. YORKSHIRE, *i 



Its EFFICACY is not, I believe, doubted by 

 any one who has given it a fair trial ; but 

 there are fome who, through appreheniions 

 of danger from the carelefsnefs of fervants, 

 pr from their own abfentnefs, or under an 

 idea that an arfenical preparation is hurtful 

 to the feedfman, are fcrupulous about ufmg 

 it. 



"Whether the fafl has or has not any foun- 

 dation in truth is at prefent a matter in difpute. 

 The perfpn abovementioned has not, during 

 his twenty years practice, experienced any in- 

 conveniency either tphimfelf, his fervants, or 

 his live ftock \ not even to his poultry. Nor 

 have I heard of a fingle accident having 

 arifen from the ufe of it in any part of the 

 Diftrict. 



I do not mean to comment upon this prac- 

 tice : fuffice it for me to regifter fuch facts 

 as have occurred to me refpecting it, and to 

 give the procefs ; leaving the reader to form 

 his own judgment in regard to the propriety 

 of uiing it. 



This preparation is made by pounding the 

 arfcnic extremely fine, boiling it in water, 

 diluting the decoction, and drenching the 

 feed effectually in the liquor.
