tor. Aqua ammonis, tinct,lre iodine
and oil tnrpentine. equal parts. Satu-
rate WOODEN mop and rub The swelling
thoroughly and for one or two inches
outside of the affected part. Repeat
it every hour.
Remedy proposed b; Mr.. David
Kerr: Make a deep incision length
wise of the swelling and with rod
of iron about Que eighth of an inch
inlIametcr. heated to white heat,
make several punctures at light an
giles with the incision, and insert sea-
tons saturated with spirits harts1orn
or turpentine. and also rub the harris
horn or tnrpent'nc into the incision.
On prompt supparation depends the
cure. Support the patient with mod
crate doses of whisky and water.
Remedy by Mr.. ". J. Minor: An
iron rod with & button on the end
the size CT q hazel nut should be heat
ed to n white heat. aud inserted iuto
the lump or swelling until it burns
through the skin.
Then apply bats Of cotton saturated
with ammonia, fastened on the wound
and wet as often as they become dry.
Fifty or sixty grains vt ammonia
may he given once, twice or three
times during the day.
PREVENTIVE PHEpAEATIoSs.-An
effective preventive of this disease
cannot be less valuable than rene
dies for it. The following arc re-
commended:
i tablespoonful Of crude carhotic
acid to bucket full Of water. Apply
this wash to head, neck and TANKS Of
the animals.
Another, to be used in tho same
way: fish oil or coal oil and spirits
ammonia in equal quantities.
BY Mr.. Stephens, as published i'll
the Picaynne With sharp instru-
ment make several missions in the
affected part; take blistevins oiut-
ment (ilies) which lnoisten with coal
oil, and make u plaster large enough,
to cover the whole sore. Suffer this
to remain until copious suppuratiou
is produced.
Meanwhile drench the animal with
spoonful Of hartshorl i'll half a bot
tie Of whisky.
Should the swelling not diminish,
or there be no apparent relief, drench-
ing with the above described mixture
may be repeated thrice within five
hours. allowing due interval.
Keep the sore well cleaned and APP
ply coal oil freely.
The Picayune remarks:
"Suppuration is the prime desidera-
tum. b. that means the POISON is
best extracted from the system. To
insure suppuration it is customary to
use seatons-strinSs of cotton or hemp
run through the swelling by means
of red-hot needle JIG or / iuch iron
first saturatins them in cantharadin
or If that be not available, in harris
horn. These seat0ns should be left
in the flesh with projecting ends, So
that they can be moved slightly at
intervals, thus stimulating suppura-
ton.
This treatment, carefully followed,
has proved successful in almost every
instance-often when the animal seem
ed to be IN articulo morris. We believe,
from all we can hear, that it is the
best plan thus far known, and that,
in connection with stimulated ap-
petite. it will insure the recovery Of
nine animals out of ten which arc
stricken with that most fatal Of all
stock diseascs-the Charlton.
Another correspondent of the Plea
yune furnishes the following remedy:
"One spoonful of charcoal mixed
with pint of whisky, giving one gill
every I've minutes-a plaster of char
coal mixed with pint alcohol ap-
piled to the effected part"
The Home Journal Of the Doth
June, after giving a description OF tho
disease, specifies the treatment as fol-
lows:
".As soon as the first symptoms of
the disease are discovered. give rs a
drench, one pint Of whisky, one pint
Of strong ginger or red pepper tea,
and one large tablespoonful each of
spirits of camphor and aqua Of ammo
MIA (hartshorn), to be repeated every
four hours until the patient is relieved
and the disease subdued. For tho
local treatment, the indications are to
bring on suppuration as speedily as
possible aud to prevent the extension
Of the inflammation. The first of
these is best filed by free and deep
cross. incision through the skin and
simultaneous tissues, and the immc-
date and frequently repeated appli-
cation to the wound, of fly blisteriny
ointment combined with oil Of turpcn-
tine. in about equal proportions. TO
arrest the extension Of the swelling
apply over its whole surface and over
two or three inches of the sound skin
surrounding it, the following mixture,
