59. ¶ Longe sought, and remedy therefore.
There is an nother maner of sycknesse among bestes, [Sidenote: ‘Long sought.’] and it is called longe soughte; and that sickenes wyl endure lo_n_g, and ye shal perceyue it by his hoystynge; he wyl stande moche, and eate but a littel, and waxe very 4 [Sidenote: The beast coughs 20 times an hour.] holowe & thin. And he wil hoyst .xx. times in an houre, and but fewe of them do mende. The best remedy is to kepe thy cattell in sondrye places, and as many as were in companye with that beast that fyrst fell sycke, to let 8 [Sidenote: [Fol. 36_b_.]] them a lyttel bloude. And there be many men, that can [Sidenote: Cut the dewlap.] seuer them, and that is to cutte the dewlappe before, and there is a grasse that is called feitergrasse, take that grasse, and broyse it a lyttell in a morter, and thanne put 12 therof as moche as an hennes egge in-to the sayd dewlappe, and se it fall not oute. Thus I have seen vsed, and men haue thought it hath done good.
60. ¶ Dewbolne,[28] and the harde remedy therfore.
[Sidenote: ‘Dewbolne.’] An other dysease amonge beastes is called dewbolne,[28] and that commeth whan a hungry beaste is put in a good pasture full of ranke grasse, he wyll eate soo moche that his sydes wyll stande as hygh as his backe-bone, 4 and other-whyle the one syde more thanne the other, and but fewe of them wyll dye; but he maye [Sidenote: The beast is swollen.] not be dryuen hastely, nor laboured, being so swollen, and the substaunce of it is but wynde; and therfore 8 he wolde be softly dryuen, and not sytte downe. Howe [Sidenote: Some men pierce a hole in the beast.] be it I haue seen a manne take a knyfe, and thruste hym thorowe the skynne and the flesshe two inches depe, or more, vi. inches or more from the ridge-bone, that the 12 [Sidenote: [Fol. 37.]] wynde maye come out. For the wynde lyeth bytwene the fleshe and the grete paunche.
61. ¶ Rysen vpon, and the remedy therfore.
[Sidenote: ‘Risen upon.’] An other dysease is called rysen vppon, and no man can tell howe, nor wherof it cometh: but ye shall perceyue that by swellynge in the heed, and specyallye by [Sidenote: The beast’s eyes run.] the eyen, for they wyll ronne on water, and close his 4 syght; and wyll dye shortly within an houre or two, if he be not holpen. This is the cause of his dysease. There is a blyster rysen vnder the tounge, the whiche blyster must be slytte with a knyfe a-crosse. Whan ye 8 [Sidenote: Find the blister under the tongue, and cut it.] haue pulled out the tongue, rubbe the blyster well with salte, and take an hennes egge, and breake it in the beastes mouthe shell and all, and cast salte to it, and holde vp the bestes heed, that all maye be swalowed 12 downe into the body. But the breakynge of the blyster is the greate helpe, and dryue the beaste a lyttell aboute, and this shall saue hym, by the helpe of Jesu.
