MANGE.
This disease is too well known to need any description. The following are deemed the best cures:—
External Application for Mange.
| Powdered charcoal, | half a table-spoonful. |
| Powdered sulphur, | 1 ounce. |
| Soft soap sufficient to form an ointment. | |
To be applied externally for three successive days; at the end of which time, the animal is to be washed with castile soap and warm water, and afterwards wiped dry.
The internal remedies consist of equal parts of sulphur and cream of tartar, half a tea-spoonful of which may be given daily, in honey.
When the disease becomes obstinate, and large, scabby eruptions appear on various parts of the body, take
| Pyroligneous acid, | 2 ounces. |
| Water, | 1 pint. |
Wash the parts daily, and keep the animal on a light diet.
