GOOD SUCCESS WITH THE SCHMIDT TREATMENT. 
Marysville, Cal., April 2, 1900. 
Editors American Veterinary Review : 
Dear Sirs :—Schmidt’s treatment for parturient apoplexy 
has given me most satisfactory results. Of 39 cases I’ve lost 2 
—the first a case which had been treated by several “ cow 
doctors ” for four days ; the second, a large fat cow which had 
lain out in a filthy corral for two days, exposed to a broiling 
sun, with no possibility of getting her under cover. In one 
case I gave two injections of kali iodide, and next day 15 
grammes of lysol, from which I got quite a general systemic 
disturbance, which was easily controlled. 
Yours respectfully, A. S. Wieliams.
