  abstract: Jonathan A. Hill, Bookseller, description: Second edition (1st ed.: Kyoto, 1760), of one of the most important Japanese works on equine acupuncture. Acupuncture has been used on animals in tradition Chinese medicine for thousands of years. By the 6th century, Buddhist priests brought knowledge of acupuncture as applied to both humans and animals to Japan and Korea. The practice spread widely and by the 18th century, there were several books on equine acupuncture published in Japan. In the Preface, the author recommends that both acupuncture and herbal medicines should be used to treat horses. The text describes how to insert the needles, and then Deidojin focuses on a series of illnesses: constipation; paralysis; respiratory problems; joint and muscle aches; swelling to the joints; boils and malignant tumors, problems of the eye, ear, nose, tongue, lips, and mouth; infections, lacerations, hemorrhoids, reproductive problems, undescended testicles, nose bleeds, vomiting blood, problems with hooves, how to treat horses after they eat poisonous weeds, lack of appetite, etc., etc. The author provides a number of recipes for medicines. Five of the full-page illustrations depict pressure points on the horse's body and each point is named. The sixth woodcut depicts a doctor administering medicine to a horse using a bamboo tube inserted into the horse's mouth. Fine copy and rare. WorldCat locates one copy of the first edition and no copy of our second edition.
