IF your Hawk hath the Frownce, it proceeds from moist and cold Humors, either from the Throat, Stomach, or Liver, and thereby lose their Appetite, and can't close their Clap. It is called the Eagles Bane, as being commonly the cause of her death. The usual Signs of it are, her Mouth will be continually furr'd and frothed with white, and her Tongue swoln; and if it pro∣ceed from the Throat, it may be seen and drest: And then do thus; Take a Sawcer of good Whitewine-Vinegar, put therein three or four Red Sage-leaves, and boil them pretty well; then take a little Powder of Burnt-Allom, which put into it, suffering it to boyl a walm or two, and so put it into a Vial, and keep it for your use.
If you find the Frownce to be Rank, Take the Flower of Brimstone a small quantity, tye it close in a Linnen-Cloth, and let it infuse in Vine∣gar four and twenty hours; then strain into the Vinegar as much of the Juice as you can get out. Having thus made the Medicine, cut or pare off with a sharp Knife, or a Pair of Scissers, which you find most convenient, the Scale of the Frownce to the quick, and with the tip of the Feather lay thereon two or three drops of the Vinegar made luke-warm in a Spoon. Do the like the second day, and afterwards but once in three days. Keep your Hawks Mouth open with your Finger for some time, after you have touched the Sore place with the Vinegar, that she swallow it not down.
If the Frownce be very foul, so that it is as big as a Nut; then it must be slit with your Incision Knife, and afterwards cut all out, cleans∣ing the Blood away with a clean Cloth; then a∣noint the Sore with Balm, and afterwards with Popelion.
If the Frownce proceed from the Stomach, Stones and Casting will soon discover that, and recover her.
If it lye in the Liver, there is no way more certain than to give her Stones out of Sorrel-Water, and some of the Water with them; give it also with the Meat you feed her with, which must be such as is easie of Digestion. Her Gorges should also be easie and often.
If you infuse into the Sorrel-Water a thin slice or two of Rhubarb, it is excellent to cool all the Inflamations of the Liver in a short time, and to set her sound and right; but not without due care and ordering, for a Neglect will endanger her, and create new Troubles.
