THIS CURE SURE
FOR MILK FEVER.
The Schmidt Treatment a
Safe Remedy.
WHAT SYMPTOMS ARE.
llc<nmt Experience ot Mr.
Cheap and Inexpensive Method of nir
ing a Disease Not Uncommon to
Fine Breeds of Cattle.
The letter below from Mr. W. P.
Ilarrls, one of the most successful and
experienced cattle imImt, In Laurens,
will explain ltsolf. "Schmidt's treat
ment," which is copied from Mr. Har
ris' scrap book, is also given. By the
way, a scrap book is a good thing for
any farmer. In this case, Mr. Harris
would probably havo lost his cow had
he not had tho foresight a long time
before to clip tho article from a maga
zine and paste It away for tho time of
need. Hero is Mr. Harris* letter:
Editor, The Advertiser, Sir:?
Having successfully treated a cow with
tho Schmidt treatment for milk fevor I I
will ask you to publish the same for tho
bentni of ulhors.
Ono of my best Jersey cows iu about
six hours after dropping a calf got sick
and could not got up. This was about
night. By noxt morning r. clear case of
milk fever had devolopod. Tho cow
could not hold her head up and was in
sensible to any thing. I had very lit
tle hopes of saving hor life, but con
cluded, if I could get things In shape,
to try the Schmidt treatment which I
had often heard was a sure cure. It
was 2 o'clock P. M. before I got tho in
gredients to give the treatment. (I had
already glvon hor salts and ginger.) I
gave one treatment at 2 o'clock and
then another at 0 o'clock. Next morn
ing I found her a little better. The
next day she ato a little and was able
to get up and has improved very fast
since.
The medicine I used cost less than
11 fby cents. I used a stomach pump
with a pipette or common dropper in
tho ond.
I feel sure that this treatment saved
my cow's lifo and hope that others will
glvo it a trial should they have a cow
bo alTcoted.
Yours truly,
W. P. Harris.

disease descr1hkd.
As already stated, this is a form of
paralysis associated with tho process
ofcalving.lt usually occurs within three
days after that act. First, there will
bo noticed a vacant ttaro of the oyes,
and slight muscular twltchings over the
body. She refuf03 food and drink, and
rumination censos (loses hor cud). She
falls to nurse her calf, and becomes
stupid. Nothing further may develop
for six or eight hours. During this
period hor appearance would not, to an
inexperienced observer, suggest a se
rious termination. After this, how
ever, tho chunges occur rapidly. She
indicates uneasiness or perhaps acute
pain by an alternate lifting of the hind
feet toward the ubdomen. She be
comes weak and otaggors. The weak
ness increases rapidly, and soon she
lies down or drop? from exhaustion,
She may regain her foet onco or twico
but eventually sho bocomes unable, t?
rise. When down, she assumes a posi
tion which, in itself, is almost charac
istic of this disease. Lying upon hoi
breast bone, sho bends her nock to the
sldo and places her muzzlo upon the
flank. If hor position bj ohanged, sho
will return her head to tho flank. Hot
eyes becomo fixed and glassy, her res
piration labored. She graces her tooth
as if suffering acuto pain. Unless re
lieved, those symptoms aro followed by
depression, extreme weakness and
death In from six to twenty-four hours
Neither the temperature nor tl
pulse guides ono in tho severity of \f
attack. / 0
Complications are apt to appe^V -
prolonged cassp. Those may ba Irl the
form of digestive disturb--??69 due 10
fermentation of thev-oonlonts of the
stomach and intc*^n09? or ?isoasos of
tho respirs/-? /organs, caused by for

As a sequel to this disease, we may
find a-more or less sovere attack of
mastitis (garget), due toinjurios to the

treatment.
Fortunately the necessary outfit for
this treatment is inexpensive. It rc
qulres a three-inch funnel, four or five
feet of one-fourth inch rubbor tubing,
and a small glass pipette or milking
tube.
Tho following is the method of pro
cedure:?
1, Dissolve 120 grains of iodide of
potash in ono quart of water, which
has been boiled, and allowed to cool to
about the temperature of the body.
2. Introduce tho funnel and pipette
into the onds of the rubber tube and
place in a bucket of antisoptic fluid.
?. Milk the udder dry; then place un
der the cow a piece of oil cloth about a
yard square (a carriage storm-apron
may be made to answer) so that the
udder will be about the middle of the
cloth. Wash the udder and toats
thoroughly with castile soap and warm
water rinsing carefully with antiseptic
fluid.
4. Insert the pipette into the end of
a teat and fill the funnel with iodide of
potash solution. By passing succes
sively from one teat to another, dis
tribute the solution equally amoug the
quarters of the udder.
ft. Rub the udder from the teat to
wards the body and massage thoroughly
in order to distribute the solution
throughout.
0. Eight or ten hours after the in
jection or when recovery is assured,
tho udder should bo oerofully milked
out and then bathed with warm water
(about 160 degrees Fahrenheit.)
A second injection is rarely utees
ear) ; but if so, it should be done at the
end of six or eight hours.
If (here should be a tendency toward
hardness of the udder or "stringiness''
of the milk, baths of warm water
should be applied every three or four
hours until relieved. If neglected,
mastitis (ear get) will result.
PKKVKNTION.
As a preventive measure, It is ad
visable to restrict robust animals to a
moderate allowance of dry food for a
week or ten days previous to the end of
their term; and, when there is a ten
dency toward costiveness or constipa
tion, correct it with a drench of Epsom
salts.
