Show SIMPLE REMEDY FOR SCOURS Good Dose of Castor Oil Will Relieve Young Pigs Cause of Trouble Is Indigestion.

This undigested food causes fermentation and the formation of foul gases and the irritation of stomach stom-ach and bowels. A good remedy is to give each pig a dessertspoonful of castor oil, which will clean out the stomach and bowels, bow-els, and If the scours continue after the oil has operated, give each one five drops each of tincture of opium and spirits of camphor, and ten drops tincture of catechu at a dose in a tablespoonful of water. Repeat every three hours until scours stop. |
