Ulcers and fungous growths are found on the 
body of the pig. The ulcers should be treated by 
applying nitrate of silver to them to destroy the: 
unhealthy surface, then use afy of the healing 
lotions mentioned for wounds. Fungous growths 
appear about the legs and abdomen and at times 
on other parts of the body. They are usually very 
foul smelling and red or of a dark color, usually 
covered with a dark colored scab. They bleed very 
easily and therefore sometimes receive the name 
of “bleeding fungus.” 
Treatment: If there is any neck to the fungus 
tie a small cord tight around it, and if it does not 
slough off in a week tie on another; when it does 
slough off, apply a little terchloride of antimony 
to it to destroy the roots, then apply a little of the 
following: Oxide of zinc one ounce, vaseline two 
ounces. If a cord cannot be tied on scrape off the 
scab and apply a little terchloride of antimony to 
it every second day until it is lower than the sur- 
rounding parts, then use a little of the oxide of 
zine ointment. All unhealthy sores\should be 
dressed once or twice with the antimony. This 
‘will bring a healthy action to the part.
