Lump Jaw is the name applied by farmers and stockmen to a growth of a hard nature frequently situated on the lower jaw of the ox, although the enlargement may appear on other por- tions of the body. The disease is due to a vegetable para- site called the actino mycoses, which may be communicated from one animal to an- other under very favorable circumstances, although it is not considered extremely contagious. Treatment: The iodide of potash treatment suggested in our former issue has been found to be very successful. The dose administered should be about one- fourth dram to each hundred pounds weight of the animal treated; thus the proper dose for an animal weighing eight hundred pounds would be two drams. It should be given once a day in a pint of rain water. It can be given by dividing two ounces of powdered iodide of potash into eight powders; when required for use dissolve one of these powders In a pint of water, and drench. Continue this treatment for one week, discontinue for one week and repeat as before until disease disappears. The effects of the medicine will be shown by dis- charge from the eyes and nose, by scurfy formations on the skin, the appetite may become somewhat impaired and the bowels constipated. If given to milk cows the quantity of milk is usually decreased. Tumor on the Lower Jaw(
