On page 674 I noticed an inquiry in re¬ 
gard to removing warts from horses, and the 
method was rather tedious. As I have been 
successful in removing them from horses and 
also from cows’ teats in a much easier man¬ 
ner I feel it my duty to make it known to 
the readers of The It. N.-Y. Keep the warts 
greased with hogs’ lard and in a short time 
they will disappear. a. ,t. t.
