The Mange. 



a day or two elapsing between each rubbing. Sulphur 

 given internally will be of service. 

 Another : — 



Flowers of sulphur, half an ounce 

 hog's lard or butter, one ounce 



well mixed and rubbed completely over the animal twice 

 a day, giving a tea spoonful of the flowers of sulphur 

 every evening in a little molasses. Keep the animal 

 confined alone, and the moment the cure is effected, give 

 him a clean bed. — As the disease is very infectious, 

 without great care, all your dogs will become disordered. 



Mercurial ointment rubbed on the parts affected will 

 remove this disease ; but it is rather a dangerous re- 

 medy, and will kill a weak animal, if not carefully ad- 

 ministered : — muzzle the dog. 



An infusion of fox-glove leaves, I have reason to 

 believe, will answer the purpose : it is the cleanest re- 

 medy ; and though I have not had sufficient experience 

 to pronounce its infallibility, I have no hesitation in re- 

 commending it : — put a handful of fox-glove leaves into 

 a quart or three-pint jug, pour boiling water upon them ; 

 and, when cold, rub the dog every day for three or four 

 days. The dog need not be muzzled — as soon as dressed 

 he will attempt to hck, but will not take a second taste. 



The following I have seen successfully used : — 



Sulphur, two ounces 

 mercurial ointment, two drams 

 hog's lard, four ounces 



well mixed : with which rub the dog every other day — 

 three or four dressings will generally be sufficient. Two 

 drams of aloes, mixed up with the above, will not injure
