A NEW OR IMPROVED PREPARATION FOR THE TREATMENT AND CURE OF " HOOSE" OR "HUSK" IN CALVES AND OTHER ANIMALS
Year: 1884

page_text: PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION,
We, RICHARD GARBETT of 4, Forster Street, Walsall, Staffordshire, Wine
Merchant, and THOMAS SIMPSON, of Felton Villa, Cemetery Road, Malvern,
Worcestershire, Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of our invention for
"A NEW OR IMPROVED PREPARATION FOR THE TREATMENT AND CURE OF " HOOSE"
OR "HUSK" IN CALVES AND OTHER ANIMALS" to be as follows:-
"
"
Our Invention relates to the treatment and cure of the disease commonly known
as Hoose or "Husk" in calves and other animals, by the use of an inhalation
of fumes of Iodine as herein described, which we have tried and found to be a
speedy, safe, and certain cure.
Animals grazing in damp pastures are more subject than others to the said
disease, which is known to be caused by a species of Entozoa which infest, in large
numbers, the wind-pipe and air-cells of the lungs of the animal affected. It has
hitherto been found so difficult to cure that thousands of calves and other domestic
animals have died annually in this country from its effects.
According to our Invention we effect the cure of the said disease in the following
manner:
We pound and mix together Iodine and Plaster of Paris, as a vehicle, or we use
instead of Plaster of Paris as a vehicle any other convenient substance having no
action on the Iodine, in the following proportions or thereabouts that is to say :-
1. part
3. parts.
Iodine
Plaster of Paris
We have found that about a table-spoonful of the powder thus formed is sufficient
in a single application to cure a calf suffering from a bad attack of this disease but
the quantity must be increased or diminished according to the strength of the
animal and the severity of the attack.
We administer by heating the said powder in any suitable vessel so arranged
that the calf can inhale the fumes for 2 or 3 minutes,
This inhalation destroys the Entozoa and effects a speedy, safe and certain cure.
Dated this 30th day of August 1884.

Our Invention relates to the treatment and cure of the disease commonly known
as "Hoose or "Husk" in calves and other animals, by the use of an inhalation of
fumes of Iodine as herein described, which we have tried and found to be a speedy, 1
safe, and certain cure.
Animals grazing in damp pastures are more subject than others to the said
disease, which is known to be caused by a species of Entozoa which infest, in large
numbers, the wind-pipe and air-cells of the lungs of the animal affected. It has
bitherto been found so difficult to cure that thousands of calves and other domestic 1
animals have died annually in this country from its effects.
According to our Invention we effect the cure of the said disease in the following
manner:-
We pound and mix together Iodine and Plaster of Paris, as a vehicle, or we use
instead of Plaster of Paris as a vehicle any other convenient substance having no
action on the Iodine, in the following proportions or thereabouts that is to say :-
Iodine
Plaster of Paris
1 part
3 parts
. We have found that about a table-spoonful of the powder thus formed is
sufficient in a single application to cure a calf suffering from a bad attack of this 5
disease but the quantity must be increased or diminished according to the strength
of the animal and the severity of the attack. We administer by heating the said
powder in any suitable vessel so arranged that the calf can inhale the fumes for
or 3 minutes, or longer if necessary.
:
This inhalation destroys the Entozia and effects a speedy, safe and certain cure.
We sometimes for the purposes of our Invention use an inhalation of fumes of
Iodine without the use of, or previously mixing, the Iodine with, Plaster of Paris or
other substance as a vehicle although we prefer to use some convenient substance
as a vehicle as before described.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
Invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
we claim is
1. The new or improved preparation for the treatment and cure of "Hoose' or
"Husk "in calves and other animals as hereinbefore described, that is to say :-

page_text: Iodine mixed with any convenient substance as a vehicle, or Iodine without a
vehicle, for producing fumes to be inhaled by a calf or other animal as herein set
forth.
2. The treatment and cure of "Hoose" or "Husk" in calves and other animals
by an inhalation of the fumes of Iodine as herein-before described, .
