REPORTS OF CASES. 
inatory action, which I believe was due solely to chlorozone. 
Case No. II. Punctured wound in groin, six inches deep, 
t reatment : Cold-water irrigation and chlorozone. No inflam¬ 
matory action and rapid recovery. 
Having- been always a strong advocate of antisepsis, and 
having used every antiseptic introduced in the last twentv 
>eais, I must say that as far as I have used chlorozone it lias 
given me the best results. 
SCHMIDT S TREATMENT EITTEE SHORT OF SPECIFIC. 
By G. R. Stewart, V. S., Calumet, Mich. 
. } llave & iven Schmidt’s treatment for milk fever a very o- 00 d 
trial, and find it to be almost a specific. The last case I had the 
pleasure of trying the treatment on was a Galloway cow, extra 
tat, and had given birth to several calves previous to this one 
and was never affected before.- This cow gave birth to a fine bio¬ 
calf on Tuesday night. Wednesday morning the owner noticed 
her staggering and immediately sent for me. On my arrival 
round her still on her feet, but very unsteady and apparently did 
not notice anything, not even the calf, which was in a stall be-

veiy small ; also the partitions torn down and a good bed of 
straw made for her. I then gave her an injection of i so o- r s

alone, and that she would go down and be unable to rise in a 
short tune; but not to be alarmed at that, as it is a natural con¬

down, head around to side, pupils dilated. Gave her another 
injection of 130 grs. At the same time the owner and his neio-h- 
bors, thought it very foolish on my part to try to do anythfno- 
with her, as they said when a cow has milk fever they never o- e t 
Detter, and that she was a very bad case, which was the truth. 
1 had to give her five injections before she got on her feet. She 
was down about 50 hours. You may imagine what a wonder- 
tnl k cow doctor” I was when that cow got up. 
This cow lost about 200 pounds of flesh, the epidermis peel¬ 
ing off all oyer the body; the milk was very thick and of a cur- 
c ec nature about two weeks, at which time it resumed its 
normal condition. The cow is doing finely, and the owner and 
11s neighbors are quite enthusiastic over the new treatment, 
could relate many other good results from the new treat-
