clioaks him. If you can give your hog his med- 

 icine in milk, or some other liquid that he will 

 drink, it is well ; if not, do not force it down in 

 the manner of drenching, but give it to him in 

 the form of a clyster: This is always safe and as 

 -effectual as any method whatever. 



ISSUES. 



The issues in a hog are places on the inside 

 of their legs, which are porous, like a pepper box 

 top. Here it seems, is the most immediate out- 

 let for the superfluous fluid of the body : when 

 these get stopped (as hogs are fond of filth and 

 mire) the hog loses his appetite and becomes 

 sick ; then to drenching and choaking as before 

 hinted ; whereas, if his issues were rubbed and 

 picked open, he would immediately recover. 



Thus I have endeavoured in the preceding 

 sheets, with much brevity and plainness, to treat 

 upon those maladies, which have fallen more im- 

 mediately under my inspection. I would not be 

 thought a plagiary. 1 have made practical ex- 

 perience my guide, without regard to studied 

 theories ; 1 have not, however, discarded the sen- 

 timents of any man, because they agreed with 

 nay own ; and if they may be in any measure 

 serviceable to my readers, 1 shall never regret raj 

 trouble in writing them..
