There is considerable talk of itch ,
>
> nd mange among cattle thisyear. .
We don't know what the cause is or .
*
whether it was imported with west-
ern or Sioux 3ity cattle but since it
exists the question arises how to get o >
rid of it. Will Comstock tells of a
dip or wash that is prepared and put
into a large vat into which the cattle
are dipped like sheep we suppose. .It
cures the itch and the mange and J.
J.C.
saves the cattle , A number of cattle C.s J.
s i ,
in the w-estern part of the county u
have peen treated successfully in 1)
this way and those having cattle I
afflicted in this way would do well to ?

try Chloro Naptholeum. Directions
