In addition to the chapters on the Diseases of Horses, Sheep, Cattle, Dogs, Hogs and Poultry, HUMPHREYS’ VETERINARY REMEDIES are used for every living animal. We have constant orders from Atlantic City from the owner of the Performing Seals. From Arkansas the owner of an Alligator Farm is a persistent user. Harper Brothers published a book on Canary Birds, and the author refers to the use of our REMEDIES, all through the book. When the Belgian Hares were imported into this country, the Agricultural papers were full of the accounts of the use of HUMPHREYS’ REMEDIES. There is hardly a lover of Cats in the United States who does not use our REMEDIES. The dose can be graduated from five to fifteen drops, according to the size of the animal. PART II Diseases of Cattle CHAPTER I GENERAL DISEASES Black Leg Black Leg affects cattle when from three months to two years old, younger or older than this they rarely have it. It comes from a well known germ, the Bacillus Chanvoei, which enters the system through a cut or scratch, such as produced by thorns, barbed wire, etc. The disease cannot be transmitted to man. SYMPTOMS.—The chief characteristic of this disease is the swellings which may appear on any part of the body, except the tail or below the knee or hock. The thigh and shoulder are most commonly attacked. The swellings rapidly increase in number and may run together. They give a crackling sensation on pressure and are cool and without tenderness in the center. If opened in the center there is no pain and a frothy fluid comes out. There are also general symptoms as follows: the animal does not eat or chew the cud, loss of strength and general depression, high fever, lameness, stiffness and often dragging of one leg on account of the swellings. These symptoms increase as the disease progresses, the breathing becomes faster, the animal groans and may have attacks of colic. The animal almost always dies in from one and one-half to three days. TREATMENT.—The disease is incurable, and diseased animals should be killed at once, the bodies burned and the premises disinfected as given under Abortion, page 122. The healthy animals should be moved to another pasture and the infected pasture burned off the following winter, this destroys the germs in that pasture. Cattle may be rendered immune to Black Leg by vaccination. The vaccine with directions for its use is given away to stock owners by the Chief of the Bureau of Animal Industry, U. S. Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C. Foot and Mouth Disease—Eczema Epizootica
