give from ten to thirty drops of the compound 
syrup of squills three or four times a day. If the 
pig does not eat and shows signs of weakness, give 
from one to two sablespoontals of good whisky in 1 
little milk three or four times a day; whisky is a 
very useful medicine in this complaint. Quinine 
in one to four grain doses in a little whisky and 
water is also good. In the second stage of the dis- 
ease if the eyes are very sore they should be bathed 
several times a day with an emulsion of slippery 
elm bark. If the pig should be in pain and have 
diarrhea it should have from five to twenty-five 
drops each of tincture of opium and spirits of cam- . 
phor in a little warm milk every two hours until 
relieved. If bronchial trouble should set in give tar 
in little balls about the size of the end of one’s little 
finger in the food or a little milk. Five to ten grains 
of carbonate of ammonia given in cold water sev- . 
eral times a day will be found very useful; five to 
fifteen drops of turpentine is also very good. Care- 
ful nursing and stimulants in the form of whisky 
are usually all that is needed in this disease.
