Not illustrated. 1870 Excerpt: ...red spots on the skin which denote the scab. If the disease appears when the wool is short, scrub the bodies with a stiff brush, and dip them into the tobacco decoction described for ticks.

The heels can be separated only to a little distance, and the skin that is in the cleft above them is naked. In a healthy foot it is as firm, sound, smooth, and dry as the skin between a man's fingersr which, indeed, it not a little resembles, on a mere superficial inspection.
