DISEASES OF THE HOG.

Plate No. 5. 



Shows the manner of adjusting our invaluable string car- 

 rying forceps No. 4. In numerous cases the pig is found set- 

 tled so low behind the pelvis that old hinge forceps will not 

 touch it. In such cases this is the only instrument that will 

 reach the pig, and this only in the following way : One arm 

 is held stationary while the other long and properly curved 

 arm is run far back and down until it can be brought under 

 the pig, drawing the cord around in a loop, when the pig can 

 be raised.
