 lambs and one and one-half tablespoonfuls of gasoline to five 

 ounces of milk for older sheep. Keep the sheep off feed overnight 

 before giving treatment. Repeat in 10 days. 



Mix each dose separately. Be careful not to get too much

 three days in succession, each time fasting the sheep overnight

 treatment after the 10-day interval it is not necessary to give the 

 three successive doses unless the sheep is badly infested.
