ment were made, I would give him two 

 guineas, and never discover it till after his 

 death. He consented. The Hquid is thus 

 made: — Half an ounce of quicksilver 



IS PUT INTO A BOTTLE, WITH HALF AN OUNCE 



OF OIL OF TURPENTINE, FOR ABOUT EIGHT 

 HOURS BEFORE USING IT: SHAKE THE BOTTLE 



FREQUENTLY, AND SHAKE IT ALWAYS W^HEN 



YOU USE IT, f or there will be a sediment at 

 the bottom. The ointment is thus made: — - 

 Take half an ounce of quicksilver ; put 

 it into a bottle, with half an ounce 

 of oil of turpentine ; let it stand for 

 eight hours, shaking the bottle fre- 

 quently : the n take four ounces of 

 hog's-lard, and, by degrees, mix both 

 together, a little of each at a time, 

 till the whole be incorporated . — he 

 told me, that he always carried two pots of 

 ointment with him, one stronger than the 

 Other, in case of a dog being very bad with 

 the mange. The strongest ointment was 

 made with ojili/ three ounces of hog's-lard, 

 but with the same quantity of the quick- 

 silver and turpentine.
