The danger of infection of the stomach and bowels may be 

 met by combining with the above or administering separately 

 salol in doses of 2 to 3 drachms or naphthol in doses of 4 to 5 

 drachms to the larger animals. For sheep or swine one-fourth 

 of these doses may be given, and for a shepherd's dog one-six-

 with a few drops of croton oil, or grains of tartar emetic.
