THE ORMSKIRK MEDICINE. 121 



Ormskirk medicine is also very good. I have 

 given it to several persons in ray neighbourhood, 

 and, I believe, with success ; at least, I have 

 not, as yet, heard an}' thing to the contrary. 

 Though I mention these as the two most favou- 

 rite remedies, I recommend neither. Somer- 

 vile's advice, which I have already given, is 

 what I recommend to you : if properly attended 

 to, it will prevent the want of any remedy. 



P. S. A Treatise on Canine Madness, written 

 by Dr. James, is well worth your reading. You 

 will find that he prescribes the same remedy for 

 the cure of madness in dogs as I have mentioned 

 here, but in different quantities. I have, how- 

 ever, taken the liberty of recommending the 

 quantities above mentioned, as they have been 

 known to succeed in my neighbourhood, and as 

 the efficacy of them has been very frequently 

 proved.
