form as in the Auman itch, I do not know; once I 
faw a fcabbed fheep wafhed with human urine, the 
confequence whereof was, that in a day or two the 
feab fpread fo far as the fkin was wetted with the 
urine. The ufual remedy is tobacco, fteeped in wa- 
ter (called fhab-water) with fome oil or fpirit of tur- 
pentine added thereto, and the aggrieved part wafhed 
therewith. N.B, The tobacco often bought for 
this purpofe has very little virtue in it, therefore the 
water can be but very weakly impregnated with its 
qualities; on which account, it feems to follow, that 
tobacco-water has little or nothing to do in the cure; 
but allowing it to be an ufeful ingredient towards a 
cure, it fhould -feem moft reafonable to ufe the 
ftrongeft tobacco that could be procured, as there 
muf{t be moft virtue therein, whatever that virtue be. 
But as it is always ufed with oil or fpirit of turpen- 
tine, it feems to me probable that the turpentine is 
the fpecific, properly lowered down with water ac- 
cording as the cafe may require.. Iam juft now in- 
formed by a farmer, that his fhepherd gets ftrong 
tobacco and flower-fulphur, and boils in the meat- 
brine, and afterwards puts into it fome oil or fpirit 
of turpentine; ufing it without any water, and by 
applying it in fmall quantities, finds it effectual. He 
does not know the proportion of the ingredients; but 
this may be gueffed at, or found by experiments.
