For this Distemper, Take Sloes dryed in an Oven, but not too much; beat them into powder, and give the Beast warm in Wine-Vinegar, two Ounces of it in a Pint, and keep hm fasting a considerable time after; then give him a quarter of a pound of Rasins, and sower Grapes, in a quar of the sharpest White-wine, and bruise them so that you may easily swallow them; and let the Beast browze on green Boughs, such as are sweet and wholsome; and if it stay not in, a little time after this is received, burn him in the sore-head; a little beneath the Horns, and slit his Ear and Lip, anoynting them with Oyl and Tar, to keep the Wounds from putrifying, and after wash it with Urine.
