Of a Malander.

*A Malander is a kinde of scab growing in the forme of lines, or strokes, o∣uerthwart the bent of the knee, and hath long haires with stubborne rootes, like the bristles of a Bore which corrupteth and cankereth the flesh, like the rootes of a child as scabbed head: and if it bee great it will make the Horse to go stiffe at the setting forth, and also to halt. This dis∣ease proceedeth sometime of corrupt bloode, but most commonly for [ 20] lacke of cleane keeping, and good rubbing. The cure according to Martin, is thus. First wash it well with warm water, then shaue both haire and scab clean away, leauing nothing but the bare flesh, whereunto lay this plaister. Take a spoonefull of Sope, and as much of lime: mingle them together, that it may be like paast, and spread as much on a clout as will couer the sore, and binde it fast on with a list, renewing it euery day once the space of two or three daies, and at the three dayes end, take away the plaister and annoint the sore with oyle of Roses made lukewarme, and that shall fetch away the crust▪scurfe, bred by meanes of the plaister, which being taken away, wash the sore place well euery day once with his owne stale, or else with mans vrine, and then immediately straw vpon it the pow∣der of burnt oystershels, continuing thus to do euery day once, vntill it be whole.
