CONKEY'S STOCK BOOK 



of the bronchial tubes is noticed and if one of the worst affected animals is 

 killed and the bronchial tube is opened lengthwise you will find a great 

 number of small round thread worms about 1 inch long. 



Treatment This is a hard disease to treat because it is hard to get a 

 vermifuge into the head chambers. A teaspoonful of turpentine 

 in the slop taken three times a day has so far given best results, numbing 

 the worms so that it is easier to dislodge them by coughing. But prevention 

 is the best advice. Take care not to buy any young pigs affected with 

 worms and keep the young stock from running on low marshy ground 

 and drinking from pools in suspected pastures. Treat all affected animals 

 with Conkey's Stock Tonic mixed with the regular feed, and give occasional 

 doses to all animals as a general preventive for it is easier to keep the worms 

 from developing than it is to get them out after they get into the bronchial 

 tube.

Spiroptera Strongyline and Sclerostotum Dentatum (in the intestines), are a 

 few only of these disgusting and damaging parasites. There is no sense in 

 putting up with their presence, as all but the Kidney Worm can be success- 

 fully treated with Conkey's Worm Remedy where active treatment must 

 be resorted to. In general, tonic treatment with Conkey's Stock Tonic 

 mixed with the regular food will be all that is necessary as the Stock Tonic 

 includes vermifuge properties. Get after the worms, the little ones, the 

 big ones, the so-called "harmless" and those known to be positively danger- 

 ous. Get after them all, for all of them are profit sappers. Don't pay high 

 prices for feed and let it go simply to feeding worms. Read carefully page 

 193 on these parasites.
