Treatment. Give a strong dose of epsom and common 

 table salt, one pound each, and half an ounce of ginger, dis- 

 solved in four bottles of water, and sweetened with molasses. 

 Give mashes pretty well wet, and in a day or two follow 

 by giving powdered ginger root, half an ounce ; powdered 

 gentian root, half an ounce ; powdered fenugreek, half an 

 ounce; mix, and make one dose; give one dose twice in 

 the day, till sufficient improvement takes place to warrant 

 no further medicine being given. To hasten recovery, 

 give good and generous feeding, which will also assist in 

 making blood for that which has been lost.

 of under the article Typhus Contagiosus Bourn, (contagioug 

 typhus of cattle.)
