DISEASES AND TREATMENT OF CATTLE 389 



In cases where the milk stops coming entirely, and the 

 bag festers, watch for a soft place in the swelling, and, as 

 soon as it forms, lance it and let the matter out. After 'you 

 lance the bag, if it smells bad, put a few drops of carbolic 

 acid in the water that you bathe it with ; this stops the bad 

 odor and cleans the wound. Continue treatment as given 

 above. 



In case the bag mortifies give plenty of bathing with 

 the hot carbolic water, as above mentioned, three times a 

 day, then apply the white lotion, and give the drench men- 

 tioned above once a week instead of every second day. The 

 mortified portion gradually rots away and heals.
