flows from the eyes. On the outer surface over the en- 

 largement apply the following ointment: Red Iodide of 

 Mercury, four drams; Lard, two ounces. Mix well and 

 rub in briskly for twenty minutes every five or six days 

 for three weeks. The cure can generally be ascertained 

 by the animal gaining in flesh, although the lump may 

 remain. Where Lumpy Jaw is of long standing so as to 

 impair the use of the animars tongue or teeth, it is best 

 to destroy the animal, as this lessens the possibilities of 

 infecting healthy animals. 



LUNG FEVER 

 (Pneumonia) 



Cause : Generally follows congestion of the lungs. It 

 may be due to parasitic organisms or exposure to cold, 

 drafts when warm after being driven, etc. Drenching 

 perhaps is the most common cause as it is very difficult 

 for a cow to swallow when the head is elevated ; inhaling 

 smoke, gases, etc., also tend to produce pneumonia. 



Symptoms: Chilling or shivering, temperature ele- 

 vated to 105° or 106° F., nose hot and dry, horns and 

 legs cold. Pulse rapid though strong, breathing fast and 

 the appetite very good in some cases. The animal uri- 

 nates small quantities of urine but often, of a dark amber 

 color. A discharge from the nose follows, also a cough. 

 If the ear is placed back of the fore leg, a dry crackling 

 sound can be heard something on the order of rubbing 

 hair between the fingers. 



Tkeatment: Place the animal in a dry, well lighted 

 and ventilated stable, but avoid drafts. Give Pulv. Iodide 

 of Ammonia, one ounce; Pulv. Potassium Nitrate, four 

 ounces ; Pulv. Nux Vomica, four ounces ; Pulv. Capsicum, 

 one ounce ; Quinine, one ounce. Mix well and make into 

 thirty-two powders. Place one powder in gelatin cap- 

 sule and administer every three or four hours with cap- 

 sule gun. Supply the animal with fresh water at all
