XI. For the Garget in the Maw. (Book 11)
FOr the Garget in the Maw, you may perceive it by their drooping and
hea∣viness in their Head, and hanging down their Head and Ears, their Heart
will beat very sore, and many times they will be very Costive in their
Body, and will not eat any thing, but sit continually.
The Cure.
Let them Blood in the Neck-Veine, and let them bleed very well, and
then draw your Cord, and take Rhue, Plan∣tane, Southernwood, Wormwood,
Shep∣herds-purse, Smalledge, Calewort, if you can conveniently get them, or
the most part of them, every one half a handful, bruise them very small,
and take a handful of Hens-dung, and lay it in steep in a Pint of old Wash
eight Hours, and then strain forth the Hens-dung, and put the Herbs and the
Wash together, and put a full quart of

strong Ale to
the Herbs and Wash, and set them on the Fire, and boyl the one half away,
and then strain them over again and put in an ounce of Treacle, a spoonful
of the Juice of Garlick, and some Anniseeds, and some Liquoris-powder,
blend all to∣gether and give to the Beast Milk-warm. This is special good
for the Murrain, or for any Garget or Long-sought whatsoever, it will cure
them by Gods help. Approved
