WARTS (Papillomata) 



Papilloniata (warts). 



Warts arc more or less common on all classes of stock. If flat 

 on the skin may be touched with strong acetic acid or silver nitrate 

 (lunar caustic). If they have a long neck, a horse hair or fine 

 twine may be tied around the base when they will eventually drop 

 off. Larger warts, like those shown in the above illustration may 

 easily be twisted off with your thumb and fingers, or an ordinary 

 pair of pincers will do. Keep the skin clean and touch up with 

 caustics as above mentioned.
