ENSTASIS, in the writers of medicine, a term ufed to exprefs the ingrefs of molecuke into the vacuity of the pores, which obftruct them, and thereby caufc difeafes. It is a word fami- liar with Erafiftratus and Afclepiades, who was a follower of Democritus, and taught that moft difeafes were caufed by fuch an ingrefs of matter into the pores. Thus Afclepiades defined a phrenfy to be fuch an Enjiafis in the membranes of the brain. Plutarch, in his precepts of health, alfo mentions this Eujlafts ; and Galen, and Caffius, who is fuppofed to have been of the feci: of the rationalifts, exprefTes the fame fenfe by the fame word. ENTABLER, in the manege, is faid of a horfe wbofe croupe goes before his moulders, in working upon volts : For, in the regular manege, one half of the moulders ought to go before the croupe. Thus we fay, your horfe entables ; for, in working to the right, he has an inclination to throw himfelf upon the right heel ; which fault you may prevent, by taking hold of the right rein, keeping your right leg near, and re- moving your left leg as far as the horfe's fhoulder. A horfe cannot commit this fault without committing that called Acu- ler, but Aculer may be without Entailer. See Aculer.

ENTALIUM, the Pipe Shelly in the materia medica, a fhell of the fame genus with the dent alt a, being a fpecies of the tu~ bull mar int. It is frequent in the Ealt Indies, and fomctimes is found on our own fhores. The virtues afcribed to it are the fame with thofe of the dcntalium ; but neither of them have any title to more than thofe of alkaline abforbents, like the other teftaceous powders. ENTASIS, Dijlention, a word ufud in various fenfes, by dif- ferent authors in medicine, but by moft applied to the parts of generation: And thence entqtica were medicines, in what- ever form, meant as provocatives.

ENTHEAMATA, in the antient writers of medicine, a word ufed to exprefs fuch medicines as were immediately put into large frefh wounds, to flop the hemorrhage, and prevent in- flammation, or other bad confequences. ENTHETOS, in the writings of the old phyficians, a name given to certain applications intended to be thruft up the no- ftrils to ftop haemorrhages. ENTIER, in the manege, is ufed for a fort of refty horfe, that refufes to turn, and is fo far from following, or obferv- ing the hand, that he refills it. If your horfe is Entier, and refufes to turn to what hand you will, provided he flies, or parts from the heels, you have a remedy, by putting theNew- caftle on him; that is, a caveflbn, made after the Duke of Newcaftle's way.

The word is French, and is alfo ufed among them to denote a ftone horfe. ENTIERTIE, from the French entier, is ufed in our law- books in contradiftinetion to moiety, and denotes the whole. Thus a bond, damages, &c. are faid to be entire, when they cannot be divided or apportioned. ENTORSES, iu the manege. See Pastern. ENTRANCE of Hounds, a phrafe ufed by our fportfmen to exprefs the inftrticYion of thefe creatures in the art of hunting.

■ They are faid to be enter'd when they are thoroughly taught this.

The time of entering of hounds, is when they are feventeen or eighteen months old, they are then to be taught to take the water and fwim ; they are to be led abroad in the heat of

■ the day, to enure them to fatigue and excrcife, and they muff. be frequently led through flocks of fheep, and warrens, to ufe

them to be under command* and to know that they R ffl to run at nothing but what the huntfman orders, They muft be carefully inftructed each to know his own name; and to underftand the voice of the huntfman, and the notes of the horn ufed in the hunting, and finally to ufe their own voiced m a proper manner.

The beft time of entering them is about noon, and it fhoultl be in a fair warm day, for if they be entered in the morning, they will give out when the heat of the middle'of the day comes on. Take the moft advanced, that the game may not ftand long before them, and let them be well rewarded when all is over. This ought to be repeated at leaft once a

r C fH *£ r > tW ° m0Uths ruccejrwel )' i b y ^is means they will be fo fiefli d and feafoned with what game you enter them at, that they will never afterwards leave off the purfuit. The new hounds fhould always be entered with the beft and ftauncheft hounds that can be had, and there is not to be one barking dog fuffercd in the field on this occafion. Whatever chacc the hounds are intended for, the hare is the belt game to enter them at, becaufe, in this chaCe, they will learn all the turns and doubles that they can poffibly meet with many other kind, and how to come to the hollo. They will learn alfo, from this chace, to have a perfect and nice fceht, and hard feet* by being ufed to highways, beaten paths, and dry hills. The hounds, when firff. entered, muft have all the advantages given them that can be. When the hare is put up from her form, it muft be obferved which way Hie went, and the fcent muft be left to cool a while, and theri they muft be laid in and helped, as much as can be, by wind, view, hollow, or pricking the paflage ; nor will it be amifs, for the firft time, to give them a hare tired the fame morning in her courfe.

Care muft be taken that they hunt fair and even, without lag- ging behind, ftraggling on either fide, or running wildly a-head, and if any of them ate found faulty this way, they are to be beaten back into the pack, and forced to fmell the fcent among the reft.

The fame is to be done if they refufe to ftrike upon a default, but run on babling and yelping without the fcent ; by doing which they draw away the reft of the dogs, till fome of the cider ones take it : Then let them be cherifh'd with horn and hollos. If any of the young whelps truft more to their own fcents than to the reft of the pack, and are, in confequence of this, thrown behind, and after this work out the default by their own nofes, and come to hunt juft and true, they muft, m this cafe, have all manner of encouragement and afli fiance, and be left to work it out at their own pace ; for fuch dogs as thefe can never prove bad ones, if they are not fpoiled by the over haftinefs and indifcretion of their mailers. A little patience in the huntfman, and their own experience, willfoon bring the(e to be the leaders of the pack.

When the hare is killed, the dogs muft not be allowed to break her up, but they muft be beaten ofF, and fhe is to be fkinn'd and cut to pieces by the huntfman, and the young hounds muft be rewarded with the pieces.

Some are of opinion, that the beft way to enter young hounds is to take a live hair, and trail her upon the ground, fome- times one way, and fometimes another, and then to draw her off to a convenient diftance, and hide her, that the dogs, taking the fcent, may follow all the traces through which Ihe was drawn, and, at length, find her.

The huntfman ought very well to underftand the nature and difpofition of his hounds, in finding out the game ; for fome hounds are of that temper, that when they have found the fcent, they will run forward with it, not making any noile, nor fhew of the tail ; others, when they have found a head, will fhew the game, and fome, having found the footings of the beaft, will prick up their ears a little, and either bark, or only wag their ears, or the hinder part of their bodies. This difference of natural difpofition the huntfman is particularly to obferve in the young and newly enter'd pack, otherwife he will never underitand them, nor ever be able to hunt them to any credit or advantage.

Some hounds cannot keep the fcent when they have it, but wander up and down, and hunt counter, taking up any falfe fcent ; and there are others which cannot hunt, either by fcent or foot, but only in the fight of the game. This would make very uncertain work of the chace, if a whole pack were fuch ; but where it is only a few, the reft fet them. right.

For entering the hound at hart or buck, he mould be in the prime of greafe, for then he cannot ftand up, or hold the chafe fo long. The foreft pitched upon fhould have all the relays at equal diftances, as nearly as may be ; but then the young hounds ftiouid always have fome old fiaunch ones to enter them, and they fhould be led to the fartheft and laffc relay, and the hart, or buck fhould be hunted to them. Be- ing come up, the old hounds fhould be uncoupled, and when they have found the hart, and well enter'd the cry, then the young ones arc to be uncoupled alfo, and if any of them are found to lag behind, they muft be whipped and beaten for- ward.

In whatever place the hart is killed, the neck fhould be im- mediately flay'd, and the hounds rewarded ; for it is beft al- io H ways
