IlS THOUGHTS UPOU HUNTING. 



viz. an ounce of Peruvian bark in a glass of Port wine, 

 taken tzvice a-day. It is not infallible, but, in some stages' 

 of this disorder, is certainly of use. The hound most 

 infefted that ever 1 knew to recover, was a large stag- 

 hound : he lay five days, without being able to get off the 

 bench, receiving little nourishment during the whole time 

 of the disorder, except this medicine, with which he drank 

 three bottles of Port wine. — You may think, perhaps, that 

 the feeder drank his share ; and, probably, he might, had 

 it not been sent ready mixed up with the bark, — I once 

 tried the poiidre unicjue, thinking it a proper medicine 

 for a disorder which is said to be putrid ; but I can- 

 not say any thing in its favour, with regard to dogs at 

 least. — Norris'b drops I have also given, and with success. 

 I o-ave a large table spoonful of them in an equal quantity 

 of Port wine, three times a-day : as the dog grew better, 

 I lessened the quantity. — Y/hen dogs run much at the 

 nose, nothing will contribute more to the cure of them 

 than keeping that part clean : when that cannot conve- 

 niently be done, emetics will be necessary : the best that 

 I know is, a large spoonful of common salt, dissolved in 

 three spoonfuls of warm water*. — The first symptom of 



* The quantity of salt must be proportioned to the size of the dog, and 

 to the difficulty there may be to make him vomit.
