DOGS—Mange Upon—Sure Remedy.
Powdered aloes, 1/2 oz.; flour of sulphur, 1 oz. Mix to a consistence of porridge, with spirits of turpentine, and apply with a brush or swab.
Remarks. —" Cures every time, " said a citizen of Ann Arbor to me, who had tested it. The word "mange" undoubtedly comes from the French demanger, to itch, as it causes such a degree of itching as to cause dogs and other animals to rub themselves almost constantly against whatever they can find. What will cure it in one animal will do the same with others. Probably arises from the acarus scabies, or itch mite, affecting children, and is, therefore, " catching, " or contagious.
