38 RURAL VETERINARY SECRETS 



the horse before six or eight hours or he may suffer a relapse, 

 which very often proves fatal. The above treatment brings quick 

 relief and may be repeated until the animal is able to pursue its 

 journey. Then give a teaspoonful of Sangnitone Compound in 

 moist food three times daily to get the blr)r)d in natural rondition 

 and prevent a re-attack. 



BLOOD TROUBLE 



This disease usually makes its presence know^n by the appear- 

 ance of pimples, scabs, blotches and eruptions of the skin of horses, 

 cattle and all domestic animals. These eruptions are due to a humor 

 in the blood and must be reached through the circulation. Give 

 a teaspoonful of National Sanguitone Compound in moist food twice 

 or three times daily. This ma}^ be followed after a week or two 

 with a tablespoonful of Fowler's solution of arsenic given twice 

 daily. Usually the latter is not necessary as the Sanguitone Com- 

 pound acts very promptly. 



NAVEL DISEASE (Of Colts and Calves) 



Newly born colts and calves are often affected with SAVollen 

 and infected navels. The infection usually takes place shortly after 

 birth. The newcomer comes in contact with unclean substances 

 in the stall, which are easily absorbed through the navel cord and 

 bring about a sensitive swelling and, in some cases, suppuration. 

 It is not uncommon for a colt to become swollen in one or more of 

 its joints and show abscesses in any part of the body after surli 

 an infection. 



TREATMENT 



I'rcvcniion is better than cure. When a coll or call is born 

 the navel cord should be disinfected with a solution of Lotio^ 

 Vita, which is especially adapted for this purpose, 'ihis should 

 invariably be done as a precaution whether or not you c.\])<.ct 

 infection. If the disease has become prevalent in your barn, you 

 should vaccinate the newly born as soon as possible after it is 

 dropped with Polyvalent Bactrins. The latter often prove beneficial 

 as a curative after infection has taken place.
