For tape- worm : 



68. — Kousso, i to ^ ounce. 



Lemon juice, 1 tablespoonful. 

 Eoiling water, ^ pint. 



Pour the water on the kousso, and when nearly cold add the lemon 

 juice. Stir all up together, and give as a drench. It should be 

 followed up in six or eight liours by a dose of oU. 



Another remedy for tape- worm :

Tie this up firmly in a piece of bladder, then give as a bolus, taking care 

 not to burst the bladder. This also requires a dose of oil to follow. 

 Or mix the turpentine with suet into a bolus.

 Powdered jalap, 15 grains. 

 Liquorice powder and water, enough to make a bolus. 



N. B.— The oil of male fern is better than the dry root, the dose being 

 ten to thirty drops. 



ADMINISTRATION OP REMEDIES. 



Some considerable tact and knowledge of the animal are re- 

 quired, in order to give medicines to the dog to the best 

 advantage. In the first place, his stomach is peculiarly irritable, 

 and so much under the control of the will, that most dogs can 

 vomit whenever they like. Hence it is not only necessary to 

 give the medicine, but also to insure its being kept down.
