Tincture of Iodine in Contagious Vaginitis [Dr. Pag - 
liardini ].—Desirous to experiment various modes of treatment, 
the writer having a number of cows with the disease breaking 
out among them, divides them in four lots. Each lot is treated 
with vaginal bougies made of iodol (io p. ioo) and protargol 
(2 p. 100), which are introduced every two or three days after a 
cleaning made with different antiseptic solutions. The irriga¬ 
tions are made with 10 per cent, of salted sterilized water in one 
lot of cows; in another with lusoform solution at 2 or 3 per cent., 
and in a third with a weak solution of sulphate of copper. For 
the fourth lot, the irrigations are rep’aced by tincture of iodine 
applied with a brush with flexible metallic handle, so as to reach 
the bottom of the vagina. 
This last mode of treatment, compared with the others, has 
given excellent results. The author does not use bougies now, 
but every four or five days applies tincture of iodine. One hun¬ 
dred and fifty cows treated in this way recovered much cpticker 
than all the others treated differently. Of easy application, the 
new treatment recommends itself by its low cost.— ( 77 . Mod ,
