44 ABORTION. 



Further; tlic (.libCoVcry of one iliseascd animal in >ijur herd is very strong 

 circumstantial evidence that the others are infected. They ma\" only show poor 

 general condition cjr ma\" appear to he in perfect health, hut they should he under 

 strong suspicion and continually watched and frequently examined. Many owners 

 I'un no risk, hut treat the entire herd so as to forestall the disease. 



The Treatment and Directions for its Application. 



All cattle afflicted with co^ta,^il"lUs aljortion shrjuld receive treatment that will 

 overcome the germs which produce the disease. 



The genital organs of hoth cow and hull should he thoroughly cleansed with 

 .Vntisepto solution. The stahlc should lie thoroughly disinfected. In this manner 

 the disease is met at every turn ar.d it is impossihle for the germs of contagious 

 abortion to exist where treatment is carefully administered.

CONTAGIOUS VAGINITIS. 



Contagious vaginitis is a disease which is causing a \'ery e.xtensi\e loss in the 

 live stock industry, owing to the fact that there are so many valuable and highly 

 bred cows and heifers, which are rendered useless and non-prohtable on account 

 of becoming infected with the germ which produces this disease. 



It seems a hard problem for the average live stock owner to figure out why 

 he should have in a herd of from thirty to forty head, from one to ten barren 

 cows. Not having lost any calves from abortion makes it still harder to under- 

 stand why this profit destroying disease should attack a herd. Often the trouble 

 is laid to the sire, believing him to be alisolutely useless, hence valuable sires are 

 sometimes disposed of for beef, and not until another sire, or even a number 

 of sires have been placed at the head of a herd, has the real cause of this 

 trouble been located. 



Barren cows or heifers thus afflicted should arouse the suspicion of a well 

 versed breeder, owing to the fact that the\' come in heat at irregular intervals, 

 and, when bred, sometimes pass a numljcr of periods before coming in heat again. 



To overcome this extensi\-e loss, it is important to treat cows and heifers thus 

 afflicted in a way that is practical and that will bring about favorable results. 

 Experience has proven that it is important to put cows, heifers and bulls thus 

 afflicted on a breeding tonic, which has a tendency to improve and strengthen the 

 g-enital organs of both male and female. 



The genital organs of such cows, heifers, and herd bull should be thoroughly 

 cleansed with Antisepto solution, which destroxs the germ and overcomes the acid 

 secretion, or catarrhal discharge, therel.iy puttuig them in a strong, healthy, breed- 

 ing condition.

Hingham, Mass., Feb. 20, 1911. 

 Dr. David Roberts Veterinary Co. : 



In tlie latter part of 1909 and the first part of 1910, we gave our herd your treatment 

 for Abortion. The result is more than satisfactory. Oar herd is not only free from Abortion 

 but from other diseases, and they now ha\-e a smoolli sleek coal. Every progressive stocli- 

 man in the country should give liis herd ynur treatment. Very sincerely, 



C. B. GOODHUE.
