Cows that are cat-hammed, or that go close behind, are 

 liable to be afflicted with chapped udders, in consequence 

 of their thighs rubbing against them, which sometimes also 

 produces ulceration in the thighs, as well as the udder. 

 These may be readily cured by the parts being frequently 

 washed clean with soap, or soda and water, and afterwards 

 bathed frequently with a lotion composed of 



Extract of goulard . 2 ounces. 



Camphorated spirits of wine 6 ounces. 

 When the teats are chapped, which generally proceeds fiora 

 the want of cleanliness in the milkers, the same treatment 

 as above recommended may be adopted. When the teats 

 are very painful and much cracked, they should be washed 

 with laudanum, and the cracks afterwards filled up with 

 prepared chalk. 



Where swelling of the udder, accompanied by inflamma- 

 tion, has taken place, and matter has collected, an opening 

 must be made in the lowest situation where the matter is 

 lodged, and as near to the side of the teat as possible. Then 

 let a quantity of warm milk and water be forced up the 

 wound with a syringe, so as effectually to carry off all the 

 matter, this to be repeated twice or thrice daily, until the 

 part assumes the appearance of healing. Should granula- 

 tion, or symptoms of the healing process not be apparent, 

 then it will be necessary to excite the edges of the wound 

 with a solution of
