DISEASES! OF DOGS : THE MANGE. 339 



first recipes will alone be found particularly effica- 

 cious in curing the mange ; sometimes however, in 

 bad cases, it will be requisite to expedite the cure 

 by administering the alterative ball (No. 35, p. 341) 

 every day for some time ; and I think it adviseable, 

 in most cases, except those that are very slight, to 

 give an alterative ball every day for a week or 

 more, as thought proper.
