inflamed) I gave separate to one calf, which sustained no injury. 
Still, where inflammation of the udder takes place, I should not 
be inclined to make use of the milk as food for man. 
Should you think this statement worthy of insertion in your 
paper, I should wish it to appear in your next gazette.

P.S. — A horse kept in the same shed with cows did not take 
the infection. The remedy also answers for pigs. 
EFFECTUAL CURE FOR EPIDEMIC IN STOCK, COWS, PIGS, &C. 
Wash for the Mouth . — One ounce of alum to one pint of water, 
to be applied three or four times each day, with a sponge tied to 
a stick 
Wash for the Feet . — One oz. and a half of blue vitriol to one 
pint of warm water, first having pared off any jagged part of hoof. 
Internal Medicine . — A quarter of a pound of Glauber’s salts 
dissolved in one pint of warm water ; add one quarter pint of cold- 
drawn linseed oil, one oz. of sulphur, one drachm of ginger, being 
sufficient for one dose for a cow. To be repeated in eight or ten 
hours afterwards, should it not operate. Do not bleed ; and the 
above is only intended to act gently on the bowels. Give the 
beast the most nutritious food — sliced potatoes, raw turnips, with 
strong gruel and steamed hay. 
Half the above medicine will be sufficient for yearlings, and a 
quarter of the dose prescribed for a cow will answer for pigs, 
omitting for the latter animals the oil and ginger.

that are not of very frequent occurrence. 
Delabere Blaine is the only person who has published a trea- 
tise devoted exclusively to canine pathology. 
I have in vain searched that treatise for any account of va-
