To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Generally, however, some gruel will suffice, when aided by a warm box and the other comforts which are afforded by the groom, including dressing > clothing, bandaging, &c. BLOWS on the legs are reduced by hot fomentations, continued for half an hour at a time, and repeated at intervals of one, two, or three hours, in proportion to the severity of the mischief. Cold applications are too apt to relieve the skin and cellular membrane beneath it at the expense of the joints, and I have never seen t...hem of much service. Nothing, I believe, is so valuable in all blows received in the hunting-field as hot fomentation, but it should be thoroughly carried out, and not done by halves, as it too often is by careless grooms. It no doubt has a tendency to increase the swelling for a time, but in doing this the blood is drawn to the surface, and internal mischief is often prevented. I have had young horses come home with their knees and shins terribly bruised over timber and stone walls, but though the fomentation with hot water has enlarged the knees to a frightful size, there has been no lameness on the next day; and the swelling has gra- dually disappeared, leaving the joints as free as ever at the expira- tion of forty-eight hours.
