^ Concerning the Madnefi <?/ Dogs, and their 

 Venomous Bitings, 



I think no reafonable man ought to quefUon why the 

 teeth of a mad dog fhould do more harm than thofe of 

 a lound one i becaufe in rage and anger the teeth of 

 every beaft and creature receive venorae and poifon 

 from the head, whereby when they bite at that time 

 they do much more harm. 



Againft the iimple biting of a dog, take the urine of 

 a dog, which is fufficient, fince there is but little ve- 

 nome in thofe wounds. To lay the hair of the fame 

 dog thereon, fthough fo much talkt on) I look upon 

 as a meer foppery. Or being bit by a dog, take vine* 

 gar, and with your hand rub the wound very well', 

 then pour into it vinegar mixed with water or Nitre i 

 then wet a fpunge in the fame liquids, and fo let it re- 

 main bound up three days i then take Pellitory of the 

 wall, mingled and beaten with Salt, or any other plai- 

 fter for green wounds. 



Divers are the cures and remedies for biting of mad 

 dogs j which I omit in this place, as belonging not to 

 my fubjed, but to Phyfick. 



A Remedy againfi the common Mange. 



This diftemper befalls a dog frequently for watit of 

 frelh water to drink when he dcfires it, and fometimes 

 by foul kennelling, and fometimes by foundering and 

 melting his greace. 



You may cure it in this manner : Take two hand- 



fuls of wild Creffes, two handfuls of Elecampane , 



and as much of the leaves and roots of Roerb and
