Drench always through the mouth and never through 

 the nostrils. 



2. The second course of treatment aims at the same 

 result, i. e., to empty the bowels, but has the advantage 

 of avoiding the dangers of giving drenches. Divide two 

 grains of eserine sulphate in three parts, dissolve each 

 part in a little water and inject into the wind pipe at 

 half hour intervals by means of a hypodermic syringe. 

 Repeat in twenty- four (2-1) hours if the animal shows 

 no signs of recovery. This course is attended with mod- 

 erate success. 



3. The third course is that of Schmidt. This is by 

 far the safest and most successful treatment known, 90 

 per cent, of cases are said to recover. 



Dissolve 2 drachms of iodide of potash in one quart 

 of water which has been boiled and cooled to blood heat. 

 Inject one-fourth of the solution into each teat after 

 milking out thoroughly. Leave this in the udder 12 

 hours ; milk out and repeat if the animal shows no signs 

 of improvement. 



A funnel, rubber tube 3 to 5 feet long, and milk tube, 

 connected as illustrated in Fig. 14, may be used for in- 

 jecting the solution. The milk tube is inserted into the 

 teat and some of the solution is pQured into the funnel 

 by an assistant. If the liquid refuses to flow at first 

 compress the rubber tube a few times in the hand. This 

 will force out some of the air and start the flow. If a 

 milk tube cannot be secured, almost any druggist can 

 make a tube that will serve by heating a glass rod of 

 suitable size in an alcohol flame and drawing it out to 

 the proper proportions. Then the broken ends of the 

 glass are rounded in the flame. 



A rubber bulb or fountain syringe may be used in- 

 stead of a funnel. All vessels and apparatus to be used
