the cow may stagger somewhat on leaving the chute. These symp- 

 toms will soon pass off. Give the cow as much as she will stand 

 without causing her to stagger. 



This course of treatment should result in ridding any herd of 

 contagious abortion in 60 days. It will prevent the pregnant ani- 

 mals from aborting and will prepare those that have aborted for 

 successful breeding. 



N. B. In case any cow begins to show the signs of calving 

 before time, the carbolic acid injection should be given every other 

 day to check up the threatened abortion. In extreme cases, where 

 labor pains have set in, the abortion can often be checked by using 

 a mixture of 2 parts Fluid Extract Black Haw and 1 part laudanum. 

 Give 3 ozs. at a dose, and repeat in 3 hours, if necessary.
