 times, allowing one day's interval between each 

 dofe. This will drive out the diforder; and then 

 the firft mixture is to be rubbed on the diftem- 

 pcred parts; and two days afterwards the fecond 

 mixture, and fo on alternately for eight or ten 

 days, 'till the cure is effected. Sometimes two 

 rubbings will be fufficient. 



The only objection to this mode of cure is, 

 that it is compound, troublefome, and rather ex- 

 penfive. This certainly has weight, becaufe where 

 a large number of fheep are affected, it could not 

 eafily be practifed. On this account fome perfons 

 have adopted the following method of treating the 

 difeafe, and with fuccefs alfo: 



Take half an ounce of good corrofive fubli- 

 mate, and diffolve it in two quarts of rain water, 

 to which add a common gill glafs of fpirits of 

 turpentine. When the fheep is (truck, make a 

 circle round the maggots with fome of the water, 

 dropping it out of a bottle. This will prevent 

 their getting away and hiding themfelves among 

 the wool. Then drop a little among them, and 

 rub it about with the finger, which will prefently 

 kill them.
