MANGE. 



This dlftemper is fo univerfally known 

 that a general defcription of its moft predomi- 

 nant features would be a very indifferent com- 

 pliment both to the time and underftanding 

 of the reader; fuffice it therefore to fay, a mere 

 fuperficial view of it inftantly conveys to the 

 fpedator a very flrong idea of general wretch- 

 ednefs. For furely nothing can convey it 

 Jlronger than exhausted nature finking 

 under a complication of difeafe and poverty. 

 And in this cafe fo true it is one misfortune 

 Jeldom comes alone^ that the latter feems in 

 combination to go hand in hand with this 

 diftemper wherever it makes an appearance.

 tion, it is very little {tzv\ amongll: horses of 

 any estimation: on the contrary, is almoft 

 entirely confined to the lower clafs of ftables 

 and proprietors.
