Cattle are fubject to a variety of difeafes, which it is impofTible to confider in 

 any full or latisfactory manner in a work of this nature j but a few remedies that 

 have been found beneficial in particular cafes may be here mentioned in addition 

 to thofe already noticed. 



In cafes of obftinate fcourings, much advantage may be derived from a ftrong- 

 decoction of common chalk, hartmorn-fhavings and caflla, in the proportion of 

 halfa pound of the fir ft to four ounces of the fhavings, and one ounce of the 

 caflia ; boiling them in two quarts of water to three pints; the lafT articles being; 

 put in towards the clofe of the operation : to this may be added, when cold, a 

 pint of lime water and two drams of the tincture of opium. The whole being 

 well mixed in a bottle, two or three good horn-fulls may be given twice or three 

 times in the courfe of the day. 



In the Yellows, which is a difeafe to which eows are very fubject, advantage has 

 been found from the ufe offoap in the quantity of about one ounce, given once or 

 twice a day, diffblved in a quart of the ufual cordial drench, a little warm, 

 keeping the animal confined, and ufing warm mafhes and warm water occasionally. 



Where there is a difcharge of bloody urine y great relief has been derived from a 

 ftrong decoction of oak or Peruvian bark, in which a fmall proportion of alum has 

 been diflblved; two or more horn-fulls being adminiftered twice or three times irt 

 the day. 



The Foul is a difeafe in the feet of cattle, often proceeding from hard driving 

 from a diftance. After cleaning the parts, and wholly difcharging the matter 

 ifermedin the claws, they mould be drefled with fome mild digeftive application, , 

 and be kept perfectly free from dirt, gravel, or other extraneous fubftances. 



The Garget is a difeafe frequently affecting the glands of the udder with hard 

 fwellings. It often arifes from the cows not being clean milked, and may bfe 

 removed by anointing the part twice a day with a little ointment compofed of 

 camphor and blue ointment ? half a dram or more of calomel being given in 

 warm beer from a horn for three or more mornings if the difeafe be violent. 



In frefh wounds, nothing further is neceflary than keeping the parts clean and 

 well covered from the air, previoufly drawing the fkin over as much as poflible. 



Sbeep. The great value and importance of this animal in its flefh, fleece and 

 other products which it affords, is well known. As there are but few farms on 

 which flieep cannot be kept with advantage in fome intention or other, fuch as for
