VERMIFUGES LIST OF IMPORTED HORSES. 461 



VERMIFUGES, OR WORM MEDICINES. 



THEIR ACTION is partly by producing a disagreeable or fatal 

 impression on the worm itself, and partly by irritating the mucous 

 lining of the bowels, and thus causing them to expel their con- 

 tents. Failing the remedy recommended at page 368, the follow- 

 ing may be useful : 



1. WORM BALL (recommended by Mr. GAMGEE) 



Asafoetida . . . . .2 drachms. 



Calomel . . . . . . H drachm. 



Powdered Savin . . . . l drachm. 



Oil of Male Fern . . . .30 drops. 



Treacle enough to make a ball , which should be given at night, and fol- 

 lowed by a purge next morning. 



2. MILD DRENCH FOR WORMS 



Linseed Oil . . . .1 pint. 



Spirit of Turpentine . . 2 drachms. 



Mix, and give every morning. 



3. [Tincture Nux Vomica . . .15 drops. 

 Give three times daily for two or three days.]
