AMongst young Horses bleeding at the Nose happens by the large quantity of blood they contain which swells and frets the veins that end in that place till it either open them or force its passage by breaking them which proceeds from a corroding humour in the blood which pierceth or eateth the vein in the thinnest place It is likewise occasioned by a stroak cut or any think forcibly thrust up the Nostrils too much straining and the like To prevent which before it happens or stay it when it flows To prevent bleeding at the Nose often burn Frankincense or Assa fetida under his Nose in a Chafingdish and squirt up his Nostrils juice of Houseleek or juice of Garlick To stay bleeding the juice of young Nettles sweetned with Loaf-sugar and squirted up his nostrils is a sure expedient or if that fail

in equal proportions six mornings successively and it will effect the cure The defect in Horses Lungs the cause and cure MOst diseases of the Lungs proceed from excessive heats or their contraries occasioned by hard riding or evil looking to and if the descending humours so contracted are not timely removed they cause the Lungs to putrefie and rot to know which distemper observe his Flanks and Ribs for if they rise slowly and beat heavily then are the humours contracted by cold and must be speedily removed 't is also to be known by his short drawing of his breath and slow cough as likewise by filthy matter that will upon his lying down and rising up issue out of his mouth and nostrils then to remove the humours take Horse lungwort by some called Mullet a good handful Fennegreek seed two ounces of Madder made into powder an ounce then having shred and bruised the Herbs boyl them in new Ale or Beer and give it the Horse grieved in a Drenching horn for ten or twelve days each morning fasting feeding him afterward with Mashes and giving him warm water with Wheat-bran scattered in it and when you give him his dose at the same time anoint his Breast and Ribs with the Oyl extracted from a Snake and in so doing he will be restored to health The Lethargy or Sleeping evil its cause and cure THis distemper proceeds from Phlegmatick humours which settle about the Brain and so numb it that it causes the Horse to be greatly desirous of sleep even standing or travailing to redress which let him blood in the neck vein and pallate of the mouth and taking a gallon of spring-Spring-water boyl therein Camomile Wheat-bran Mother-wort and put thereto a considerable quantity of Salt and Vinegar which done add to it two ounces of Parsly seed and as much Fennel seed then boyling them well give the water clean strained to your Horse to drink anointing afterward the Pallate of his mouth with Hony and Mustard and by striking or making a noise keep him for twelve hours space from sleeping Moorfoundred what it is and how to cure it THis distemper according to the French is no other than a foundering in the Horses body by the melting of the grease occasioned by excessive heats or not due cooling after travail To cure which having well raked his tail gut with your hand dipped in Olive Oyl give him a Clister made of Camomile Mallows Agarick and Baum all boyled in new milk and well strained Then take a quart of the best Malago and setting it on the fire put into it Cinnamon Liquorish and Anniseeds of each an ounce and three ounces of Hony and give it him as warm as he can receive it then ride him forth a racking pace for an hour or more suffering him to fast after it two or three hours then sift him a pint of Beans and a quart of Oats after which let him have a knop of Hay sprinkled with warm water giving him every other day a Mash of Malt and water and four days after his taking the aforesaid dose let him blood and keep him exceeding warm and you will perceive the grease to come away in greater or lesser quantities proportionable to what is in the Horses body Mattering of the Yard how to cure it as also to prevent shedding of the Seed FOr the first take Roach-allum an ounce Whitewine Vinegar a pint and having dissolved the Allum in the Vinegar and made it lukewarm with a syringe force it into his Yard four or five times a day for three or four days together and it will cure the Rawness and bring away the cause of the grievance For the last take the herb Aramanthus the juice of Bistwort and Plantaine as also that of Comfery red wine and Hogs dung and boyl them together in Verjuice sweeten the liquid part with Sugarcandy or Mollossus and having given it him to drink ride him into cold water up to the belly and suffer him there to stand for an hour To cure the Melancholy in a Horse commonly called the Stagger or the Stavers an excellent Receipt THe Horse troubled with the aforesaid distemper must as soon as by his giddiness and heavy eyedness you perceive it be let blood and then take Hazel-nuts Butter and Salt of altogether to the quanty of a pound weight and having broken the Nut-shells put the kernels into the butter and salt when they are hot over the fire and add thereto half an ounce of Assa fetida and half a quartern of wine-vinegar into which well mixed put small raggs spunges or fine flax and with them so dipped stop his ears sewing them up to prevent his shaking them out and in twenty four hours the distemper will vanish For want of the former ingredients take bitter Almonds two ounces of Oxes Gall two drams the Roots of Black Helebore vulgarly called Bearsfoot an ounce dryed and pulverised the Grains of Castorum two drams Vinegar a quarter of a pint Varnish a spoonful and boyling them together put them into the Horses Ears stopping them close or for want of the aforesaid thing use Garlick bruised in Aqua-vitae Imposthumes their cause and cure IMposthumes are divers though in quality they little differ being for the most part generated of evil blood and gross humours the which at first cause swellings and if not then prevented turn to running and loathsome sores many times they are occasioned by unfortunate blows and sometimes by hurt received from strait Halters and Harness or taking cold the symptoms by which they may be discovered are by the much running of the Horses Ears and Eyes the heat in his Ears and Temples his unwillingness to be handled thereabouts and dullness and must if they be far gone be brought to a head and broke before they can be cured to perform which take the roots of Mallows and White Lillies of each three ounces bruise them well and mixing them with Hogs-grease and Linseed Meal boyl them well and upon Flax or Leather apply them plaisterwise to the place grieved and it will both ripen and break it Now there are hot and cold Imposthumes the cold one will not break so soon as the hot therefore when you find it is come to a head which you may perceive by its throbbing open it with a sharp hot Iron and let out the corruption To cure either hot or cold Imposthume when broken or opened take Dragons blood Gum Arabick Bees-wax Mastick Greek-pitch

of the Horse and stumbling without any visible Sorrance to rid him of which slit him upon the tip of the nose and with your Cornet take up the two great sinews which you shall perceive and cut them in sunder healing them up with oyntment of Earth worms or Marshmallows and he will not for the future be subject to stumble and indeed it is necessary that most young Horses be so served Another in the like case to be observed is when to prevent stumbling you slit the tip of some Horses noses between the nostrils you will find a white flat gristle which being taken up twist till you perceive him draw his hinderlegs close in a manner to his forelegs then with a sharp knife cut of the gristle and heal up the Incision with green oyntment The Colick its cause and cure THe Colick is occasioned by wind in the bowels and from thence it takes its name of Wind Colick causing terrible pains wringings and gripings which you may perceive by the Horses often striking at his belly with his hinder feet as also by his lying down tumbling beating with his feet and loathing or forsaking his meat To cure which take a quart of Whitewine four ounces of Fenegreek seed Bay berries and Pepper of each four ounces of Grains and Ginger each an ounce Water Cresses Sage Senegreen and Mint of each a handful bruise the herbs and beat the spices small in a Morter and having well boiled them in the wine strain them well and adding two spoonfuls of Hony or so much as will sweeten the liquor give it him pretty warm and so doing three mornings and evenings will expel the wind and make the pain to cease The Colt Evil its cause and cure THis distemper is as well subject to a Horse as a Gelding and to the Horse it happens through the extraordinary swelling of the Yard occasioned by too much windiness in the Sinews Arteries or pipe of the Yard which causes the Yard to swell extraordinarily or too much rankness of seed and to a Gelding for defect of natural heat to expell the seed generated to prevent which take the juice of Rhue mixed with Hony boyled in Hogs-grease with Bay leaves and powder of Fenegreek made into an oyntment and with it as warm as may be anoint the sheath If this fail twice thrice or four times using take the leaves of Bettony powder of the herb Anit and stamping them small mix with them Whitewine and anoint or lay them plaister-wise to the place grieved having first washed it clean with Vinegar made warm over a gentle fire as likewise his Cods and Yard and soon after ride him into deep water moving him to and fro to remove the heat of the Genitals till the swelling is abated or if you cannot get these things then put him to a Mare and afterward bathe his Cods and Yard with juice of Housleek Senegreen or the water wherein Rhue holm has been boyled but if through the hardness of the swelling the making water prove impossible or exceeding difficult give him a Drench made of new Ale and Black Sope and wash his Cods with butter and Vinegar made warm or the juice of Hemlock making a plaister of Bean flower and Bolearmoniack tempered with Vinegar or for want of them with wine lees stamped Housleek and Bran and apply it to his Cods and Sheath Consumptions in a Horse the cause and cure OF Consumptions there are two kinds the one a dry kind of a Malady and the other a Consumption of the Flesh the former being occasioned by violent heats and colds with excess of vitious corroding humours descending from the head and falling upon the Lungs known at first by a thin matter flowing from the nose which by degrees becomes gross and thick the which if not prevented will cause a leanness and decay of flesh making his belly become gaunt and clung as if he was famished forbidding the hair to fall off in due season and obliging him to continue a husking wheesing cough being a distemper difficult to cure if not taken in time The latter is a more particular Consumption and wasting of the flesh caused either by violent heats or immoderate labour watering your Horse when he is hot or negligence in the keeper in letting him stand after a journey wet and dirty To cure which take Horehound Wood-bettony Juniper berries Leeks Frankincense Bay-berries Brank-ursin Chian Dandelion of each a like quantity bruise them well and boyl them in a quart of Cannary till a fourth part be consumed then strain and press them well adding to the liquid decoction half a pint of Oyl Olive and pour it down his throat with a Drenching-horn for six days morning and evening or if the season permit you may give him a scouring and put him to grass and before you put him forth give him this Mash made of the broth of a Sheepshead boyled wooll and all and in it half a pound of clarified hony or for want of it Loaf-Sugar Cinamon Conserve of Roses Barberries and conserved Cherries of each an ounce and although he be abroad yet visiting him once a day give him this drink and afterward chase him to and fro for the space of half an hour but not too hard and give him water to drink wherein some Wheatflower or fine Bran has been scattered and if you perceive he mend not upon this then taking him up again give him often change of wholesome meats Mashes and warm waters and as you see occasion Cordial powder or Cordial balls and in a short time unless the distemper have too much consumed him he will return to his pristine strength and vigor The Cold or Poze in a Horses Head its cause and cure THis infirmity proceeds from gross humours and cold distillations according to the proportion of cold taken or moisture of the Brain if the cold be great upon search you will find great kernels under his chaule about the root of his Tongue but if new taken and small then little kernels 'T is a sign likewise that his cold is of no long continuance if he rattle in the head his eyes and nose venting thin mattery humours This cold may be likewise perceived by his holding down his head in the Manger his water when he drinks running out at the nose or between his teeth he chews slimy or nauseous stuff but if you perceive him void foul stinking and thick matter out of his nostrils and cough strongly then signifies it that the cold if not turned is turning to the Glaunders or consumption of the Lungs To cure it either new or old then take these directions Take Moss growing upon a fell'd Oak to the quantity of a handful root of Elecampanum green and sliced and a stick of green Liquorish boyl them in three pints of red Cows milk till the liquor be reduced to a pint and a half to which add a quarter of a pound of sweet butter an ounce of Treacle and

things used for the most part are burnt Allum Redcoral Mercury sublim Verdigrese and Copperas of either sort and often compounds as Unguentum Apostolorum Aegyptiacum Croceum c. Another sort of this kind there is called Medicines Putrefactive applied to swelling Tumours and the like to bring them to a head as roasted Sorrel White Lilly Roots Ground Ivy Butterflowers c.

IF the Hoof be perfect first pare the seat of the Shooe as even and plain as may be that the shooe sitting close may bear no more on the one side than on the other nor take more on the Toe than the Heel for the Heels must be higher than the Toes but by reason all the weight of the Horses fore part presses upon the quarters and heels of the fore feet those parts must be most regarded and as little of the Butteresses taken off as may be for the heels are naturally weaker than the toes but this is meant by the fore-feet only for the paring of the hinder-feet is quite contrary as will hereafter appear For the most exact method of shooing the perfect Hoof observe these following rules viz. Let your shooe be of Spanish Iron or other well tempered Iron the web broad fitting it to the Hoof the Spunges thick and more firm than any other part and somewhat broad that the quarters may stand somewhat beyond the Hoof to preserve the Coffin and pierce it from the quarter to the hard toe but not backwards towards the heel suffer the holes to be wider without than within that the pierced circle may be more distant from the edge of the toe than from the edge of the quarter because the Hoof is thicker forward than backwards thus having fitted the shoo take nails made of the same Iron the Heads square though not fully so broad beneath as above that the nails may fill up the holes and the shooe be kept from stirring suffering them to appear somewhat above the shooe and let the points appear in a just line not one lower than another or in and out like the teeth of a Saw and cut them off so near that when they are clinched by a little raising the Hoof with a Knife they appear to be within it but be sure ere the shooe is fastened with any more than two nails see it stand right by looking on the Frush and suffering the Horse to set his foot to the ground whilst you hold up the other with your hand and if the shooe stand but a little awry you may by striking the Hoof with
