In treating an outbreak of cholera I think it is best to begin 
as soon as you discover the disease. Give each animal of the herd 
one inoculation. Separate the sick from the balance of the herd 
and repeat the treatment upon these and any others that may 
show acute symptoms, once a day for 2 to 4 days, depending 
upon the severity of the symptoms. If the herd is very badl)/ 
infected I think it best to change the entire herd to another yard. 
The dose I have been giving is about 10 cc. to 100 pounds of hog 
in large hogs and never giving less than that in smaller ones. I 
think it best to insert the needle deeply into the inguinal region, 
for when injected just under the skin one-third to one-half of the 
dose will return through the opening made by the needle and I 
have never seen an abscess form in this region. While the re¬ 
sults of some experiments are not as satisfactory as we desire, 
yet I believe if the serum be properly administered and we ex¬ 
ercise as much judgment and use the same precaution m the 
treatment of this disease as we do of others we will have very 
favorable returns and save perhaps 80 per cent, of the infected 
herds. 
Some of my statements may not concur fully with the ideas 
of Dr. Peters and some other authorities, but I wish it understood 
that they are only my opinions and I do not pose as authority. 
I have made some other experiments in the last two weeks, 
among them repeated inoculation 111 healthy animals as a pre¬ 
ventive measure, but am sorry sufficient time has not elapsed to 
observe their effects.

I have been greatly interested in the reports recently given 
in the Review on this subject. I have been equally disap¬ 
pointed with the results obtained by my own efforts with it, for 
they are a long way from being as satisfactory as most of the 
reports given would lead one to expect. I wish we could have
