put a little bole-armoniacke betweene for a while and it will stay or if the wound be big you may take some of the Horses owne dung and salt mingled together and binde it to the wound letting it lye for the space of twelve houres after and then there is no danger or you may take nettles and salt beaten together or the Soot or scraping of the out side of a kettle or hogs-dung for any of all these things will stay bleeding A very good Medicine for the Biting of a Mad dog First get some Sweet-brier tree barke and betonie beaten to powder and runnning water and bay-salt boyled together and give it the Horse or Sheepe or Dog or Hog to drinke and wash the place well that is bit with the water good and hot and this will helpe if you let blood in the Roofe of the mouth Proved If a Horse or any other Beast be stung or bitten with an Adder Snake or any kinde of venomous creature you may take new milke and wash the place and then take rotten egges soot fresh butter turpentine bay salt and bole-armoniacke beaten small and mingled well together then launch the place and annoynt it with the salve giving your Horse or other beast wine and treakle luke-warme to drinke and when the venome is out annoynt the place with Salet oyle and turpentine beaten together once in two dayes untill it be whole A Re-advertisement to the Reader Gentle Reader SOme have writ that a Horse hath no Braine nor Milt which I deny Others have affirmed that a Horse may have the Mourning of the Chine which I deny also for the Chine and Braine joyne together And if the Braine should wast the Horse cannot live For this cause and to prevent the like errour from the outward Sorances and Diseases commonly incident to Horses whereof I have before treated and explained their severall Cures I proceed to the Inward Grievances and their Remedies For the more plaine and easie understanding of which I have laid open every part Bone or Sinew belonging to a Horse so that every man though but of a meane capacity may both finde out the cause of any Disease and the way to Cure it by those Medicines which I have here prescribed and by mine owne Expeience often proved being such things as with ease are commonly to be had in most Gardens or almost in every Grocers and Apothecaries Shop And now l advise you to bee very carefull in making a true compound of every Drinke or Medicine which you shall have occasion to use both for your owne profit and my credit for I have left the quantity to your owne discretion that you may apply it according to the constitution of your Horses body since some are able to beare farre more then others As also although many be fearfull to let Blood at some times yet I wish you upon any great occasion to deferre no time at all but to doe it speedily otherwise I hold it fit to observe the Moone the temper of the ayre and time of the day for a temperate Aire is very good to undertake any Cure in either inward or outward And so for your instructions by the Anatomy here prefixed for it is necessary that every Farrier should know not onely the office but the number of all the Bones smallest gristles or Sinewes in every part of the Horse I have layd open the Horse and placed the letter A over his Head which showes how the Eyes hang to the Braines as as when hee is living with other letters to describe the Entrailes and other members as they lye in order in the Horse So as A signifies the Eyes B signifies the Braine C C the Teeth D the Windpipe E the Gullet F F the Lights G the Heart H the Liver I the Milt K the Maw L the Guts M the Kidnies N the Spleene O the Bladder P the Dock Q the Gall R R the Midriffe As also I have set figures upon every joynt according to the number of the Bones therein contained As for Example The Figure of 5. next to the Braine specifies five Bones in the Head and the two figures of 20. upon each side of the Head so many Teeth and so of the rest according to their places for the number of Sinewes likewise I have placed the figures on the outside of the Horse with the letter S. to distinguish them from the Bones And thus wishing thee good successe in all the Cures that you take in hand I rest Your Friend R. B. The true Anatomy and Inside of a Horse FIrst I finde that in the Head there breed many Sicknesses as the Falling evill the Staggers the Sleeping evill the Frenzie the Pofie and Giddinesse besides most Farriers say that the Moone-eyes are a sore Disease in the Head The Falling evill is a stopping of the spirits veines arteries and pores depriving the Horse of his sense as it doth a man so that he lyeth as it were dead for a time yet he may be thus cured Let him blood on both sides of the necke and in the mouth and in the nose then take oile of turpentine ale cost fennell camomile and pionie roots boiled in oile then straine it and put the oile in his eares and either sow or tie them that it come not out and boile the same herbe in strong ale giving it the Horse to drinke three mornings and it will helpe him This is also good for Giddinesse or the Palsie or any Quivering or shaking proved The Staggers is a Plurisie of blood thorow-out the whole body and infumes the senses of the Horse so that he can neither stand nor goe without staggering his feeling is taken away his sight growes dimme and hee will runne against walls and hedges staying himselfe on his head and if he be farre gone he will sleepe and start as though he were in a dreame the Cure whereof as I have found by experience is thus Let him blood in the necke nose eyes and mouth and if you see that hee lookes yellow then it is a signe that the Yellowes are come upon him too therefore to use the cure for both it is not amisse then if his eares bee cold take aquavitae and salt and put it into his eares and tye them for twelve hours but if you can get no aquavitae take water and salt which will doe well then launch the skinne in his forehead and open it two inches and put in garlicke and annoynt the outside with hogs grease which done you must make a Drinke for him of Tansie turmerick long pepper graines aniseed liquorish and strong ale boyled well together and milk warme give it the horse stirring him up and downe a good space and if he live but six hours after his dressing there is likely no danger and then you must give him a Mesh of malt twice a day for foure or five dayes after This serveth for the Staggers and Yellowes both if you let him blood
