920 THE PEOPLE'S FARM AND STOCK CYCLOPEDIA. 



Mix, and give at one dose three times a day. If the animal 

 begins to show weakness, give tincture of cinchona, four ounces, 

 every one or two hours. 



Or take Whisky, ....... 4 ounces. 



Quinine, 35 grains. 



Mix, and give as one dose every two or three hours; give 

 the greatest care to the comfort of the patient. 



If an animal dies with this disease, it should be buried 

 deep or better, burned and if the animal is to be skinned or 

 otherwise handled after death, the greatest caution should be 

 used to prevent any cuts or scratches on the hands, and if any 

 such injuries exist, the animal should not be handled, especially 

 if it is already partly rotten and there seems to be a partial 

 decomposing action going on at, or even in some cases before, 

 death. If the poisons thus being formed, or those already ex- 

 isting, are absorbed in any way, they may cause the loss of a 

 hand or arm, or even life. I would advise against saving the 

 skin when the cause of death is unknown. 



Mange. The causes and symptoms are the same as in 

 the horse. 



TREATMENT. This is also the same, yet dirty remedies may 

 be used on cattle which could not be used on horses. A good 

 remedy for cattle is, 



Take Sulphuret of Potassium, 1 ounce. 



Water, ....... 10 ounces. 



Or take Turpentine, 2 ounces. 



Oil of Tar, 2 ounces. 



Train Oil, 2 ounces. 



Mix, and apply once or twice a day as directed for mange 

 in horses, which see. 



"Wounds. The different varieties of wounds commonly 

 seen are : Incised, lacerated, punctured, and contused. An 

 incised wound is a clean cut; a punctured, is done with a 

 small instrument, and the injury is deep ; a lacerated, is torn, 

 and in a contused wound the flesh is injured, and the skin not 

 broken.
