give from ten to thirty drops of the compound 

 syrup of squills three or four times a day. If the 

 pig does not eat and shows signs of weakness, give 

 from one to two tablespoonf uls of good whisky in a 

 little milk three or four times a day; whisky is a 

 very useful medicine in this complaint Quinine 

 in one to four grain doses in a little whisky and 

 water is also good. In the second stage of the dis- 

 ease if the eyes are very sore they should be bathed 

 several times a day with an emulsion of slippery 

 elm bark. If the pig should be in pain and have 

 diarrhea it should have from five to twenty-five 

 drops each of tincture of opium and spirits of cam- 

 phor in a little warm milk every two hours until 

 relieved. If bronchial trouble should set in give tar 

 in little balls about the size of the end of one's little 

 finger in the food or a little milk. Five to ten grains 

 of carbonate of ammonia given in cold water sev- 

 eral times a day will be found very useful; five to 

 fifteen drops of turpentine is also very good. Care- 

 ful nursing and stimulants in the form of whisky 

 are usually all that is needed in this disease.
