the same year. They are made in doses of io c.c. every two 
days. Out of 8 cows treated, 7 delivered well ; one only aborted 
for the second time when eight months gone. Since that, abor¬ 
tion has entirely stopped and the owner reports the calves in ex¬ 
cellent condition. 
Second Experiment .—Stable of Mr. G., containing 16 cows. 
Abortion appears in the month of June, 1897. All the cows 
aborted between June 1st and November 15th. They were 6 
and 7^ months pregnant. Injections are begun November,' 
1897, as follows : During three months every second day, three 
months every third day, two months every fourth. The 16 
cows, pregnant or not, were treated, and of that number, five 
were sold as nymphomanes ; one not pregnant is still in the 
barn, one aborted in her eighth month. The other nine calved at 
term ; the calves are fine. 
Third Experiment .—Herd of 27 good milking cows. No 
fresh cows have been introduced in the stable for two years, 
but three calves, four months of age, coming from an infected 
stable, have been placed with them. Abortion began end of 
August, 1897. Until April 1, 1898, 18 cows have dropped tkeir 
calves. It was their first, second or third calf. Injections were 
begun April 1, 1898, and made regularly every three days; they 
are still continued to this date (December, 1898). From April 
1st to June 1st, five cows more aborted. Since no further trouble 
has occurred ; 15 cows that had aborted before have dropped very 
healthy calves ; out of these cows nine are now pregnant one or 
two months ; the other three have not been mounted. Let us 
add that four of the cows that aborted between April 1st and 
June 1st are now pregnant and to all appearances will carry to 
the end. Two cows were sold as nymphomanes, not from 
tuberculosis, as proved by tuberculin. 
Modus Operandi .—The solution is made as follows : Tur- 
pinol, 1 part ; oil, 9. The liquid is injected every three or four 
days, 10 c.c. for a dose, not under the skin, but in the muscles, 
those of the neck, shoulder or thigh. As much as possible suc¬ 
cessive injections will be made in different parts.
