good, active condition. The very best way to build up the gen- 

 erative organs is to tone them with a teaspoonful of Genitone on 

 food twice daily. This remedy is claimed by good authorities to be 

 a specific for building up the genitals and is very successful in pre- 

 venting abortion and barrenness as it acts directly on the nerve 

 centers which govern these organs, giving them tone as well as re- 

 sisting power. 



LEUCORRHEA 



This is a catarrhal condition of the genital organs, which dis- 

 charge a whitish, sticky substance usually following abortion or 

 difficult parturition. Wounds inflicted during the act of parturi- 

 tion upon any part of these organs bring about infection and an 

 abnormal discharge from the genitals, which becomes chronic and 

 invariably prevents conception. 



TREATMENT 



Irrigate the uterus and vagina with a solution of two teaspoon- 

 fuls of Neutrogen Powders in a quart of luke-warm water once 

 daily until the discharge has entirely disappeared. To adult mares 

 and cows give a teaspoonful of Genitone in food twice daily to 

 strengthen the genitals and restore them to their natural health and 

 vigor. For smaller animals reduce the dose according to the size 

 and age of the animal. 



ABORTION 



Abortion is of two forms, accidental and contagious. The 

 former is caused by accidents such as slipping, crowding into a nar- 

 row stall or door, or riding other cattle, etc. The latter (contagious 

 abortion) is due to a specific germ known as the Baccilus Abortus, 

 gaining access to the organs of reproduction, which cause an irrita- 

 tion and shut off the nutrition to such an extent as to bring about 

 an involuntary expulsion of the foetus. This results in a depov- 

 erished condition of the genital organs which weakens them to such 

 an extent that they will lack resistance to subsequent attacks of the 

 germs, thus bringing about subsequent abortions.
