* I think it proper to express my thanks for an amendment to this 

 recipe in the " Sporting Magazine,'' which, I am proud to see,

" The medical advice in the diseases of dogs is rational, but we 

 would not advise any one to depend on the Turpeth mineral, as a 

 cure for madness." [This is Mr. Beckford's remedy, and merely

 be omitted, and the quantity of vinegar doubled. Distilled vinegar, 

 decomposing the lead entirely, makes the neatest, if not the most 

 efficacious medicine."
