try, is known by husbandmen to affect calves ; 

 and I have been credibly informed, that death fre- 

 quently ensues from the violent irritation produced. 

 The remedy, as I am assured, is that of confining 

 the animal affected in an apartment fumigated 

 with frankincense, turpentine and brimstone, (the 

 latter, however, must certainly be in small pro- 

 portion, and exhibited with care), and that it 

 never fails. 



May not the fumigation of tobacco, or the 

 smoke of other less pungent vegetables, cause the 

 worms in the trachea of poultry to quit their hold, 

 and be driven out by the violent expulsion of air 

 in coughing ? 



Sheep are frequently affected with violent 

 coughs ; may not irritation be caused in a similar 

 manner, without primary pulmonary affection? 

 May not the lungs become diseased in consequence, 

 and cause death ? This may be worth a strict in- 

 vestigation, in an animal so nearly connected with 

 human comforts.
