and found the flowks had increafed in fize, and 

 that they had penetrated much furcher into che 

 Jiver. Some time afterwards, I killed another, 

 and found the flowks to be (till larger, and to 

 have entered deeper into the liver. I tiiought 

 it impoflible to fave any of them, being tully 

 perfuaded they would all die rotten. 



I gave each ot the furviving ewes two table- 

 fpoonfuis of fpirit of turpenLine. la the v/in- 

 ter one died, two more were very badly choker- 

 ed, and very wcakj two were muifferent,. but 

 litde chokered ♦, and two of them ailed nothing 

 to all appearance. Ail the fix ewes brought 

 up their lambs very weii,and four of them were 

 very fat in the fummer : the two which had 

 been fo much chokered were very good mut- 

 ton : but, when killed, they ail had flowks ; 

 and the two which were fo much chokered had 

 by far the greatefl: number. 



The flowks prey fo much on the fubftance 

 of the liver, and introduce themfelves fo deeply 

 into the numerous blood-veflTels of it, as to 

 change the colour of the blood, and reduce al- 

 mofl: the whole of it to a thin watery ferum^ 

 depriving the animal of the principal fupportof 



life.
