cholera: Take one peck or o Of
flax seed, according to the nlmber Of
hogs TO be treated. Boil the flax seed
In plenty Of water until thoroughly
done. Mix one tablespoonful OF sui.
phur and put 1t In the swill or feed for
each hog. Ifihe hog Is too sick TO eat,
force open the mouth and pour down
the mixture. Mr.. Mofit says that with
this remedy he has saved his hogs
through several" cholera epidemics
when his neighbors YER losing theire
by the score, and that he has cured
hogs after they had been given up t.
die. The remedy is easy to procure
and administer, and the next time
Union county is troubled with schOlers
epidemic it will pay to try II.
