Then
slop it close, and let it stand till it is clear, which will be in two or
three Months; then draw it off. Some will just give their Damsons a scald
in the Water before they pour it on the Raisins, which is a good way.
To Cure a _Lap-Dog,_ when he continues drowsy some Days, and cannot eat.
From the same.
If you find a Lap-Dog to be sleepy, and will not take his Victuals for two
or three Days; or if he eats, and as often discharges it soon after; take a
large Tea-spoon-full of Rum or Brandy, and as much Water, and holding his
Head up, and his Mouth open with one Hand, pour it down his Throat. This is
quantity enough for one of the smallest Dogs, and will cure him in less
than half an Hour; but as the Dogs are larger, you may give to the biggest
a large spoonful of Rum or Brandy equally mix'd with Water, and so in
proportion to the size of the Dog. It is a sure Remedy.
_Dog-Grass,_ or _Couch-Grass,_ or _Twitch-Grass,_ necessary to be had,
growing in Pots in _London,_ to cure _Lap-Dogs,_ that are sick, in the
Summer. From the same.
Couch-Grass is one of the Gardener's Plagues, and is in every Garden too
much. Take a Clump of this, and set it in a large Garden-Pot, and letting
it stand as airy as possible, water it gently every other Morning.
