If it be required for a whelp, put only two grains 

 of turbith mineral in the ball, and likewise reduce 

 the quantity of aloes, in the following aloetic worm 

 ball, to half a drachm.

IVorm Ball for Dogs. 



Take — Barbadoes aloes, one drachm ; 



Worm seed, in powder, two scruples ; 



Oil of savin, four drops : 



Conserve sufficient to make into a ball. 



We do not often repeat the mercurial worm ball, 

 but the aloetic one should be given twice a week 

 for a week or two, or longer, if thought necessary, 

 and the dog can bear it ; though in dogs that are 

 delicate, we commonly have recourse to the fol- 

 lowing ball, after giving the mercurial and aloetic 

 ball. 



(RECIPE, No. 28.) 



IVbrm Ball with Tin and ^thiop's MineraL

 Conserve or honey sufficient for a ball. 



It will be proper, if it be for a whelp, to put 

 only half a drachm of powder of tin and ^thiop's 

 mineral in the ball. This ball should be given two 

 or three times a week.
