ntable disease; and there have been some preventions
used that have been valuable in that direction. For instance, the
simple article called ashes is a healthy article for stock, which many
people use, but it never cured one case of Cholera. I have no doubt but
it has been beneficial for the general health of hogs. Of all remedies,
simple ones when they will cure are the best; and this remedy is as
simple and as easily used as it is possible in the use of any remedy.

The effective remedy is simply old lime and sand, with arsenic. Now, I
am aware that the nature of man is to look for some great and unknown
article as a remedy for such a great curse as Hog Cholera; but,
considering the cause of the disease being the animalcule, reader, you
see that it requires something to prevent the excess, or destroy the
increase of this minute animal. Now, we see readily that the Old Lime,
Sand and Arsenic does the work without a doubt, and the hog is healthy
and clear of disease.

Now, reader, you have the remedy; the next thing is how to use it.

In the first place drive your wagon to some sandbar and haul a wagon
load of sand; throw it out where you feed your hogs; to one wagon load
of sand, put one bushel of old slacked lime; throw your feed on that
for your hogs, and about every three months replenish with the same. If
your hogs have the Cholera, separate the sick from the well ones, and
have a trough, and put some of the sand and lime in it, with about
one-half of a thimbleful of arsenic to the hog; then pour some rich
slop on this preparation so that the hogs will eat it; milk would be
preferable if you have it. This preparation once every other day will
soon have your hogs healthy and sound; it destroys the worms, then the
hog is all right. To your healthy hogs give one-half thimbleful of
arsenic in slop to every hog, once per month. This is all the arsenic
you must use; you must not mix the arsenic with the lime and sand, or
the hog may not get it.

After using this remedy, your hogs that are not yet complaining with
Cholera will never take it; you may rely on it. I have tried this
valuable remedy until I am perfectly satisfied; where the Cholera was
killing out the gang every day, it put a stop to it at once; and not
only for myself, but many others under my notice. I have never seen
Cholera bother hogs, where this Stephen's Remedy was used as above
stated. You will ask, what is to be done where pigs have it? In answer
