160 '-" '" DISEASES . 



the morning give him the dose. A strong and mature dog should be kept 

 without food for twenty-four hours, weakly dogs and puppies, a less period, 

 but sufficient to empty the stomach, for it is no use giving vermifuge on a 

 full stomach, except to young puppies, of course. 



Weigh your dog and if he is ordinarily strong and healthy, the size 

 dose to give is two grains for each pound the dog weighs. If the dog is 

 not in usual health or is a weakly sort, try it first — one and a half grains 

 to each pound. Kamala is tasteless, and unless the dog gets the idea you 

 are "giving him medicine" it is easily administered as follows: I give it 

 mixed in molasses and then put it in his mouth, rubbing whatever is left 

 on your finger, on his nose and he will lick it off himself. 



In using Kamala, should you give an overdose, no harm will result 

 from it, as it is not a drug. An even teaspoonful of Kamala is sixty grains, 

 and taking this as a guide, you can come near enough to the proper dose 

 for any dog, if you have the dog's weight, as for instance, if your dog 

 weighed sixty pounds, then the dose would be two teaspoonfuls, and you 

 can get at it this way, or a better plan is to get your druggist to weigh it 

 out into proper sized doses, telling him weight of dog and that the dose 

 is two grains to each pound dog weighs. 



You may find difficulty in getting Kamala, many druggists not keep- 

 ing it, and some of them even not knowing as to it, and if you cannot 

 obtain it of your druggist, I can send it to you by mail, two hundred and 

 forty grains for fifty cents. It must be fresh, and what you do not use 

 must be kept in a tight glass stoppered bottle to retain its virtues for fu- 

 ture use. Kamala is the greatest tape worm remedy of all. I am satis- 

 fied and sure that it is, and since I first made it public in my second edi- 

 tion of this book, several makers of worm remedies are using it in their 

 worm preparations. One regular physician in Mississippi who had prac- 

 ticed medicine for forty years, and who bred hounds, not knowing of 

 Kamala, ordered it, and later wrote me that from one dog he got eighty- 

 two feet of tape worm, and that he should adopt and use Kamala here- 

 after in his practice on humans. 



Dalziel says of Tape Worms. — "These are, as the name indicates, the 

 flat worms which are often seen evacuated with the feces in small sections 

 of half an inch or less, when they are usually called 'maw-worms;' or at 

 times chains of them may be seen hanging from the anus, when being 

 expelled naturally or under the action of medicine. 



"No less than a dozen tapeworms select the dog as their host. They 

 have a remarkable life-history, and it is as well for the dog owner to 

 know something as to this, as he is often puzzled to think how this or 

 that dog became infested. 



"It will therefore be well to see how an adult tape worm is made up. 

 If examined, it will be found to consist of a head, or scolex, and a series 

 of segments, scientifically known as metameres. These latter are con- 

 stantly being budded off from the head, and assume forms varying with 

 their age. Thus those nearest the head are the youngest, and those at 

 the other extremity the oldest. It is these last which one sees from time 

 to time pass with the faecal discharges. They are, in fact, the ripe segments, 

 or proglottids, which detach themselves from the hind portion, and each 

 portion thus freed is endowed with reproductive organs. In tim© these
