# i HOW TO GIVE THE BEMEDY. 



top of the tube injects the contents, and the medicine 

 is given. 



THE MEDICATOR should be held upright; never 

 turned down or held horizontally, as the air is thus 

 introduced and the medicine may drop out Held 

 upright until it is quietly inserted between the 

 lips of the animal, no such difficulty obtains. Nor is 

 it necessary to push the tube far enough into the 

 mouth to expose it to the danger of being broken or 

 crushed between the teeth. The moment the fluid 

 from the tube comes upon the tongue the animal 

 will open the mouth, and in an instant ihe medicine 

 is injected upon the tongue or in the mouth, and the 

 operation is finished. 



In other cases the tongue may be gently hooked 

 out of the mouth with the ringer, and the medicine 

 may be dropped or turned upon it. Horses are fond 

 of sugar, and the medicine may be dropped upon a 

 small lump, and fed from hand. After a few times 

 they will call for their sugar, when the owner comes 

 into the stable, at the proper time. With cattle or 

 sheep, raise the head a little, and inject the medicine 

 with the Medicator, or pull the tongue out on one 

 side, and drop or eject the medicine upon it. 



When quite a number of animals are to receive 

 the same medicine, it is better to drop out the quan- 

 tity for all in a proper bowl or other vessel, and add 

 a spoonful of water for each dose to the medicine. 

 Then stir we.ll the entire mass, and give a spoonful, 

 or other proportionate quantity, to each. Hogs
