CAUSE AND CURE. This complaint is one affect- 

 ing lambs, and follows weaning, and is probably 

 owing to indigestion, and acids generating in the 

 stomach. It is nearly akin to grass-ill, and we are 

 not aware of any other remedy than the one re- 

 commended for that disease. When they are affected 

 with scouring, from twenty to thirty drops of laudanum 

 may be given with effect. 



JAUNDICE, OR YELLOWS. 



This complaint is not a common one amongst 

 sheep. It manifests itself by the white of the eyes 

 assuming a greenish-yellow cast, and their skin 

 being of a yellow tinge all over. This disease, as 

 in other animals, is caused by a diffusion of the bile 

 over the different parts of the body. Give the follow- 

 ing-- 

 Salt of tartar i drachm, 

 Epsom salts J ounce, 

 Bitter infusion . . I gill. 



The following has also been found effectual in re- 

 moving the complaint : 



Calomel ... 3 grains, 

 Jalap .... i drachm.
