230 Core — Room and Air, 



of the horse, is deemed incurable. The 

 best cure, to fatten for the table. The 

 CORE, a hard substance of a yellowish 

 colour mixed with red, and resembing the 

 core of an apple, is sometimes found in the 

 anus or vent, and has been known in the 

 aesophagus, or gullet of a pigeon. This 

 will ripen and maturate, and may be then 

 discharged, dissected, or drawn out. A 

 purge of a very small quantity of tobacco 

 is directed in this case, but on what grounds 

 I am not informed. 



In keeping poultry of all kinds, it ought 

 to be a first consideration that there be 

 sufficient room and air for the number 

 kept ; otherwise, they will be, in the vulgar 

 phrase, stenched, that is, infected by the 

 impurity of their own atmosphere, and be- 

 come, in consequence, subject to frequent 

 mortality.
