Of the cold in the head.
THe pose or cold in a horsse, is the most generall disease that hapneth, and [ 40] is the easiest perceiued, both by stopping, ratling in the nose, and cough∣ing,* 1.1 the cure thereof is in this sort: If it be but newly taken by some care∣lesse regard, and immediately perceiued, you shal need no other remedy but to keepe him warme euery Morning and Euening after his water, to ride him forth, and to trot him vp and downe very fast till his cold break, and then gently to gallop him a little, which moderate exercise with warme keeping will quickly recouer him againe; but if the cold hath had long residence in him, and still encreaseth, then you shall giue him this drinke three daies togither. Take of strong Ale one quart, of the best Treakle six penniworth, of long Pepper and graines, of each as much beaten to powder, [ 50] of the iuice of Garlicke two spoonefuls, boile all these togither, and giue it the horsse to drinke, so warme as he may suffer it, and then trotte him vp and downe by the space of an houre or more, and keepe him warme, giuing him to drinke no cold water.
