"We close this division of our subject by strenuously 

 impressing on the minds of the agi-iculturists, that all 

 specific nostrums must be avoided, if they are anxious 

 to diminish the losses arising from an outbreak of this 

 direful scourge. The principles which we would lay 

 down for their guidance are, to isolate the infected 

 sheep from the healthy, — to separate the former into 

 small lots, — to protect them from atmospherical 

 changes, — to husband the strength of the patients by 

 good nursing, — to use depletive remedies with the 

 greatest caution, and only in the first stages, — to have 

 early recourse to stimulating and tonic agents, — to 

 guard against the use of local applications except 

 when ulcerous sores exist, — and last, but not least, to 

 call in the services of a properly educated veterinary 

 surgeon, and rely with confidence on his judgment 

 and skill.
