15(1 DISEASES OF SHEEP 



INTESTINAL WORMS. 



The presence of intestinal worms is seldom known to the ordinary observer, 

 until after the death of a sheep. They can be detected by a post mortem examina- 

 tion. If worms are found in this one animal, the presumption is good that other 

 sheep are seriously infected. 



Treatment. 



i\Ii.x the Worm Powder thoroughly, according to directions, with their salt, and 

 place in sheltered troughs where they may have free acci ^s to same. They should 

 not receive salt in any other form. 



Sec Prescription Xo. 183, page 182. 



LUNG WORMS. 



These worms are usually found in wind-pipe, or bronchial tulie, and sometimes 

 in the lungs. They are small, thread-like, and long. 



There will he a husky cough, rapid breathing, loss of appetite and flesh The 

 sheep will rub their noses on the ground. There may be dysentery, with a bad 

 odor. 



Treatment. 



Give the Worm Powder according to directions, in the salt or in a little feed. 

 Disinfect the sheep pens thoroughly with a strong solution of Disinfectall (2 oz. to a 

 gallon of water). Gunny sacks dipped in the same solution should be hmig around 

 the pens, and a half sack of shavings saturated with Disinfectall (full strength) 

 should be hung around at different points, over the sheep. The breathing of this 

 medicated air destroys the worms. The sheep should receive good, nutritious feed, 

 both during and after the treatment. 



See Prescription No. 184, page 182. 



DR. DAVID ROBERTS ON THE USE OF MEDICATED SALT 

 IN PREVENTING LIVE STOCK DISEASES. 



Every animal must have, and will consume if permitted, a reasonable amount 

 of salt, either daily or at frequent intervals, as nature demands. 



When we stop and consider that all domestic animals are kept under 

 artificial conditions to a certain extent, depriving them of an opportunity of 

 using their wild animal instinct, wdiich in itself would protect them in a large 

 measure from many of the diseases they are now heir to, we can readily under- 

 stand that wdien they are deprived of this liberty they are more susceptible to 

 disease. 



The bison, the wild horse, the Rocky Mountain sheep, and the wild boar 

 require no special care in preventing or overcoming disease. They find their 

 own preventives and curatives in the native wilds. 



Owing to the fact that our domestic or farm animals are deprived of this 

 opportunity, we must, in order to obtain the best results, supply them with such 

 ingredients as they would obtain had thev been given their freedom. 



It is for this' reason that I have prepared a MEDICATED SALT which 

 contains roots, barks and herbs, and when placed where our domestic animals 

 may have free access to it daily, prevents disease and loss to an unlimited extent. 



]\IEDICATED SALT aids digestion and assimilation, prevents fermentation, 

 is healing and soothing to the mucous membrane of the digestive organs; at the 

 same time it has a tendency to destroy, stupefy, and expel worms of all description, 

 thereby enabling the animal to derive a greater benefit from the food which \'. 

 consumes, thus developing into a strong, healthy, vigorous, profitable animal.
