CHAPTER III 



HOG REGULATOR AND TONIC 



Nux Vomica, one pound; Hardwood Charcoal, two 

 pounds; Sulphur, tw^o pounds; Common Salt, three 

 pounds ; Sulphide of Antimony, one and one-half pounds ; 

 Glauber Salts, two pounds; Bicarbonate of Soda, four 

 pounds; Hyposulphite of Soda, four pounds; Nitrate of 

 Potash, one pound; Quassia, one-half pound; Gentian 

 Eoot, one pound; Iron Sulphate, one pound; pulverize 

 and mix well. 



To every one hundred pounds of hog weight, give one 

 tablespoonful in feed or swill once or twice daily. For 

 hogs weighing two hundred pounds, the dose would be 

 two tablespoonf uls ; for a hog weighing fifty pounds, one- 

 half tablespoonful. 



Hogs, like other animals, require tonics, bowel regu- 

 lators and worm expellers. For these purposes, I have 

 prescribed under a number of the diseases of hogs, which 

 I cover in this chapter, the above general tonic and regu- 

 lator which I have used in my personal practice with 

 marked success, especially serving the purpose of aiding 

 hogs in their convalescence from debilitating diseases 

 and in their recovery from a general run-down condition. 



Aside from its general tonic and regulative effect, this 

 prescription contains nerve tonics, intestinal antiseptics, 

 laxatives, worm expellers, and aids digestion, etc. 



If regularly given to hogs, and sanitary conditions 

 are maintained, this tonic and regulator will largely 

 fortify them against contagious diseases.
