FOUL-WATER. A ship is said to make foul water, when, being under sail, she comes into such shoal water, that though her keel do not touch the ground, yet it comes so near it, that the motion of the water under her raises the mud from the bottom.
FOUL is also a disease in cattle, proceeding from blood, and a waterish rheum that falls down into the legs, and makes them swell.
FOUL or Pimples Face. See GUTTA Rosacea.
