| No. 6. | Of either of the ointments already prescribed, 1, 2, or 3 | 6 oz. |
| Mercurial ointment, mild | 1 oz.—Mix. | |
| Or, | ||
| No. 7. | Powdered charcoal | 1 oz. |
| Prepared chalk | 1 oz. | |
| Superacetate, or sugar of lead | 1 dr. | |
| White precipitate of quicksilver | 2 dr. | |
| Sulphur | 2 oz. | |

In some cases, the mange ointment, No. 4, alternated with No. 6, one being used one day, and the other the next, will be found beneficial. In others, benefit has been derived from the wash, No. 5, united with lime water. In slight cases of red mange, the following has been found singularly successful:
| No. 8. | Oxymuriate of quicksilver (corrosive sublimate) powdered | 6 gr. |
| Sulphuretted potash (liver of sulphur) | ½ oz. | |
| Lime water | 6 oz.—Mix. |
The third variety requires a considerable difference in the treatment. When the little spongy openings, piercing the cellular tissue, will admit of it, they should be injected, by means of a very minute syringe, with the wash No. 8. The general surface should also be anointed with the following:
| No. 9. | Ointment of nitrated quicksilver | 2 dr. |
| Superacetate of lead | 1 scruple. | |
| Washed flowers of sulphur | ½ oz. | |
| Lard | 1 oz.—Mix. |
For the Red Mange.—Two ounces of white hellebore in powder, mixed in one quart of the grounds of strong beer, made warm; rub the dog well all over, and dry it in with a good fire; be careful that it does not touch his eyes: put the dog in a warm place, and keep him from water four hours after the application.—Blaine.
