ed that his herd could escape the disease, considering the
exposure to which they had been subjected. The disease manifested itself
in the herds of several other farmers in the country, but space will not
allow a more extended notice of the subject.

The treatment which has been found most successful in this country is as
follows, all of which has been tested by the author upon various
occasions: In the acute, inflammatory stage of the disease, give ten
drops of Flemming's tincture of aconite in water, every four hours,
until a change takes place; follow this with aqua ammonia, three
drachms; nitric ether, one ounce; pulverized gentian-root, one half an
ounce; water, one quart. Drench three times a day, and give, late in the
evening, a tablespoonful of phosphate of lime, in a little feed, or
drench with gruel. Put setons, or rowels in the dewlap, so as to have a
dependent opening.

This course has been found very advantageous. Or, the following will be
found quite satisfactory; nitrate of potash, two drachms; camphor, half
a drachm; tartrate of antimony, half a drachm; mix, and give in a little
gruel, night and morning. Or, the following: Glauber-salts, four ounces;
water, one pint; give twice a day. A gill of cold-drawn castor-oil,
added to the above, would be beneficial. Continue until the bowels are
freely opened. The following has also been found efficacious: sulphate
of magnesia, eight ounces; nitrate of potash and pulverized Jamaica
ginger-root, of each one ounce. Repeat as often as may be required.
Apply externally the following ointment to the sides; biniodide of
mercury, four drachms; castor-oil, half an ounce; lard, four ounces; mix
for use.

Preventive measures.--1st. The complete isolation of all herds in which
the disease has made its appearance. 2d. Such animals as show symptoms
of the disease should be placed under proper treatment. 3d. In England,
it is recommended that animals recovering from the disease should be
fattened and slaughtered for beef, as they are not safe even after their
apparent recovery. 4th. All animals beyond medical treatment should be
killed and buried; recompense in part, at least, being made to the
owners. 5th. No animal, healthy or diseased, should be allowed to run at
large upon the public highway so long as the disease may exist in its
neighborhood.

The united action of all those interested would soon rid the country of
a disease which
