Poultices.— An arrangement of material may be contrived 

 to hold a Poultice to the mammary region. A piece of strong 

 sacking should be made to pass under the abdomen, and firmly 

 retained to the part diseased by means of straps passing around 

 the body and secured upon the back ; the Poultices should be 

 large, and made of bran, hot water, boiled turnips, and hog's 

 lard. 



Teeatment of Steangles AFFECTiNa the Beeast. — 

 The first essential to regard is the comfort of the animal. Place 

 him in a loose box, which is roomy, and well-littered with clean, 

 dry straw ; after which, every attention should be directed to 

 aid and support the A^tal energies. If the patient does not lie 

 down, he should be compelled to do so in the manner directed 

 by Earey, Telfer, and others — a plan which is now so well 

 known as to need no further description. 



Aesenictjm and Belladonna. — Arsenic is an invaluable 

 remedy in cases of this nature. Use it of the 3rd dilution, in 

 2-drachm doses, mixed with 2 or 3 ounces of water. A dose 

 may be given morning and night, for several days in succession ; 

 or it may be given in alternation with Belladonna of the 1st 

 dilution, in 2-drachm doses, mixed with a like quantity of 

 water. If the two are used, give them in alternation morning, 

 noon, and night. The Belladonna is to arrest the formation of 

 purulent matter.
