permanganate of potassium; otherwise 2 heaping tablespoonfuls 

 of borax or 1 tablespoonful of potassium clilorate should be dis- 

 solved in a bucket of water and the affected animals allowed to 

 drink or rinse then mouths with this medicated water at their 

 pleasure. Hay should not be fed for the first few days, but instead 

 bran or other soft feed should be given. If the animals are treated 

 in this manner and carefully fed, the disease should rapidly 

 disappear.
