MANGE. 205 



red mang-e, the following- has been found sing-iilarly success- 

 ful :— 



No. 8. — Oxymuriate of quicksilver {corrosive \ c „ • 



sublimate) powdered } 



Sulphuretted potash {liver of sulphur) half an ounce 



Lime water 6 ounces. — Mix. 



The third variety requires a considerable difference in the 

 treatment. When the little spong-y openings, piercing the 

 cellular tissue, will admit of it, they should be injected by 

 means of a very minute syringe, with the wash No. 8. The

 will bear any of the regular mange applications. The best 

 means of doing this will be by anointing them with the fol- 

 lowing for a few days : — 



Superacetate, called sugar of lead 1 dram 



Spermaceti ointment 2 ounces. 



When the irritation is allayed, proceed with the ointment 

 No. 3, or alternate this with No. 6. 



Besides the fixed varieties, before described, mange puts on 

 different appearances in different subjects ; but they may be 

 all referred eventually to one or other of these heads. Nu- 

 merous domestic remedies are in use ; but, I believe, no one 

 article acts so favourably as several united. It may, perhaps, 

 not be too much to say, that the recipes already given will
