Doctor of Philosophy, for the Invention of "IMPROVED PREPARATIONS For
TREATING COWS, SHEEP, AND OTHER ANIMALS."
"
PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION left by the said Anton Tyan at the Office of
the Commissioners of Patents on the 14th November 1879.
ANTON TYAN, of Kilburn, in the County of Middlesex, Doctor of Philosophy.
IMPROVED PREPARATIONS FOR TREATING Cows, SHEEP, AND OTHER ANIMALS."
This Invention consists in the preparation of remedies for the treatment of cows,
sheep, and other animals suffering from diseases, such as foot and mouth disease
and pleuro pneumonia.
One of my compound remedies, which is intended for external application, consists
of a compound of sulphate of zinc, carbolic acid, which I prefer to be crystallized,
the blood of cows or of sheep, flower of sulphur, Stockholm tar, glycerine, and
benzoin. In compounding this preparation I prefer to first mix together the
carbolic acid, sulphate of zinc, benzoin, and glycerine, then to add the flower of
sulphur and tar, previously well rubbed together in a mortar, after which the whole
of the ingredients are thoroughly incorporated together. This remedy is then
applied to the skin or parts of the animal affected.
The other of my inproved remedies, which is intended for internal application,
consists of a compound of flower of sulphur, cows fat or tallow, Stockholm tar,
glycerine, and the ordinary decoction of marsh mallow.
The flower of sulphur and tar should be well rubbed together in a mortar, and
the whole of the above ingredients are then well mixed or incorporated together and
are ready for use.
I have found that about a table spoonful of the above compound or mixture is
sufficient for a cow, and a tea spoonful for a sheep. I find a convenient mode of
application is to mix the quantity or dose to be given with boiled barley or
bran.

ANTON TYAN, of Kilburn, in the County of Middlesex, Doctor of Philosophy.
"IMPROVED PREPARATIONS FOR TREATING Cows, SHEEP, AND OTHER ANIMALS."
My said Invention relates to the preparation of remedies for the treatment of
cows, sheep, and other animals suffering from disease, such, for example, as foot and
mouth disease, and pleuro pneumonia.
One of my compound remedies, which is intended for external application, consists
of a compound of sulphate of zinc, carbolic acid (which I prefer to be crystallized),
the blood of cowя or of sheep, flower of sulphur, Stockholm tar, glycerine, and
benzoin, the said ingredients being employed by preference in about the following
proportions, which may however be slightly varied, videlicet:—
Sulphate of zinc, about
Carbolic acid, about
Cows or sheeps blood, about
Sulphur flower, about
Stockholm tar, about
Glycerine, about
Benzoin, about
-
4 ozs.
1 lbs.
-
1 gallon.
-
4 lbs.
-
1 gallon.
-
2 pints.
1 oz.
In compounding this preparation I prefer to first mix together the carbolic acid,
sulphate of zinc, benzoin, and glycerine, then to add the flower of sulphur and tar,
previously well rubbed together in a mortar, after which the whole of the ingredients
are thoroughly incorporated together. This remedy is then applied to the skin or
parts of the animal affected.
The other of my improved remedies, which is intended for internal application,
consists of a compound of flower of sulphur, cows fat or tallow, Stockholin tar,
glycerine, and the ordinary decoction of marsh mallow, employed by preference
in about the following proportions, which may however be slightly varied,
videlicet :-
Sulphur flower, about -
Cows' fat (melted first) or tallow, about
Stockholm tar, about
Glycerine, about
Decoction of marsh mallow, about
1 lb.
1 lb.
lb.
1 lb.
1 lbs.
The flower of sulphur and tar are first well rubbed together in a mortar, after
which the whole of the above ingredients are well mixed or incorporated together,
and the compound or mixture is then ready for use.
I have found that about a table spoonful of the above compound or mixture is
sufficient for a cow, and a tea spoonful for a sheep. I find a convenient mode of
administering it is to to mix the quantity or dose to be given with boiled barley or
bran or with the cattles drinking water. The compound or mixture may also be
given to healthy cattle as a preventive of disease.
The preparation first hereinbefore described may be used not only for the foot
and mouth disease, but also for the disease known as the rot and scab in sheep, and
the compound or mixture secondly hereinbefore described, in addition to its being
available for internal application in the foot and mouth disease, and other like
diseases, is highly useful in the treatment of cows suffering from pleuro-
pneumonia.
Having now described and particularly ascertained the nature of my said Inven-
tion, and the manner in which the same is or may be used or carried into effect, I
would observe in conclusion that what I consider to be novel and original, and

page_text: therefore claim as the Invention secured to me by the hereinbefore in part recited
Letters Patent is,―
The improved preparations for the treatment of cows, sheep, and other animals,
substantially as hereinbefore described.
In witness whereof, I, the said Anton Tyan, have to this my Specification set
my hand and seal, this Eleventh day of May, One thousand eight hundred
and eighty.
