This discharge is generally of such a sharp and acrid property, that the violent itching it occasions, keeps the poor object in a state of incessant misery; for when the disorder is far advanced, the time is so constantly appropriated to the indispensible office of rubbing, (for the attainment of temporary relief,) that very little is afforded to the purpose of subsistence, should pasture be furnished in plenty; which, with such unfortunate and unprofitable subjects, is very rarely the case. The first step to cure, is to alter and enrich the _property_ of the _blood_, by altering the aliment to a more nutritious and invigorating kind than it was before. In a week or ten days, when the frame is in a perceptible degree improved, a first bleeding may take place, followed by such antimonial alteratives, as may be found best adapted to the complexion of the case. Many instances there are, where, from long standing, and great malignancy, mercurial solutions, or vitriolic lotions, become so indispensibly necessary, that a cure cannot be perfectly insured without. When the system is in a certain degree restored, and visibly rising superior to the depredating effects of disease, _bleeding_ may be repeated, and _antimonial powders_ in mashes nightly administered, till indications of certain recovery appear, when a course of mild mercurial physic should be proceeded upon, that no doubt of obliteration may be entertained. SWAINMOTE—is a peculiar court, appertaining solely to the LAWS of a _forest_, and held three times within the year. In this court the VERDERERS preside in the official capacity of Judges; for although the Warden, or his deputy, may take their seats in the court, they have no judicial authority there. The court of Swainmote may enquire of offences, receive informations, and proceed to conviction; but judgment is not within the limits of this court; their province extends no farther than to _hear_ and _convict_; judgment cannot be given but from the judgment-seat, where the JUSTICE in EYRE presides as chief officer; and all associated with him, are called Justices of the Forest. This court being a COURT of RECORD, can fine and imprison for offences within the forest; and therefore if the judgment is conceived erroneous, the record may be removed by _writ_ of _error_ into the Court of King's Bench.
