VTB may bo healed by rubbing \vith goose oil, 

 ,iilk ; or the application* for caked bag. The. 

 bag and teats should be \\ell cleansed \villi \varni soft water, 

 if in be followed by any oiiitinent. The following applica- 

 tion is recommended by ^ ouatt. One ounce of yellow wax 

 and three of lard ; melt together, and when cooling, rub in 

 one quarter ./. nf sugar of lead, and a drachm of alum finely 

 powdered. 



NV VUTS are of two kinds ; the first, on the outer skin, may 

 be removed by rubbing with camphorated olive oil. The 

 others penetrate into the llesh, and may be removed by a lig- 

 ature of fine twine, or silk, or India rubber drawn into a string, 

 and tied tightly around the wart, which falls off in a few din 8. 

 Nitrate of silver, (lunar caustic,) applied to the wart, will 

 remove it, but it produces a sore ; or, apply a strong wash of 

 alum ; rub with the juice of milk weed ; poultice with grated 

 carrot ; or cut off the wart with sharp scissors when the cow 

 is dry. It will bleed little and soon heal.
