 new treatment of milk fever. me current number of the Veterinarian contains a translation from foreign contemporary which may be of m terest to w. R. who makes some ID. quiry as to the details of the treat. ment, and others who may pc troubled with this pest of dairyland. The translation runs as follows: NJ. Yonker, who practices in district where milk fever is common, decided to give Sehmidt's treatment trlaL. The sick animal is well attended lo' and the teats are washed with soap and water, and then disinfected with solution of lysol A tube of ea0ut- chouc. six feet or more in length car rfes at one end q funnel at the other a teat syphon, which is introduced Ill the teat. When everything is ready seven to eight grammes of todide or potassium is dissolved in Htre or water recently boiled, which is allowed e0 cool to 10 degrees or 42 degrees Cen tigrade Each quarter receives 3 guar Ser of this solution. At the time of m lection the practitioner should mas sage the quarter in order to facilitate the penetration of the injection, and to allow it to penetrate along all the milk passages to the aeini of the gland When the pulse was weak, FohkeF gave a hypodermie injection of caffeine. At the same time he gave a dose of atoes and saline eaema3a. But as the results might be due to something other than the iodide of potassium the author resolved to use nothing but the iodIde, and in this manner discovered its real value. To this end he injected the solution mentioned above by means ot q pewter syringe attached to eaoHt- chone tube. The results obtained were surprising; five COWS thus treated speedily recovered. although three oE them were very seriously i'll indeed N Yonker thinks that these results cannot be easily passed over. ffe thinks that the theory that attributes milk fever as due to Che development of q tozalbumin in the uddef is= a tflE one Lower organisms, still unfeeo8= nized and unknown, may gain access 10 8He Hddef bY the teat Iamenl and set up decomposition of the soIosTaias Iodide 2f potassium acts upon these 0TaalIf#..Iz as f- acts upon the aetiho= 13seas #Hl 2 specific fashion A certain quantity eH line zafz HiA be absorbed and 5hfz mag Haurai5ze that portion aE f9a Iaz#a tHHE HHs already ga1ne# #s Hss= #z Hs# =s #8## may Ha gHafaa for the rapid dizaa= =HeaHaHee af =the grave symptoms esz HablHzhaa through paralysis 9H 6Aa BHaama=gaztTi nerve aae 6a 6He ae= fi8H of the toxin HRaa One nuc.Eas 93 origin of the nerve within the meaG4l2 obIanaata The author is of opinion that prevention maF De established 8H either exhibiting the dfas 5F sae mqa.H or Injecting iu the udder priQl 10 9aiFfHs=
