DISEASES OF HORSES AND CATTLE. 191 



Treatment: Open the swellings with a knife and 

 inject carbolic acid half an ounce, water one 

 quart, or inject a lotion of this kind all around the 

 swelling with a hypodermic syringe. Give one 

 ounce each of tincture chloride of iron, ginger, and 

 gentian at a dose three times a day in half a pint 

 of water; this dose is for yearlings. Half this 

 quantity for a calf six months old. Kemove all 

 the well ones and give a dose of Epsom salts, four 

 ounces for a calf, half a pound for a yearling, one 

 pound for a two-year-old, and one and one-half for 

 a cow. Feed on dry food or turn into a poor pas- 

 ture, and if this is done there will be no further 

 trouble. 



Pyemia (Blood Poisoning). — Septicemia pus 

 getting into the blood is best treated by tincture 

 chloride of iron, gentian, and ginger, one ounce 

 each three times a day, and feeding good food.
