MANGE. 253 



rubbing the bone, or quill, charged with the virus, into the 

 wound. From the appearance of the wound, a few days after, I 

 was afraid the virus had not taken effect, but I have been told 

 that this slight appearance is usual.

MANGE, COMMON OR RED. 



RECIPE. 



Sulphur vivum . . . .4 ounces. 



Hellebore powder . . .2 ditto. 



Bay-berry powder . . .2 ditto. 



Spirits of turpentine . . .1 ditto. 



Hogslard (to form it into an ointment) . -f pound. 



The dog to be first washed with lime water ; and, 

 when dry, to be well rubbed with some of the oint- 

 ment on the parts affected. The washing and dress- 

 ing to be repeated every two days. 



Give the dog half a drachm of nitre and a drachm 

 of sulphur daily, for ten days. 



It will be best to keep the dog free from getting 

 very cold or wet during this process, which, by the 

 by, very rarely fails to cure in two or three applica- 

 tions. - 



The following is another remedy, during the pro- 

 gress of which dogs may be worked, or even go in 

 the water. The simple article required for this can 

 only be procured on the seacoast. 



Rub the parts affected every other day with the strongest 

 bitters, which are extracted from the salt, and are to be had 

 at the salt-urns, by the name of glauber. This kind of em- 

 brocation may be kept, for some time, in bottles, if wanted 

 to send inland.
