NOTICE. All apartments where an animal is placed to bring forth its young should be thoroughly cleaned, bedded, ventilated and disinfected. An attendant should be present and the navel cord of all colts and calves should be cut six inches long and tied with a string soaked in Umbilicure and then apply Umbilicure to navel cord as directed. In this manner many a young animal can be saved which would otherwise die without the cause being known to the owner.
