Compound for Asthma.
| Powdered bloodroot, | 1 tea-spoonful. |
| Powdered lobelia, | 1 tea-spoonful. |
| Powdered marshmallows, | 1 tea-spoonful. |
| Powdered licorice, | 1 tea-spoonful. |
Mix. Divide into twelve parts, and give one night and morning. If they produce retching, reduce the quantity of lobelia. The object is not to vomit, but to induce a state of nausea or relaxation.
PILES.
Piles are generally brought on by confinement, over-feeding, &c., and show themselves by a red, sore, and protruded rectum. Dogs subject to constipation are most likely to be attacked.
Treatment.—Give the animal half a tea-spoonful of sulphur for two or three mornings, and wash the parts with an infusion of white oak bark. If they are very painful, wash two or three times a day with an infusion of hops, and keep the animal on a light diet.
