Take green crystalized chloride of copper, GINS;
spirits of wine 2 kilog, and dissolve With this
solution impregnate a pad of cotton, lay it on a
plate and set fire to it in the centre of the stable
turning the animals heads towards the flames so
as to make them breathe the fumes This opera
ton is performed morning and evening, burning
one pad for every three head of cattle. At night
spirit lamp filled with the solution is lighted in
the stable, To prevent accidents, the fame is
surrounded with wire gauze. The liquid is also
administered internally, with the addition of Is
GINS. of chloroform for the above quantity. A
teaspoonful of this is put in the animals drink
three times day. As further precaution the
filters are watered with the same solution.
