THOUGHTS UPON HUNTING, 1 19 



Plenty of water, whey, greens, phyiic, air, and 

 cxercife, fuch as I have before mentioned, have 

 hitherto preferved my kennel from its baneful in- 

 fluence ; and, without doubt, you will alfo find 

 their good effects. If, notwithftanding, you 

 iliould at any time have rcatbn to fufpecSl the 

 approach of this evil, let your hounds be well ob- 

 ferved at the time when they feed ; there will be 

 no danger whilft they can cat. Should a whole 

 pack be in the fame predicament, they muft be 

 chained up feparately ; and I Ihould be very cau- 

 tious what experiment I tried to cure them ; for I 

 have been told by thofe who have had madnefs in 

 their kennels, and who have drenched their hounds 

 to cure it, that it was the occafion of its breaking 

 out a long time afterwards, and that it continued 

 to do fo, as long as they give them any thing to 

 put it off. — If a few dogs only have been bitten, 

 you had better hang them. — If you futpedl any, 

 you had better feparate them from the reft ; and 

 a fhort time, if you ufe no remedy, will deter- 

 mine whether they really were bitten or not.-— 

 Should you, however, be defirous of trying a 

 remedy, the following prefcription, I am told, is 

 a very good one :
