a dracbm of sulphate of iron and a half pound of salt every 

 day, for each large beast. 



Dr. Druitt recommends the tincture of the Sesqiiichloride 

 of iron, the Trisnitrate of Bismuth as a deodorizer of the ali- 

 mentary canal, and yeast in large quantities in addition to 

 those we have previously noticed. Fourteen out of twenty 

 Dutch bullocks were cured by Mr. J. Hutton through the 

 agency of ammonia and tonics. 



"Stimulants were administered as required. All the water used 

 for drinking was medicated with mineral acids, and the beasts fre- 

 quently washed with water impregnated with ammonia." 



Prescriptions have been confidently recommended by vete- 

 rinary chemists and doctors of medicine, of which we may 

 quote two specimens : 



Chlorate and nitrate of potash^ of each one ounce ; Hydrochloric 

 (muriatic) acid and powdered opium, each one drachm ; to be mixed 

 in a pint and a half of a decoction of linseed. 



Chlorate potash, common salt and nitre, each one ounce, to be dis- 

 solved in a pint of hot water, in which an ounce of dilute hydrochloric 

 acid has been mixed ; the dose to be administered in gruel, &c, 



Mr. Moffat's prescription consisted of: 



Chlorate of potash, three drachms, tartar emetic five grains, and 

 carbonate of iron, fifteen grains. 



Those of Mr. Crotch, M. A., Dr. Carr and Mr. Wilson 

 severally commending, 



the injection into the venous system of antiseptic and parasiti- 

 cide salts, of which the hyposulphite of soda, the permanganate of 

 potash and the perchlorate of soda are specified — the frequent wash- 

 ing of eyes, face, &c., with vinegar, and the internal administering of 

 a pint or more daily — a pint of fresh yeast, added to a like quantity 

 of beer, — ^put in two quarts ot gruel, and given three times a day ; — 



electricity, the electro-voltaic pile, cod liver oil balls ; 



bleeding to fainting, and giving a bottle of brandy to revive ; 

 calomel and fumigation with mercurial vapor ; prescriptions
