perhappes as commonly it falleth out the Spanell loose hir heare though it proceeded not of the force of this vnguent and strong medicine yet it shal be very good to bathe your Spanell shredding his heare in this order with the water of Lupines or Hoppes and to annoynte hym with stale barrowes flicke This medicine ouer and besides that it cureth and quitteth the Mangie it also maketh the Spanells skinne beautifull fayre to looke to and kylles the flies the dogges disquieters and enimies to his ease But when this foresayde remedie is not of force sufficient to rydde the mangie but that it spreddes and getteth greater power and dominion ouer your Spanell then doth it behooue you to deuise a farre stronger medicine whiche is to take of strong Uineger twoo quartes or as muche as will suffise cōmon Oyle sixe ownces Brimstone three ownces sutte of a chimnie or potte a quantitie of sixe ownces brayed salte and serced twoo handfulls boyle all these aforesayde in the Vineger vsing the former order of annoynting your Spanell in the Sommer tyme. If neither of these remedies aforesayde wil serue the turne then for a laste refuge you muste be dryuen to practise with a farre stronger than eyther of both But in any wise this medicine muste not bee ministred in the colde of Winter for it will then put the Spanell in greate hazard of death Take quicke Syluer as greate a quantitie as shall suffise and mortifie it with stale barrowes flicke or Larde as if I shoulde sette you downe this proportion Of Quicke Syluer twoo ownces Barrowes grease ten ownces myngle them well togyther vntill they be incorporated with this vnguent annoynte your Spanell in the Sunne tying him afterwards for the space of an houre in the Sunne to the ende the vnguēt may syncke in and pierce the deeper Then washe him twice with blacke Sope and obseruing this order of annoynting him euery other day twyce or thrice assuredly you shall rydde him of all Manginesse whatsoeuer it be But I muste tell you this by the way that this vnguente of Quicke Siluer will cause hir heare to fail away Wherefore it shall be requisite euery third or fourth day to annoynt him with stale Bacon grease for that will presently make his heare to growe and come againe If a Spanell be not very muche infected with the Mangie then is it and easie matter to cure it in this sorte To make a kinde of breade with wheaten branne and the rootes leaues and fruite or flouers of the herbe which we call Agrimonie beating it well in a morter and making it into a paste or dowe baking it in an ouen and so made to giue your Spanells of the sayd breade as muche as they lyst to eate and none other breade at all for a time With foure or fiue of these loaues of breade made in manner as I tell you haue I cured my Spanels of the mangie and some other of my friendes Though euery body for the most part do know these common herbes yet neuerthelesse I will follow mine Author and set it downe with the same description as he doth Agrimonie is an herbe that growes in meadowes fields neare vnto some roote of a tree and vppon the mouth of sawe pittes and other olde vncleane and vnoccupied places The leaues of it do spreade vpon the grounde they are a shaftment in length iagged on eache side like vnto the leafe of Hempe diuided into fiue or moepartes and braunches indented rounde aboute It brings foorth one or twoo blackishe stalkes vppon whiche there are certayne boughes standing one distant from another on whiche there are yellowe floures and those floures beeing through rype doe yeelde certayne rounde berries as bygge as a Peaze or Fatche whiche wyll cleaue and hang to a mans garmentes if hee once touche them This description doth my Italian Authoure make of the herbe Agrymonie whereof he woulde haue this bread made to cure the mangie Spanell I leaue it ouer to thy vse and discretion till thou neede it Of diuers accidentes that happen to dogges and first of that ill which is called Formica EVery man dothe knowe that there is a kinde of vyle disease that lyghtes vppon Spanels eares whiche dothe greatly vexe them in the Sommer tyme especially with the flyes and the scratting and tearing themselues with theyr owne feete We terme it in Englishe a kinde of Mangie but bothe the Latinist and the Italian terme it Formica The Frenche man hee calleth it Fourmyer whiche in trouthe is in Englishe nothing else but an Ante or Pysmere applyed heere in this place to a dogges disease for some likelyhoode and propertie betwixte the Pysmere and the mischiefe whiche is accustomed to creepe and go further and further with his infection to the greate anoyance of the poore Spanell euen as the Pysmere is euer busie trauayling too and fro and neuer vnoccupied The waye to rydde this vyle disease and mischiefe is to bestowe vpon the infected place a medicine made of Gumme Dragaganthe foure ownces infused in the strongest Vyneger that may bee gotten by the space of eyght dayes and afterwardes broosed on a Marble stone as Paynters do their coloures adding vnto it Roche Alome and Galles beaten to powder
