ROE ON CATTLE. 89 



injection into the womb to facilitate contraction. 

 I will here mention an accident happening 

 often just after the birth of calves of dispropor- 

 tionate size to the cow, by cross with over-grown 

 bull, (which should always be guarded against) 

 which is often the cause of inversion of the womb 

 where the cow, unassisted, has been obliged to 

 strain every ligament and muscle to expel a calf 

 which shouid have been removed piecemeal by a 

 skillful Veterinarian. But this accident being 

 upon us, from any cause whatever, let it be well 

 cfeansed with warm water and sponge, and re- 

 turned; and a seatonput in just towards the head 

 from root of tail, immediately over spinal col- 

 umn, which will prevent recurrence of same ac- 

 cident. The same treatment 1 " for mares in like 

 cases.
