For Swelledor Garded▪L••gs, whether by Grease or other A cident.

If your Horses Legs be Swelled, only because the Grease is fallen into them and there is no other outward Ulcer, neither will the Ba∣thing with cold Fountain water, and other ordinary helps asswage them, then take a Pottle of Wine Lees, or else take the Grounds of strong Ale or Beer, and boyl it with a pound of Hogs-grease, then with as much Wheat-Bran as will thicken it▪ make thereof a Poultess, and ha∣ving made him a Hose of Woollen Cloth, fill it with this Poultess as hot as he can suffer it, then close up the Hose and let it abide two days; the third day open the Hose at the top, but stir not the Poultess, but put in hot Moulten Grease to it whilst it will receive any, for that will renew the strength thereof, then close it as you did before, and let him stand

two or three days longer, then open the Leg and rub it down; and if you find occasion, you may apply another; if not, the Cure is wrought.

Now, if besides the Swelling, he hath Ulcers, Chops and Sores, then apply the Poultess, as before shewed; And after a Week Application, take a quart of old Urine, and put to it half a handful of Salt, as much Allum, and half an Ounce of white Copperas, boyl them together, and with it wash the Sore once or twice a day, then after a little drying, anoint them with the Oyntment called Aegyptiacum, and is made of Vi∣neger eight Ounces, of Honey twelve Ounces of Verdegrease two Oun∣ces, of Allum one Ounce and a half, and boiled to the height, till it come to a red Salve, and it will both kill the Malignant Humours, and heal and dry up the Sores.
