The treatment of the horse during this course of 

 worm-medicine, is the same as in the usual practice 

 of administering purges. ' Some prefer,' says Mr.. 

 Denny, ' giving Barbadoes aloes for the removal of 

 worms, thinking it more efficacious than the socco- 

 trine ; at the same time it exposes a horse more to 

 gripes and other dangerous attacks, unless it be ma- 

 naged with great care.' The following Gibson re- 

 commends as a cheap purge of this kind, 



Barbadoes aloes, - 1 ounce. 



Salt of tartar, - _ 2 drachms. 

 Ginger, - - - ll drachm. 



Oil of amber, - _ a tea-spoon full 

 Syrup of buckthorn sufficient to make a ball. 



Mercury is a favourite remedy against worms. 

 The following appears the best mode of exhibiting 

 this powerful and dangerous medicine : 



Quicksilver, - - 2 drachms. 



Venice turpentine, - half an ounce. 



Rub the quicksilver in a mortar with the turpen- 

 tine till no particle of the former appears ; then add — 



Oil of savin, - - 30 or 40 drops. 

 Soccotrine aloes, powdered, half an ounce. 

 Ginger, - - _ l drachm. 

 Syrup of buckthorn sufficient to make a ball.

 mercurial purges, give the following drink twice ot 

 thrice a week, viz.
