given to Horses newly taken from Grass to bring away their gross and Phlegmatick Humours which do abound in their Stomach and Head which if they be not taken away in due time may empair greatly the Health of the Horse I never knew that Vomits were useful to a Horse till I met with a French Farrier which I saw administred it to sundry Horses which did work very kindly The Receipt is this Take two of the greatest Roots you can get of Pollâ—podium of the Oak washed and scraped very clean and Tie it to his Snaffle Trench or Bit then let it be steeped in the Oyl of Spike all Night and in the Morning fasting put on his Bridle with the same Roots and Ride him about with it about an hour fair and softly and if he be troubled with any Rheumaâ—ick or Phlegmatick humour or with any cold or silthy Matter which may annoy his stomach this will force him to vent it at his Mouth and Nose and it will cause him to Cough and Nâ—ez where he will send forth a great abundance of silth and evil slimy stuff from off his Stomach and Head as that in a very short time he will become very clean in his Body for this will both refine his Blood and exhaust all his watery Humours which will make him found a long time after it And this is not only to be applied to a Horse newly taken from Grass but to any other Horse that hath taken Cold or to any Ketty Foul Foggy or Pursive Horse whatsoever This

Yellows in a horse is the same that the Physicians do call the Jaundice in a man and there are two kinds of them The yellow and the black the yellow being moist and the black dry the yellow proceeds from the overflowing of the Gall occasioned by Choler and the black cometh from the overflowing of the Spleen proceeding from Melancholy which are both dangerous infirmities but the black is most deadly and mortal The yellow is discovered by the changing his natural colour from white to yellow viz. The Balls of his Eyes The Tongue the inside of his Lips and inward parts of his Nostrils are coloured yellow The black Jaundice is discovered by the quite contrary symptomes for having this disease the whites of his Eyes Tongue Mouth and Lips will be of a duskish colour and not so clear and sanguine as before And though this distinction of the yellow and black Jaundice be strange to some Farrieâ—s yeâ— it is most certain that when a Horse dieth of the Yellows he dieth of the black Yellows for when it cometh unto the case of Mortality then are all the inward parts converted to blackness and the yellow substance is clean mastered The Origen of this Malady cometh principally from unnatural heats given him by hard riding or labour which inflames the Liver Gall Blood and Spleen which causeth choler to have the sovereignty and dominion over the humors which occasions this disease which endeth in a sudden death if not timely prevented 237 Yard mattering or mattering of the Yard cometh most commonly in covering time by his over-freeness in spending upon Mares when the Horse and Mare are both too hot doth burn them giving him the Running of the Reins as we truly term it The Signes to know it are The falling down of yellow Matter from the Yard and a swelling at the end thereof and when he staleth he will do it with a great deal of pain and cannot well draw up his Yard again 331 Yard fallen down or Falling down of the Yard cometh to him for want of strength to draw it up within the Sheath but let it hang down between his Legs It is occasioned either through the weakness of that Member or by means of some Resolution in the Muscles and Sinews serving the same caused by some violent slip strain or stroke in the Back or else by some great weariness and tyring 332 and 381 The TABLE of the Diseases and Cures THE Nature Temperature and Virtue of most Simples set down Alphabetically From page 175. to p. 224 A.
