Chapter XVIII: Part III: Diseases of Sheep and Goats

When a number of Sheep or Goats, or a flock, are to receive medicine,
the best and most economical, as well as efficient method, is as
follows: Procure a new or perfectly clean pint bottle and cork, fill
it two-thirds full of pure water, to which add a _large spoonful, or
sixty drops_, of the proper remedy, SHAKE IT THOROUGHLY, so as to
perfectly medicate the whole mass. Of this a dessert spoonful is a
dose for a sheep or goat. Paste a proper label on the bottle and use
it only for that remedy, so as to prevent mistake or confusion.
