ON THE SHEEP OF ZETLAND. 273 



Removal of the diseased individuals to dry si- 

 tuations, nutritious food, and the occasional use 

 of mercurial purgatives, are the remedies chiefly 

 to be trusted to ; and if employed in the early 

 stages of the disease, seldom fail to effect its cure. 



As the other diseases with which the Zetland 

 sheep are affected, present nothing peculiar, either 

 in their progress or consequences, it is unnecessa- 

 ry to enumerate them.
