Another Clyster for Fevers.

Take a sufficient quantity of the emollient or softening Herbs, and Fennel-seed beaten, with an Ounce and a half of Sal-Polychrest, and two handfuls of whole Barley; boil 'em, and add to the strain'd Liquor Oil of Roses and Violets, of each four Ounces, Benedicta Laxativa, two Ounces, or extracted Cassia, three Ounces.

This Clyster evacuates the Impurities contain'd in the Intestines, and comforts the superiour Parts.

You may also rub your Horse against the Hair, to open the Pores, and let out the Fuliginous Vapours contain'd under the Skin.

I have observ'd some Horses cur'd by the use of these Remedies; and I have seen the same Medicines given to others without Success. When the Fever continues three Days without intermission, I lay aside the use of Remedies, and immediately order the Horse to be thrown upon the Dunghil; for I never observ'd in all my Practice, that any Horse escap'd after that fatal Period; tho' sometimes they linger out five or six Days longer; because during the three Days of the uninterupted con∣tinuance of the Fever the Liver is quite burnt and consum'd by the violence of the Heat, as it appears evidently by the Dissection of Horses that dye of a Fever.
