Purgative Drink. 



Take — Castor oil, one ounce and a half; 



Common infusion of coffee, or gruel, two table

 the neck in a tub full of warm water for fifteen 

 or twenty minutes, which will, undoubtedly, do 

 much good in this as well as in all inflammatory 

 disorders, if the dog be properly dried after, and 

 kept tolerably warm ; but if this is not particularly 

 attended to, it will do more harm than good ; it 

 may be repeated twice a day for the first two days 

 of the disease.
