heated well in with a hot Iron is marvellous good keep him out of the Water for a week after till you see him go well This Sope and Brandy-wine is an absolute cure for a Strain newly taken or new

Sope and Brandy and it will take it quite down Proved CX How to boyl the Charge of Sope and Brandy to a Salve THis Sope and Brandy when you are to boyl them let them boyl till they come to a white Salve then lay it on hot with a flat stick alwaies when you dress a Beast this is how to boyl it and make the Charge It will make a Horse swell much but within three or four daies after it hath taken its course it will fall as flat as may be For all these lamenesses the Beast must stand in for four or five daies you need not take above a quarter of a pint of Brandy and a pennyworth of Crown-sope For a Horse that is cast in a Ditch and is much swelled and bruised aboue the Head and Body with beating of himself Let blood in this case first in those Veins where you see most cause and let him blood as discretion shall teach you and then apply the Charge of Crown-sope and Brandy-wine hot all over the swelling with a flat stick and heat it well in with a hot Iron and let him stand in the house the time of his cure and you shall find it to be a very perfect and ready cure Proved CXI For a Swelling that comes by reason of Wind or Cold getting into the Wound how to take it away whether it be in the Head or any part of the Body IF the swelling in the Head cause a thick film over the Eyes then follow the directions under written If the swelling comes by reason of Wind or Cold getting into the wound to take out the heat and rankness of the swelling you must anoint it all over with an ounce of the Oyntment of Populeon or more if the swelling be great anoint it twice a day at first and as it falls fewer times will serve in the mean time do nothing to the wound till the swelling be almost gone when the swelling is almost gone or down wash the wound with Chamberlye and Salt or

Populeon it may be you shall see your Beast to have lost his sight by reason of some thick film that hath covered his Eyes For Remedy when you have first taken down the swelling do thus Slit a little hole upon the bone of the Cheek with a sharp pointed Penknife and then put in your Cornet-horn and work up the point thereof between the skin and the flesh close up to the Eye then take a little bit of new Canvass and cut it three square and roul it up round the length of your Thumb mix some Salt and fresh Butter together and strow some Salt upon the Butter although the Butter be salt and spread it on both sides the Canvass then roul it up round and thrust it up into the hole and there let it be over it lay a little piece of Canvass with some Burgundy Pitch spread upon it to keep out the cold and wind and it will draw and drain the Eye very clean and clear this being done put a little piece of fresh Butter with a corn or two of Salt into the Eye and put in a piece of Butter into the hollow

remedy it in a short time Let blood in the Temple-vein for a hot Rheum and likewise when a Horses eye-sight fails with hard riding or much straining nevertheless you must strike the fleme cross the Vein and then the Rheum will stop and the Vein will knit up of it self this is a main means to stop a hot Rheum that comes down to a Horses Eye when you let a Horse blood on this Vein at any time you must cord him about the Neck and when he hath bled as much as you think good to keep the cold and wind out of the Vein you should do well to pitch and flock it For a hot Rheum hard riding or over-much straining Give this Drink fasting to clear the Stomack and cleanse the Blood and Lights viz. one ounce of Turmerick half a quarter of Aquavitae or Brandy two or three spoonfuls of Whitewine Vinegar a
