3S ABORTION. 



ctint.ict 111 infeclioiis diseases, anil liy this adililional and surest e,|" all aneiieies, the 

 herd hull. 



Ihe germs nf the disease \ egetate and multiply in the genital urgaiis of both 

 male and female, and are very liable to be transmitted to the cow served by the bull 

 that has previously served an infected cow. 



HOW TO PREVENT THE LOSS, THE GREAT PROBLEM. 



.-\fter lia\iiig pnnen to my 'iwn satisfaction tliat the enormnus loss of scores 

 of milliiiiis of wealth tn farmers an,<l breeders was just as real as the losses from 

 fire or floml or drought nr chineh-liug or any other ]iestilence or calamit\', I bfegan 

 searching f^r a means to o\-ercome the trouble. Already convinced that abortion 

 was a germ disease, i reasoned that it would have to be attacked in the animal 

 by in.iections into the circulation. After repeated experiments covering several 

 years. I prepared an effective treatment. Gradually, I worlced this treatment into 

 my veterinary practice, where it proved itself to be so effective that owners came 

 to depend on it, and asked for means to administer it themselves. Experience 

 soon proved that the treatment could be safely and effectively administered by 

 the owners themselves, and its use and demand accordingly spread rapidly. 



1 was not long, however, in reaching the conclusion that, with the hypodermic 

 medicine must go an antiseptic wash for cleansing the genital organs of cows, 

 heifers and herd bulls. 



It was an easy step from this to the next conclusion, that the germs of the 

 disease must be eradicated from the stables wdiere infected animals had been 

 kept, in order to remove this source of contagion. 



To rescue a cow from the effects of the disease, while very necessary, is no 

 more important than stopping the source of the disease. 



Thus, I added to the hypodermic injection, the Antisepto for treating the genital 

 organs, and to this the Disinfectall to destroy the germs in the stables wdiere the 

 infected animals had been kept. 



This is the complete treatment, the directions for which are given in the 

 closing pages of this book. The plan was developed and tested in oft-repeated 

 experiments, then put into use in my practice, wdiere it proved its efficiency 

 beyond dnubt; and finally, offered to and accepted by the cattle breeders as a 

 reliable treatment for stamping out Contagious Abortion. 



To paraphrase Patrick Henry, "Eternal vigilance is the price of profits," in 

 the farming and live stock industry. The struggle is between the unerring 

 instincts of the lowest forms of life and the intelligence of the human or highest 

 form. And human intelligence, to come off conquerer, must not onty invoke the 

 aid of science, but must take one lesson from the germ itself; attack at every 

 point wdienever opportunity offers. 



The germs of Contagious Abortion not only work on the diseased animals, 

 but are found in the barns where diseased cattle have been housed, ready to attack 

 every animal rendered susceptible to attack. They go farther back, and are found 

 to afl^ect cah'cs dropped l\v cows infected with Contagious Abortion. 



WHY ORDINARY MEANS HAVE FAILED TO ERADICATE 



THE DISEASE. 



The giving of medicine per mouth, by drenching or dosing, disturbs the normal 

 action of the bowels, and fails to reach effectively the sources of the trouble. In 

 fact, this method often weakens the vital activities and thereby increases the 

 susceptibilit\- nf the animal to attack, and thus a.ggravates the condition it was 

 intended to relieve.
