86 WENS CORE ROOM, AND AIR. 



know of no remedy, but confinement, with room for 

 exercise, fine water being allowed, with chalk and 

 saffron infused. For SCOURING, forge-water, or rust 

 of iron in pellets of dough ; afterwards, sulphur in 

 the water. In ERUPTIONS, sulphurated water. If 

 any external application be necessary, the unguents 

 already directed will be proper. For wounds in the 

 FEET, Venice turpentine spread on brown paper. 

 The FLESH WEN, may be either opened, or cut off, 

 the part being washed with alum water, &c. or the 

 dressings used as before directed. EXOSTOSIS or 

 the BONE WEN upon the joints, somewhat similar to 

 splents upon the shank of the horse, is deemed in- 

 curable. The best cure, to fatten for the table. 

 The CORE, a hard substance of a yellowish colour 

 mixed with red, and resembling the core of an 

 apple, is sometimes found in the anus or vent, and 

 has been known in the oesophagus, or gullet of a 

 pigeon. This will ripen and maturate, and may 

 be then discharged, dissected, or drawn out. A 

 purge of a very small quantity of tobacco is di- 

 rected in this case, but on what grounds I am not 

 informed. 



In keeping poultry of all kinds, it ought to be a 

 first consideration that there be sufficient ROOM and 

 AIR for the number kept ; otherwise, they will be, in 

 the vulgar phrase, stanched, that is, infected by the 

 impurity of their own atmosphere, and become, in 

 consequence, subject to frequent mortality.
