For a Green Wound. 



Hogs' lard, turpentine, and bees' wax, equal quan- 

 tities, and a quarter of the quantity of verdigris : these 

 are to be all simmered over a slow fire till they come 

 to a salve. 



To cure a Dog of the Mange, without Scent. 



Dissolve a quarter of an ounce of sublimate in one 

 ounce of spirit of salts : boil it in a quart of water, and 

 wash the parts affected. Muzzle the dog. This re- 

 peated, will effect a cure. 



Purges. 



Rue, beat fine, and put into lard or butter-milk, is a 

 good purge. 



From five to seven grains of calomel is a good purge 

 and purifier. 



But the best purgative is socotrine or fine aloes, from 

 half a drachm to a drachm for a small dog, and two or 

 three drachms for a full sized hound : inclose the pow- 

 der in a ball of flour and lard, or butter. 



When a Dog strips in his Feet. 



Wash and soak them well in bran and warm w r ater, 

 with a little vinegar ; then apply tincture of myrrh ; 

 and in the morning, previous to his going out, anoint 

 them with a little fresh butter or sweet oil. Do the 

 same under his arms, flanks, &c., where he strips.
