DISEASES OF THE HOG. - 213 
Plate No. 5. 
Shows the manner of adjusting our invaluable string car- 
rying forceps No. 4. In numerous cases the pig is found set- 
tled so low behind the pelvis that old hinge forceps will not 
touch it. In such cases this is the only instrument that will 
reach the pig, and this only in the following way: One arm 
is held stationary while the other long and properly curved 
arm is run far back and down until it can be brought under 
the pig, drawing the cord around in a loop, when the pig can 
be raised.
