Reuter, of Carlstadt, recommends lysol as the most effec¬ 
tual and safest disinfectant for the treatment of aphthae epi- 
zooticas, or foot and mouth disease. For the feet he uses a 
salve made from 365 parts of lysol, 10 carbo. liqui and 100 
of vaseline, to be applied twice or three times daily. The 
stomatic ulcers and those upon the tongue were three times 
per day subjected to a three per cent, to five per cent, lysol 
salve, which in aggravated cases also contained alum. The 
stalls and appurtenances were likewise cleansed in a three

not manifesting symptoms of the disease were also treated to 
washing of the oral cavity and feet in a five per cent, lysol 
solution.— Landzv. Presse.

In both species the disease is called by the same bacillus
