VERMIN.

Some animals are covered with vermin, which even pierce the skin, and

sometimes come out by the mouth, nose, and eyes.

_Symptoms._--The animal is continually rubbing and scratching itself, or

burrowing in the dirt and mire.

_Treatment._--First wash the body with a strong lie of wood ashes or

weak saleratus water, then with an infusion of lobelia. Mix a

tea-spoonful of sulphur, and the same quantity of powdered charcoal, in

the food daily.
