Give, morning and night. 
One of the above balls may be given daily. When their benefits seem 
exhausted, give, instead of a ball, half an ounce each of liquor arseni- 
calis, the same of tincture of ipecacuanha, with one ounce of muriated 
tincture of iron and of laudanum, in a pint of water. Also, damp the 
food and sprinkle magnesia freely upon it. Then, as the strength im- 
proves, introduce sulphuric ether, one ounce; water, one pint, daily; and 
ultimately change this last for a quart of good ale or stout. 
Before concluding, there remains to point out the cause of this lamenta- 
ble affection. Ignorance views each part of the body as distinct; it 
cannot see the various components are connected, and, in the mass, 
constitute one whole. Thus, medicine appears to the uninformed as 
thrown away, when internally administered for a skin disease. So it 
may to such persons appear strange how the air inhaled can disorder 
the digestion! To those better informed, however, it will only seem a 
natural consequence that impure atmosphere, inspired day and night, 
should impair the body’s health. It will, with such people, be recog- 
nized as likely that the disorder should break forth when the frame is 
on the eve of being matured. The cause of indigestion is close and un- 
healthy stables. What loss will instruct mankind, that they cannot 
enslave life and treat it according to their convenience? Life has its 
natural rights: these cannot be disregarded—the requirements of breath- 
ing creatures must be fulfilled. The ability of the enslaver to use accord- 
ing to his pleasure, must not be selfishly regarded; else nature is out- 
raged, and in its deprivation, pride learns the impossibility of forcing all 
things to conform with its inclinations.

No animal which has not been turned out to graze during the summer 
months can possibly be troubled with these parasites. Such annoyances 
form no light argument against the benefits accomplished by that which 
is in slang phrase termed “Dr. Green.” The appearance of the coat
