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.
