Cows that are cat-hammed, or that go close behind, are 
liable to be afflicted with chapped udders, in consequence 
of their thighs rubbing against them, which sometimes also 
produces ulceration in the thighs, as well as the udder. 
These may be readily cured by the parts being frequently 
washed clean with soap, or soda and water, and afterwards 
bathed frequently with a lotion composed of 
Extract of goulard . 2 ounces, 
Camphorated spirits of wine 6 ounces. 
When the teats are chapped, which generally proceeds from 
the want of cleanliness in the milkers, the same treatment 
as above recommended may be adopted. When the teats 
are very painful and much cracked, they should be washed 
with laudanum, and the cracks afterwards filled up with 
prepared chalk. 
Where swelling of the udder, accompanied by inflamma¬ 
tion, has taken place, and matter has collected, an opening 
must be made in the lowest situation where the matter is 
lodged, and as near to the side of the teat as possible. Then 
let a quantity of warm milk and water be forced up the 
wound with a syringe, so as effectually to carry off all the 
matter, this to be repeated twice or thrice daily, until the 
part assumes the appearance of healing. Should granula¬ 
tion, or symptoms of the healing process not be apparent, 
then it will be necessary to excite the edges of the wound 
with a solution ol
