on, it is an
infallible sign of her being not well and in good health; and then
Scouring is necessary first; which is done by _Aloes Cicatrine_, about
the quantity of a Pea wrapt up in her Meat; and this avoids Grease, and
kills Worms too.
_For the Cataract_: Take one Scruple of washt _Aloes_ finely beaten, and
two Scruples of _Sugar-candy_, mix these together, and with a Quill blow
it three or four times a day into your _Hawks_ Eye.
_Pantus_ or _Asthma_: Pour the Oyl of sweet _Almonds_ into a Chickens
Gut, well washt, and give it the _Hawk_: Or, scower him with
_Sallandine_-Pellets, and Oyl of _Roses_, and then wash his meat in the
Decoction of _Coltsfoot_.
_Filanders_ or _Worms_: To prevent them, seeing your _Hawk_ low and
poor, give her once a month a Clove of _Garlick_. To cure or kill them;
take half a dozen Cloves of _Garlick_, boil them very tender in Milk,
dry the Milk out of them; put them into a Spoonful of the best Oyl of
_Olives_, and having steept them all Night, give them both to your
_Hawk_, when she has cast, in the morning: feed him not till two hours
after, and then with warm meat, and keep him warm all that day.
_Lice_: Mail your _Hawk_ in some Woollen Cloth, put between his Head and
Hood a little Wool, and take a Pipe of Tobacco, put the little end in at
the Tream, blow the smoak, and the _Lice_ that escape killing, will
creep into the Cloth: _Probatum_.
_Formica_: Take a little of the Gall of a Bull, and beating it with
_Aloes_, anoint the Beak of the _Hawk_, Morning and Evening,
_Frounce_: Take the Powder of _Allume_, reduced to a Salve with strong
Wine Vinegar, and wash her mouth with it; then take Juice of _Lolium_
and _Raddish_, mixt with Salt, and anoint the Sore.
_Apoplex_: Gather the Herb _Asterion_, wash your Hawks meat with the
Juice thereof when you feed him.
_Wounds_: Take the Juice of _English Tobacco_, or _Mouse-ears_, after
you have sticht it up with a little Lint, bathe the place.
_Of BOWLING._
The first and greatest Cunning to be observed in _Bowling_, is the right
chusing your Bowl, which must be suitable to the Grounds you design to
run on, thus: For _close Alleys_, your best choice is the _Flat Bowl_:
2. For _open Grounds_ of Advantage, the Round-byassed-bowl. 3. For
_Green Swarths_, that are plain and level, the Bowl that is _Round as a
Ball_.
The next thing requires your Care is, the chusing out your Ground, and
preventing the Windings, Hangings,
