ON THE MANGE. 439 



method of cure is fo fimilar to that of furfeit, 

 that I have no need to repeat it, nor is any 

 reader ignorant that brimflone, whether inter- 

 nally, or externally, is here the grand fpecific. 



In a (light cafe, ftrong tobacco infufion (fee 

 Index) with one third ftale urine, foaked well 

 into the affected places, may fucceed ; but as 

 an efhcacious unguent, take the following : 

 ftrong mercurial un6lioii, half a pound; brim- 

 ftone finely powdered, four ounces ; black foap, 

 two ounces ; crude fal armoniac, an ounce and 

 half; make the ointment with oil of bays, or of 

 turpentine : Or, Tar, gunpowder finely beaten, 

 black foap, and oil of turpentine. In cafes of 

 long fl:artding, where the ulcerations are fo ex- 

 tremely foul, or, if you will, the animalcules, 

 fo fi:rong and vigorous as to refifl: all moderate 

 applications, the following ointment may be 

 ventured : burnt allum and borax, in fine pow- 

 der, two ounces each ; white vitriol and verdi- 

 greafe, powdered, of^ each four ounces ; put 

 them into a pot over the fire with two pound of 

 honey, or lard and honey, equal parts, ftirring 

 till they are well incorporated ; when cold, add 

 two ounces ftrong aquafortis. But I fliould 

 conceive the firft ointment equal to almoft 

 every cafe, which being ufed at night, the fores, 

 if need be, may be waftied twice a day with the 

 fublimate water. Take half an ounce of fub- 



limate.
