Rensselaer Republican, Volume 28, Number 10, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 7 November 1895 — A Hog Cholera Preventative. [ARTICLE]

A Hog Cholera Preventative.

The lecture given at Qthe court house, Saturday, the 23rd, by Professor Bitting, of Pardue university, on the subject of Hog Cholera and Sevine Plague was certainly very interesting as well as profitable and those who failed to hear him were the loosen. While he says that as yet there is no certain cure for either of these diseases he gave a receipt for a preventative. This medicine no doubt is perfectly safe whether given to healthy or unhealthy bogs and as a preventative is the best that has been discovered. The following is the receipt: Pulverized wood char coal, 1 lb. Sodium chloride 2 lb. Sodium bicarbonate 2 lb. Sodium hyposulphide 2 lb. Sulphur 1 lb. Sodium Sulphate 1 lb. Black antimony 1 lb. Mix and give one table spoon full once a day in slops or feed.
