dered chalk and cinnamon are highly beneficial both in dy- 

 sentery and in diarrhoea to bigger animals as also to calves. 



1.027. Mammites caused by cold, injury to teats, over 

 distention of udder, or early weaning of calf, is to be treated 

 by fomentation, gently drawing out of milk and gently rub- 

 bing the udder after each fomentation with salad oil or 

 cocoanut oil. A purgative medicine (linseed oil or sulphate 

 of magnesia) also helps. If abscess forms, lancing and 

 poulticing will be necessary. 



1.028. Bloody milk. The gowalas' remedy for this abnor- 

 mality is very successful. He feeds the cow with plenty of 

 salt, *'. e., seven times exactly in one day. 



1.029. Abortion. Abortion is due either to disease, or to 

 external injury, or to predisposition to abortion. Abortion is 

 catching, in some cases. The animal should be segregated 

 from other animals in calf, and kept in perfect rest, the loins 

 and haunches being covered with cloth dipped in cold water 

 and wrung out. Hot drinks should not be given, but the 

 animal kept on light and green food. 



1.030. Warts. These are removed by rubbing on them 

 warm bullock's blood for 2 or 3 days. Warts on chicken's 

 face are cured by dipping their head in urine for 3 or 4 

 days successively. 



1.031. Yoke-galls and sores. When fresh, use brine and 

 give the animals rest from work. If after 5 or 6 days' ap- 

 plication no benefit is derived, use the following ointment: 



Sapheda (crude carbonate of lead of bazaar} \ Ib. boiled 

 with 4 Ib. of cocoanut oil and well mixed together by 

 stirring. When boiling bring down, add \ ounce of tur- 

 pentine oil and keep the ointment corked up in a bottle and 

 apply daily until the sore is healed. Another mixture which 

 has been found-highly beneficial is hog's lard with powdered 

 turmeric (unboiled turmeric being used). 



1.032. For cuts, apply mustard oil at once as a stiptic, 

 and antiseptic, then apply either Vaseline or hog's lard.
