All well animals should be separated from the sick 

 ones and put on un infested ground or quarters. There 

 are two plans of treatment. One is to place the in-

 fumes no longer. Then admit fresh air. This treat-

 Another remedy is : 



Carbolic acid % ounce 



Turpentine 4 ounces 



Olive oil 8 ounces 



Whichever of these remedies is used, the ingredients 

 must be thoroughly mixed, and from one to three tea- 

 spoonfuls injected into the trachea once a day for three 

 days. The animal must be placed on his rump and 

 held between the knees while the hypodermic needle 

 is inserted into the trachea two or three inches below 

 the throat, and the medicine gradually injected. In 

 treating animals affected with this or similar parasitic 

 diseases, the animals are to be well fed, as soon as the 

 medicinal treatment has been completed, with plenty of 

 nourishing food. To build up the system is to assist 

 nature in overcoming the disease. As a general rule,
