6 TIMELY HINT 125 



Some recommend the injection of a disinfectant that wi41 kill the 

 germs and do no harm to the udder. This is a very critical operation 

 and should be attempted only by experienced operators. The udder 

 should be carefully milked and a mild antiseptic solution, such as one 

 dram of chinosol dissolved in a gill of water and mixed with 6 drams 

 of glycerin made lukewarm, injected into the interior of the gland. 

 If the instruments and solution are not scrupulously clean there is 

 danger of further infection. 



Vaccines have been used to treat cows suffering from mammitis, 

 but as yet the use of these vaccines has not become general. They are 

 injected beneath the skin above the udder.
