But where thirty or forty are kept together in a clofe ftable, where the air has no accefs but by the door, together with the fharp exhala- tions from the urine, perfpiration of their bodies, &c. it renders the fituation difagree- able, and a!mod intolerable. A horfe in health, to remain long in fuch a place, would fdon be enervated and unfit for bufi- nefs. Stables mould be fituated where the air may have a draught through them ; and in every horfe's apartment a fmall window mould be placed, and left open through the night, and not fhut ap to fuffocate its inhabitants, as too frequently is the cafe in fea-port towns. I mail now difcourfe upon the principal general diforders, to which horfes are inci- dent ; next of local difeafes, which will be connected with thofe of furgery.
