60 SHOOTING : 



The worms beneath anglers adopt this course 

 T' obtain their bait, when otherwise 'tis scarce. 



The most disgraceful ills, I here assert, 

 A dog can know, as caus'd by filth and dirt, 

 And wretched living, are two kinds of Mange 

 The red and white ; where'er such patients range 

 'Mongst others of their kind, they oft infect 

 The rest the white 's most sure in this respect : 

 If ta'en in time, they're quickly found to bend 

 To this receipt if you'll attention lend ; 

 Of sulphur vivum, get from any store 

 Of first-rate drug vender, the ounces four, 

 Bayberry powder two, of turpentine 

 One ounce is quantum suff. ; to make it prime, 

 Add two of powder'd, but white, hellebore ; 

 When mix'd with half a pound of lard, not more, 

 'Twill make an ointment that is almost sure, 

 In a few days, the malady to cure.
