    animals seldom live more than a week, and never exceed eight days when affected with rabies, while the treatment recommended for milk mania will have the opportunity to bring about a change long before the expiry of that period. RED WATER. Cause.—Ill-drained land and sudden changes of pasture are said to be the cause of red water. Treatment.—First a bold aperient, as an ounce of aloes and fib. of Epsom salts. The application of Elliman’s over the loins. Nourishing food, gruel, old ale or wine, in moderate doses at regular intervals. RINGWORM. Cause.—A vegetable parasite. Treatment.—The vitality of ringworm varies very much in different seasons, but in the ordinary way sulphur ointjnent will destroy it. In troublesome and persistent cases it may be necessary to use mercurial ointment, or a preparation of spirit of tar with sulphur and oil, rubbing it in two or three times. Tr. of iodine, applied to the affected part with a brush, may be tried. SCOUR, SKIT, WHITE SKIT. A disease principally affecting calves. Cause.—Indigestion. Too full a meal and too long intervals. Cold skim milk and unsuitable substitutes, or a specific organism in the milk. Treatment.—Clear the digestive canal of its sour contents with a dose of castor oil, give small quantities of milk, and give them often. A decoction of oak bark made by boiling an ounce of it in a quart of water for half an hour is as good an astringent as any; one or two table-spoonfuls to be given for a dose twice a day, or the medicine see page 179. See that the calf-house is properly cleaned out and disinfected. Many of those with stages are saturated with stale discharges, and a specially unmanageable form of diarrhoea results.
