All well animals should be separated from the sick 

 ones and put on uninfested ground or quarters. There

Turpentine 4 ounces 



Olive oil 8 ounces

 must be thoroughly mixed, and from one to three tea- 

 spoonfuls injected into the trachea once a day for three 

 days. The animal must be placed on his rump and 

 held between the knees while the hypodermic needle 

 is inserted into the trachea two or three inches below

 nature in overcoming the disease. As a general rule,
