WARBLES, W0R:\IS, &c. 



Are small tumors, which, in the spring of the year 

 and in summer, appear in various parts of the body 

 of neat cattle. They are occasioned by the bite of a 

 gadfly, which punctures a small hole in the back of 

 horned catile, and deposites its eggs. These, being 

 speedily hatched by the heat of the animal's body, a 

 small tumour arises, containing a grub, or maggot, 

 which inflames the part, and thereby causes matter to 

 form. In process of time, this abscess bursts, and 

 discharges the maggot, wiiich now soon becomes a 

 fly ; that, in due time, deposites its eggs on the skin 

 of the animal, like its parent. 



Cure. — The usual way of curing the warbles, is to 

 pull off the scab that covers the tumor : and pour a 

 few drops of black od, made according to the follow-

 in readiness, a little spirits of turpentine may be ap-
