terize the cut surface with a hot iron. Caustic Potash 

 or Silver Nitrate should be applied two or three times 

 at the intervals of two or three days to insure the entire 

 extermination of the wart. This same treatment applies 

 to all classes of warts located in various places. 



WHITES 

 (Leucorrhea) 



Cause : Continual chronic inflammation of the womb, 

 or due to irritations from a laetained afterbirth. Inju- 

 ries or wounds inflicted by hands or instruments in 

 difficult calving, diseases of the ovaries, etc. 



Symptoms: A giarish, white discharge from the 

 womb. When cow is lying down it flows more abundantly, 

 soiling the tail, etc. The general health may not be much 

 affected at first, but if the discharge continues and is 

 putrid, the health fails, the milk shrinks, and there is a 

 great loss of flesh. In some cases heat is more frequent 

 or intense than natural, but the animal rarely conceives 

 when served, and if she does, is likely to abort. 



Treatment : Feed nitrogenous food. Wash the womb 

 out with a solution consisting of f^Ye grains of Perman- 

 ganate of Potash to one quart of water. This should be 

 repeated once or twice a day. If the animal is consti- 

 pated, give two drams of Aloin, three drams of Gringer. 

 Place in gelatin capsule and give with capsule gun. Also 

 place Potassium Iodide one dram. Hyposulphite of Soda 

 one ounce in the drinking water two or three times a 

 day. This not only diminishes the discharge, but has a 

 good effect on the blood, particularly where there is more 

 or less decomposition of the flesh. 



WOLF IN THE TAIL 

 This condition is imaginary, although the muscles of 

 the tail relax or soften, especially those of its extremity, 

 due to ill health; consequently the condition of the cow 

 should be treated, and not the tail.
