parcntly overwhelmed and suecumo
10 products coming from the para
site.
Prevention Of the malady hence
depends upon getting rid Of the par
asi.es or at least the harmful num-
her. This is best done by the admin
,s,yation of carbon-bisulphide in two
"a three drachm doses, the same on
an empty stomach. This drug can
only be administered by means OF
capsules which will allow it to be
taken into the stomach and when di-
cpsted there, the drug will be re-
leased and will exert its influence on
the parasites. After rest of twen-
,v-four hours, animals should be CIV
on three drachms of tartar emetlc IN
a pint of sweet milk. This should
be given on an empty stomach. This
treatment is of such nature that a
veterinarian will necessarily have to
administer it. When no veterinar-
ian is available, good results have
been had by the administration of Ia
blespoon doses of flowers OF sulphur,
once to twice daily, followed by tar
tar emetic treatment Apparently the
administration of certain stock foods
and tonics have been found to be
more or less beneficial. These tonics
should always contain iron, arsenic
nux vomica, gentian, ginger, sulphur
foenugreek, resin and nitrate OF pot
ash. When stock foods containing
these ingredients are given animals
over a considerable length OF time
they seem to greatly aid in the ex
pulsion of bots and animals that have
been so treated seem to resist this
malady completely.
As precautionary measure i
would be we'll to clip the superfiuou'
and long hairs from the legs, breast
and particularly around the moutl
and face. 1t might be possible to sin
