302 THE NATURE AND TREATMENT OP 



the mean time anoint the affected parts dailj, with a portion of 

 the following: — 



God Liver Oil, 6 ounces. 



Sublimated Sulphur, 2 ounces. 



Mix, and apply by means of a sponge. 



In the course of four or five days wash the surface of the 

 body with warm water and soap, and then give the body a 

 thorough sponging with the following : — 



Lime Water, 1 quart. 



Sublimated Sulphur, , 2 ounces. 



The above treatment generally cures the most inveterate

 and introduce it between the " cleft " of the foot ; the hoof and 

 contiguous parts are then to be bathed with the preparation ; 

 and finally, in view of keeping the sponge in place, and to 

 produce a good effect on the external parts, a narrow bandage 

 must be applied so as to encircle the hoof. If any heat or 

 tenderness exist, the bandage should be kept moist with cold 

 water. 



WARTS. 



Warts, as they occur on cattle, are of three kinds. One 

 makes its appearance upon the skin, and consists in part of 

 an increased development of the epidermis or scarf skin ; the 

 next kind originates under the epidermis, and, as is grows, ele-

 common encysted fibrous tumor, without organization. This
