with double doses. Of course this applies to acute cholera — hogs which 

 have not been sick over eight days. Don't treat chronic cholera, as it 

 is a useless waste of serum. If a hog has been sick over eight days 

 serum even in double doses will do it no good. It is well also to re- 

 member that in chronic cholera the fever has oftentimes dropped down 

 to normal or even below normal. In such cases the thermometer 

 cannot be depended upon for diagnosis. After the ulcers form on 

 the intestines (eight days) a hog will die as quick with serum as with- 

 out it. Don't treat chronic cholera. 



CONCLUSION. 



In this great fight of science against hog cholera science will pre- 

 vail and hog cholera will be as surely conquered by anti-hog-cholera 

 serum and modern sanitation as night follows the day. The slogan 

 should be, "All pull together for the eradication of hog cholera." When 

 science and effort have caused hog cholera to vanish from the confines 

 of the Volunteer State, then we will be a happier, better fed, more 

 prosperous and better contented people.
