256 THE CONTAGIOUS TYPHUS 



emetics, freely diluted, for instance, will be 

 very serviceable. 



At the third and fourth period in this pul- 

 monary form of the disease, adopt the treat- 

 ment prescribed for intestinal typhus. 



We might have greatly enlarged the list of 

 the pharmaceutic agents, but the richer a 

 treatment is in remedies the poorer it is in 

 cures. "We have made choice of the simplest 

 and safest among all the remedies advised by 

 experienced men, making allowance for the 

 difficulties inherent to the number of animals, 

 the mode of application, the cost, &c., always 

 keeping in view the life of the animal to be 

 saved and the interest of the cattle owners. 



We think that the treatment by inoculation 

 might have prevented the typhus in a very 

 large proportion, and that the curative medi- 

 cation might have saved many of the in- 

 fected cattle at the worst period of the 

 epizootia. 



Such, then, are the results which will one 

 day be obtained, when we shall be able to 

 supersede the barbarous process of general 

 extermination, by the adoption of a rational 

 treatment, founded at once on science and 

 practical experience.
