CARBOLIC ACID FOR VETER INARY PURPOSES.

f Carbolic acid is now deservedly con , sidered as an invaluable remedy for the 1 treatment of external injuries and dis eases of domesticated animals. It may be used from the strength of a weak eye-lotion to that of a powerful caustic. I'he pure crystallized acid should only be used for medicinal purposes. The crystals are dissolved by placing the bottle containing the acid in warm water and may be retained in a liquid state ready for use, by adding a small > quantity of water, oil, glycerine, or vinegar, or made into an ointment with lard, or into a putty or paste, with chalk and carbolic oil. Carbolic soap and the various preparations have a remarkable power of cleansing foul wounds, correcting vicious discharges, stimulating the healing process, effec tually kill verminal insects infecting the skin of animals, such as ticks, lice, acarus, mange, ringworm, &c. They have a remarkable effect in soothing irritation and allaying pain, as met with in severe spasms and bruises, diseases of the skin, &c. In diseases of the feet the carbolic oil or ointment is generally used as a caustic-dressing for proud flesh (excessive granulations), poisoned wounds, the stings of insects, or the bites of venomous animals ; the acid may be used without being diluted. Where too much acid is accidentally spilt or applied to the skin, oil will check the caustic action. The addi tion of glycerine to carbolic lotions will be found useful when used in cases of sore back, cracked heels, etc. As an internal remedy it effectually eradicates worms, corrects offensive discharges met with in many chronic diseases, such as fistulas, withers, quilters, caries of the bones, etc. As a disinfectant and deodorizer it stands unequalled; and one of the best plans for fumigating stables is to evaporate the commercial acid by placing it in a jar and applying a spirit lamp, or pouring it on a hot brick, taking care not to ignite the acid. It is now generally used in Eng land to disinfect stables, cow-houses, drains, etc., and towels, saturated with the solution are hung in front of animals suffering from contagious diseases, such as pleuro, it is said, with good effect; also sawdust saturated with the solution is spread over the floors, etc. In India it is extensively used as a disinfectant, and medicinally as a dressing for un healthy wounds, sores, and skin dis eases, which are very common there ; also in the foot and mouth disease, and rinderpest internally with apparent benefit in checking, if not curing the disease, when taken at an early stage. I do not mean ro say that carbolic acid will cure all diseases, but from its powerful disinfecting properties, and poisonous action on insectile life, it does good service in all those diseases where blood poisons are concerned. Recent researches tend to show that high ’cultivation and excessive stimula tion of the vegetable food of animals has its counter effect in introducing into their bodies the germinal ova of entozoa, which become developed and deposited in vital organs, exciting disease and producing fatal termina tions. In such cases the beneficial action of carbolic acid is apparent, and as it becomes better known it will be more generally used for many purposes. In a country like Australia, where valuable stock are scattered over thou sands of miles, and professional advice cannot be readily obtained, carbolic acid has proved itself a useful remedy and stockowners and farmers will find it to their advantage to use it in prefer ence to the various compounds of vitriol.and oil for external use, sold at high prices and under attractive names.
