COW-POX.
This malady makes its appearance on the cow's teats in the form of small pustules, which, after the inflammatory stage, suppurate. A small quantity of matter then escapes, and forms a crust over the circumference of each pustule. If the crust be suffered to remain until new skin is formed beneath, they will heal without any interference. It often happens, however, that, in the process of milking, the scabs are rubbed off. The following wash must then be resorted to:—
| Pyroligneous acid, | a wine-glass. |
| Water, | 1 pint. |
Wet the parts two or three times a day; medicine is unnecessary. A few meals of scalded food will complete the cure.
