Of griefe in the breast.
LAurentius Russius writeth of a disease called in Italian Grauezza di petto, [ 10] which hath not beene in experience amongst our Ferrers, that I can learn. It coms, as Russius saith, of the superfluity of blood, or other humors dis∣solued by some extreame heat, and resorting down the breast, paining the Horsse, so as he cannot well go. The cure whereof according to Russius is thus. Let him bloode on both sides of the breast in the accostomed vaines, and rowell him vnder the breast, and twice a daye turne the rowells with your hand, to mooue the humours that they may yssue forth, and let him goe so roweled the space of fifteene daies.
