86 Diseases of Cattle. 



breathing, and fever. The animal becomes excited and is 

 threatened with suffocation. Cough and great distress. 



TREATMENT : — Place the animal in the open air ; if 

 it is snm_mer time remove to a shady place, and give our 



remb:dy no. 114 AS directed. 



This will allay the excitement, fever, and irritation. If 

 remedy No. 114 gives relief in half an hour, repeat the 

 dose as directed. But on the contrary, if there are no signs 

 of felief in half an hour, there are but two things to do. 

 Wait for the animal to die, or to cut a hole in the wind- 

 pipe. In case the latter is preferred, tighten the skin about 

 the middle on the front of the neck over the wind-pipe, and 

 make a clean cut, fair down the centre, and through the 

 skin ; when the white shining wind-pipe is brought to 

 view, have an assistant to hold the skin back out of the 

 way, dll a hole is cut out of the wind-pipe, as large as a 

 fifty cent piece. This will give instantaneous relief. The 

 hole will gradually fill up, and close again without any 

 trouble whatever. This bold operation, although very 

 simple, IS the only sure cure after our remedy has failed to 

 relieve this dangerous affection. 



Price of remedy No. 114, 75 cents. 



CUD, LOSS OF, 



Loss of cud or rumination is not a disease, but ;i 

 symptom of such diseases as bronchitis, pleuro-pneumonia, 

 hoven, aphtha, etc. When rumination has ceased in any of 

 these diseases and is resumed again,' it is an indication that 

 the animal is improving, that the functions of the body are 

 again active, and are demanding food and nourishment.
