190 DISEASES OF ANIMALS. ^ l" (IVCU^ ^ 



Remedy. Half a pint or a pint of hot drops is safe 

 and sure. 



Another. A pint of linseed oil, with half an ounce 

 of laudanum. 



Another. Give exciting clysters, and aromatics, such 

 as sage, pennyroyal, peppermint, or other warming tea, 

 in liberal doses. 



Another. Take a quart of warm water, add half a

WARTS, WENS AND TUMORS. 



Mix tar and salt, and apply them ; continue the prac-

 success,) from learning that a boy had many warts 

 cured on his hands by sorting brass nails, from the 

 influence of the copper in the brass. Neither the cut-

LOSS OF CUD. 



The food of cattle and sheep, and other rumiriating 

 animals, is returnei from the stomach to the mouth, to 

 undergo a second grinding. The loss of cud is only
