278 MANGE. 



In some cases, the mange ointment No. 4, alternated with No. 

 6, one being used one day, and the other the next, will be found 

 beneficial. In others, benefit has been derived from the wash 

 No. 5, united with lime-water. In slight cases of red mange, the 

 following has been found singularly successful : — 



No. 8. — Oxymuriate of quicksilver (corrosive sublimate) 



powdered 6 grains 



Sulphuretted potash (liver of sulphur) half an ounce 



Lime-water 6 ounces. — Mix, 



The third variety requires a considerable difference in the treat- 

 ment. When the little spongy openings piercing the cellular 

 tissue will admit of it, they should be injected, by means of a very

 membered, both in this and all the other kinds of this disease, that, 

 when the sores are very irritable and much inflamed, it will be 

 frequently essentially necessary to allay the heat and inflammatory 

 irritation in them before they will bear any of the regular mange 

 applications. The best means of doing this will be by anointing 

 them with the following for a few days : — 



Superacetate, called 5?igar of lead 1 drachm 



Spermaceti ointment 2 ounces. 



When the irritation is allayed, proceed with the ointment No. 3, 

 or alternate this with No. 6. 



Besides the fixed varieties before described, mange puts on dif-
