Dissolve the above in three pints of water and give as 

 a drench, give through a rubber hose, six feet long, f 

 inch in diameter, passed into the stomach, by this means 

 avoiding the frequent cause of death in these cases, 

 namely, passage of the liquid the wrong way. One hour 

 later give: 



Chloral Hydrate 2 ounces, 



Bromide of Potash 2 ounces, 



dissolved in a little water, one hour later, one-fourth of 

 the quantities above mentioned are given, repeated at 

 three hour intervals. The patient should be kept well 

 bedded and propped up on its breastbone (sternum), the 

 milk drawn occasionally, the urine and feces also being- 

 removed at regular intervals, the latter by means of 

 injections. 



Dropping after calving (sometimes termed wolf in the 

 tail) occurs in some herds and is best remedied by the 

 use of nerve tonics, it may occur previous to calving if 

 the dam is at all weakened or has been fed innutritious 

 food. Hollow horn, wolf in tail and other diseases of 

 that nature in cows due to starvation, are not diseases of 

 *the various parts as the names would indicate, hence 

 these so-called diseases are never found in herds in charge 

 of good stockmen.
