they can get every two hours after injection. I catheterize her, 
and leave, returning in six hours and go through same process. 
I am not surprised to hear of her being on her feet within the 
next six hours. If she is not I give the third injection, which 
with me has always brought the happy result. She gets no 
medicine by the mouth nor hypodermically. I rely altogether 
on the udder injection. So far I have not lost a case. 
What was repulsive to me once is now pleasant. You will 
notice, my iodide dose is four drachms, which is double the dose 
given by the author of the treatment. I also use one drachm of 
carbolic acid and same of glycerine. The glycerine, I do not 
claim to have any merit, only it helps to put the acid in a more 
uniform solution. 
I could go over my cases and give you day and data with 
usual differences we observe in these cases ; but they are the 
same after all, and don’t need any other treatment. 
In about half the cases, I use but two injections, but about 
as often need three. Have had no bad effects in udder. They 
return to normal flow of milk in about a week. In my opinion 
carbolic acid is as necessary as the potassium. 
I hope your readers may find a little that is new and some¬ 
thing that is helpful in this feeble article of mine. 
The Chicago Stock Yards. —In 1866, the total value of 
the animals received at the yards, was $42,765,328 ; in 1901, it 
was $283,955,239. During the past thirty-six years 323,628,855 
head of stock of all kinds were received, and 100,487,619 
shipped out. The grand total number of head handled by the 
corporation since the opening of the yards, stands 424,116,474. 
There are 500 acres in the plant, of which 450 acres are bricked 
or planked. Pens to the number of 13,000are available; double¬ 
decked or covered pens exist to the number of 8500. The 
water consumed on hot days reaches 7,000,000 gallons. 
An agitation as to the unclean and unwholesome condition 
of the milk furnished to New York is now being carried on 
through the press, and many propositions are being discussed 
for its betterment. Nathan Straus, who has for some years 
been distributing pasteurized milk to Gotham’s poor, is enthus¬ 
iastic for that process for all milk sold.
