MIS-
Treatment Of horses by means Of
eiectroiyses OF fluids and giving It
BY stomach and hypodermicaily Il
now being done. This is the same
treatment that appears to have been
used SO successfully in treating hog
cholera in Wisconsin. 1t Is claimed
that this electric fluid is over ten
times as powerful as a germ de-
stroyer than clear carbolic acid and
that 1t has the advantage of being
entirely non-poiscnous TO man or
beast. so that II can be given freely
in drinking water of the stock and
can be used hypodermically when
animals are too sick to drink. 1t
has the great advantage OF being
very inexpensive to use, gallon Of
1t making over two barrels Of the
dilution ready for drinking water
or for disinfection OF premises.
The treatment consists OF taking
all horses in which paralysis has
not developed and first giving them
a physic containing vermifuge,
then following with Bacili-Kil d.
luted in water They are able to
give this copiously because of It's
being non-poisonous. They also give
the Bacili-Kil hypodermically or by
rectum injection, particularly where
the animals have difficulty in swal-
lowing. Feeding the Bacili-Kil thor
oughly cleans and sterilizes the
stomach and digestive tract and de-
stroys all disease germs and worm
nests remaining in the tract. BY
this treatment and hypodermically |
much of the Bacili-Kil is also alb
sorbed into the tissues and blood. !
They also are able to gasify the |
Bacili-Kl in a simple manner,
reaching the nostrils and throat
with the gas, which Immediately |
every passage in the head,
destroying all the. disease germs
which have lodged there, also sooth-
ing and cleaning the membranes. The
stables and enclosures are also ster-
ilized with the proper dilution of
Bacili-Kil by means of large power
sprayers, which they are prepared
to furnish for the purpose. The
animals are kept away from the old
pastures and as much as possible
from locally grown hay, but where
It is necessary to use locally grown
hay because of no other being avail
able. they soak this hay for 10 min
ltes before feeding in dilution of
Bacili-Kil and water, thus destroying
he disease germs which may infest
the hay. They recommend, how
ever, shipping in feed from districts
known to be free from infection,
md particularly baled alfalfa, mill
leeds, oil cake and green corn fod-
Ter. They require that all feeds
must be soft and nourishing and
Tree from local contamination
Bacili-KiI Is made by subjecting sew

life and can therefore be used free

and seems to have very full en-
dorsements. The tests seems to
Justify the results which are being
in feeding and using
t as a sterilizer and disinfectant.
IIeissner & Son, Abilene, are the
distributors and the veterinaries of
Abilene have full instructions for its
use on horses and hogs. There are
about 100 horses now under treat
nent in this locality.
This method OF treatment of germ
diseases of live stock has been de-
veloped by the General Publication
Co. of Madison, Wisconsin, sole
of the fluids used.
