Recipe for Hog Cholera.

John M. Price of Buffalo Grove, lowa, gives the following recipe for the cure of hog cholera, and states in a communication to the Dubuque Times that he has .used it successfully for thirteen years: Tincture of aconite root and nnx vomica, three and one-half ounces each; tincture of belladonna, rush toxicodendron (poison oak), secale, baptisia, one-

eight of an ounce each; white arsenic, ten grains. Mix. As a preventive, give five drops once a day to each hog in swill. When a hog is down with the cholera, give ten to twenty drops, pouring down the mouth or nostrils, some claiming that one method and some the other is the best. Label the bottle “Deadly Poison,” and keep in a safe place.
