drams every two hours in a bottle of oatmeal gruel 

 until the animal is easy.' Zundel recommends 

 chloroform to be given in doses of three drams in a 

 little gruel or linseed oil every half hour until three 

 doses have been taken. Either of these medicines 

 I have found to stop the pain and uneasiness, and 

 prevented what might have been a case of abor- 

 tion. In the majority of cases of abortion all that 

 is necessary is to keep the animal quiet for a few 

 days and feed on soft food. If the animal should 

 be restless, showing symptoms of pain, give two 

 ounces of tincture of opium every two hours in half 

 a pint of water. If there should be a discharge 

 from the vulva, inject a little of the following: 

 Peroxide of hydrogen, one part ; water, two parts, 

 and give one ounce tincture chloride of iron at a 

 lose in a quart of oatmeal gruel twice a day for a 

 week or two.
