Aeute llamlllitis lluius the litlller

If simple ‘mammltls be likened to cold in the head and bronchitis, aclltlejnlolmmitlls correnponfi 't.o Pneumonia. it is that form of lu- tlamation which commonly spoils one or more quarters of the udder and tends eventually to involve and ruin the entire vessel. As a rule. it attacks but one cow, and so is termed u "sporadic" disease.

it may be recognized by the sev- ority of its attacks, by the high fever it causes. and the fact that tho cow loses appetite, shows dit- tress and pain which may end in weakness and eluntlintlon. The at- tnék is ushered in by a chill fol- lowed iby a high fever and fsst pulse. The quarter affected becom- es intensely slwollen, hard, red and painful, causing lalueness, and straddlingguit. The milk at once turns to whey containing curds and flakes, and is sometimes stain- tdd with blood. Soon pus clouds the fluid and should the disease. not sulbslde it eventually loses all likeness to nllik and becomes nuco- purulent, brownish in color and of- ten foul smelling. in many cases hard tu-mors form in the udder re placing true gland tissue, nnd in some abscesses forln and discharge lius into the milk ducts 0r ex- ternally. The milk frolu the other tents is unfit for uny purpose at time of attack. and when the cow recovers from the severe sympt- oms and remains n “tllree-tenter" her milk scarcely can be consid- ered fit for use. Sacha cow is a menace iif loft, in the herd as in- fection rendlly may be spread from her to other cows by the milker's hands or by contact with floors, ground or feed contamin- ated with the unsound discharge from the diseased quarter.

Other causes of this disease are invasion of the udder by pus germs (strcpticocci) from the blood [stream or llwmpnthics |,or they ‘may enter by wily of a wound or abrasion or severe bruise of, the ildller or the curried -by u lnllk-‘

What ls fur more import- llllt is that yoll should intelligently vxlilninc the various symptoms lind trans the cause. When you remove the cause, health will be yours.

'l“lils uullenllc state may have followed some previous illness, or nn attack of influenza; or it muy have urb- en from overwork, worry or too little fresh air. To obtain good llczllth the simple and llrfiilt" lollrse is to build up the hloolk but to do this you must select a reliable remedy with a reputation such as Dr.‘ Wlllmius Pink Pills. These pills enrich the blood which curries nourishment to all the organs of the body nnd ._e.llillilel them to do the work nature . ex- pects of them. Thousands". of men and women have proved this for themselves. One of these is Mrs. T. Flynn, R. R. No l. Idrinsvllle. f)nt., who says: “Lust spring _ not into n badly run down condi-

an attack of the simpler fonm of lnflamatlon.

an Affected cow should be isol- ated at once and the stall she has. occupied nit once cleansed, disin- fectod and whitewashed. The milk, or abnormal fluid from her udder- should be caught in a pail contain-l lng a disinfecting solution and then disposed of in such s way that it cannot caluse infection. The veterinarian should give the cow. hypodermic injections of mastitis‘ bacteria nnd many consider it ad- vlsalble to irrigate the udder with- mild wornl-lvnter solution of iboric csmllhouhenique or a mixture of udder, massages. and rubbing with ncld or salt. Other treatment con slsts in frequent stripping of the equal parts of cnrbolized oil, cam- phornted nil and compound soap linlment. ildlan ointment nnd mer-l ourlal ointment may have to lbel used later. Despite all that can be done, however] [perfect recovery from such an attack is extremely rare.
