* 1.1 Another for Griping and Fretting in a Horses Belly.
First, blood him in the Mouth with your Cornet Horn, and give him a Pint or a Quart of Pork or Beef Brine cold, when you see occasion; After you have so done, strip up your Shirt as high as your Elbow, anoint your Hand and Arm with Sallet Oyl, Butter or Hogs-Grease▪ and put it into his Fundament, and draw forth as much of his hard and baked Dung as you can well get; Then take a good big angry red On••on and peel it, and Jag it cross-ways with your Knife, and Rowl it very well in Salt and Floure of Brimstone, and cover it all over with fresh Butter, and put it up into his Body as far as you can well thrust it, and Tie down his Tuel or Tail close between his Legs, to his Surcingle or Girts, and walk or Ride him about a quarter of an hour or more; then Untie his Tail, and you shall find he will purge freely; The excellency of this Receipt is, That it will cleanse his Maw and Guts, and Kill the Wormes within him; The next Morning you may give him a comfortable Drink warm, made of an Ounce of Horse Spice, boyled a little in a quart of strong Beer sweetned with either Hony or common Treacle. Or you may give him a Cordial of three Pints of strong Beer, with a Toast of Houshold Wheat bread crummed in it, and boyled together with a little Mace, and when you have taken it off the Fire, dissolve into it two or three spoonfuls of Honey, with a good big Lump of sweet Butter, and he will do well.
