The Code of Health and Longevity

100 APPENDIX. zard of Parklane's head hoftler, known by the name of Fozzard's Joe, made ten miles in fifty-feven minutes, at forty years of age. He was however beat on Sunbury Common, by a Warwickfhire man, who walked the laft 500 yards in at the race, which was ten miles an hour. Joe was in a fecond within the time. It was a moft ful- try day, and the runners muft have been very much ex- pofed to the duft of 500 horfemen, who were prefcnt. Four miles have been run at York, two years ago, in twenty minutes and nineteen feconds. They are famous in Yorklhire for running,, but the Lancafhire men are the beft fhort-racers, being continually in pradlice. A curi­ ous fa£l: is, that in racing, for the firft 200 or 300 yards one feels very much diftreffed, after that a fecond wind comes, which lafls until one is fpent with bodily fatigue. A quarterof a mile may be run about a fecond or two under the minute, and the half mile in two miuutes ; one mile a quarter of a minute under the five. Two miles has been done under ten minutes. 100 yards has been done under ten feconds. Common emetics are given, fuch as ipecacuanha. Peffons trained, are generally collive. To keep clear of griping pains, no vegetables are given, which are of an opening quality : for the fame reafon pork and veal are avoided. The Ikin always* becomes quite clean in training, even although formerly fubjed to eruptions. Mode of feeding pofi-horfes. —Half a bufliel of oats each day, on an average, generally as much as they can eat; but very little hay, which is reckoned bad for the wind. Beans are given, though heating, on account of the horfes being fo much expofed, and liable to be ne- gle£led in the ftable. But for hunters, fine white peafe are much preferable, being lefs heating. Even deer are fed well on white peafe. Additional
