Burns and Scalds. <A strong solution of baking 
soda, to relieve the pain. One part of carboliec acid 
to fifty parts of linseed-oil’ or vaseline. 
Caked Udder. Bathe in hot water, wipe dry, and 
rub in an ointment of one part of gum camphor dis- 
solved in eight parts of melted lard. Support udder 
with suspensory. Give saltpeter internally in one-ounce 
doses twice daily for three days. Page 210. 
Choking. Work obstacle up, if possible; if not, 
work it down by manipulating from outside. A gag

good. Push obstacle down with probang, or with 
rubber hose with a rope drawn through to stiffen it. 
As a last resort, cut in and take it out. Page 256.

Jamaica ginger in two-ounce doses, or landanum in one- 
ounce doses, all to be given in hot water. Examine the 
diet for the cause. Page 267. 
Constipation. Give a dose of castor-oil, to small 
animals from one-half to two ounees. For large ani- 
mals, give from one to two quarts of raw linseed-oil.
