Blue Stone for Black Tongue.

A few days since I was requested by
a neighbor to see a sick cow, hoping
that might tell him whst to do for
her. I went and found the COW suffer-
ing terribly it seemed to me to be con-
fined to her tongue, which was in a
perpetual motion, and was much swol-
len, so that she had not been able to
swallow for about three days. The
mouth seemed to be full of saliva, and
was as offensive as putrid flesh.
From an experience with black tom
que long ago, suggested wash for
her tongne with solution of copperas.
AS we failed to get the copperas, we
used blue stone, which probably was
better. I had the cow thrown down,
her tongue drawn out and we'll swab-
bed with solution of blue stone, with
institutions to repeat it the next day,
which they did, and, to my surprise,
the COW is getting well, and is able to
eat what is given her. I never saw q
similar case, and have no idea Of the
cause, but am satisfied that the solu-
ton of blue stone cured her, though it
looked as if her tongue was rotten.-J.
